These meaaurements look accurate. Perhaps slightly more than past ones.
Definitely Harmonic Distortion is easier to interpret.

However, consider aligning 0 dB with 1000 or 500 Hz level and providing a magnified view of the FR.
This means switching the reference to about sqrt(2) V/Pa
Or 0.707 Pa/V.

The measurements make t50rp look like they dont need much modding.

Those aren't CSDs which pinpoint the T50rp flaw: resonant ear cups.

Are you serious?  Go back and look at the stock T50rp CSD plots again.

it does look pretty odd around 1k and so, but haven't heard t50rp stock so I can't comment on that.

I have, it sounds bit resonant and somewhat "plasticky" in nature. I bet it's the wide but short 10k ringing in action combined with bit too long mids decay.
Paradox is a major improvement on this front - if not any others unfortunately - in the basic version.

The D4 on the HE500 here looks kinda :gross:. It seems more normal in the Abyss review. Any idea what would cause this discrepancy?
