Momentum 4 sound muffled however I tweak them
I work with audio and have used more than enough headphones, so it's not a "get used to the sound profile" situation or "you need to EQ them correctly". I have tried tweaking them using every single setting there is, and they still sound muffled. Increasing the treble makes them sound brighter, yes, but it's still muffled, as if listening to an audio source behind layers of thick cloth with some added brown noise. At worst it sounds like your ears are full of water. Not even my old IEMs have this issue, and I have a pair of Sennheiser TW earbuds, which hasn't had any issues at all. ANC makes it worse but it depends on how I tilt my head, but it's present even with ANC off.
I have no idea what to do with them anymore except to RMA them, but I'm not sure they will accept it. Has anyone else had this issue and did you find a solution?
