I've been using Sennheiser HD660S2s for about a year now and love them. I wanted to try something new and closed back hoping to get more bass and ended up picking the Focal Celestee after various reviews and far too much comparison.

Well the initial plug in was awful. I thought something was wrong with them, so i started playing with EQ and was able to bring the sound to a listenable state, but honest, for $1k? They sound terrible. What am I missing? I used a few EQ settings I found around Reddit, and they just do not sound anything like I want them to. The HD660S2s destroy these easily IMO.

Current EQ settings (willing to try others):

Things came up and I cannot make it to LA tonight. Seat is great but ticketmaster is not allowing me to post it for sale (artist not allowing resale). It is a VIP seat so make offers for just the seat or seat plus the loot. I can ship the loot to you when it arrives.
