Verum is excellent. Best timbre in a headphone and the tonality is very nice and smooth. Definitely give it a try.
Yea im looking for good EQ too. Do share if you guys have been playing around with it.
Canāt go wrong with Xduoo
I worry something is wrong with Verum 1ās production right now.
I sent a message, using his contact form, asking for updates (placed an order weeks ago). I havenāt received any email back on response to my question. No tracking number, no email with an estimate on shipping. Nothing.
Was this normal for everyone who ordered from him? No responses from attempts to contact?
I want to assume he is just too busy and getting too many emails to handle, and that heās making it and shipping in due time. But itās weird giving him money with no communication back after trying to contact him. Makes me worried.
Following is my eq file for āEqualizer APOā. Itās theoretically works for both two kinds of pads, mine is āDā shaped pads. (I reffered to HD800ās curve and it works to eliminate some nasals and make the sound cleaner without losing basic features of gl2000)
Channel: ALL
Preamp: -6.2 dB
Filter: ON LSC Fc 60 Hz Gain 1 dB Q 1.5
Filter: ON LSC Fc 100 Hz Gain -1.2 dB Q 1
Filter: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain 1.7 dB Q 2
Filter: ON PK Fc 3700 Hz Gain 3.7 dB Q 1.8
Filter: ON PK Fc 5300 Hz Gain -2.5 dB Q 3
Filter: ON HSC Fc 5600 Hz Gain 0.6 dB Q 1
Filter: ON HSC Fc 6300 Hz Gain 1.8 dB Q 2
Filter: ON PK Fc 6900 Hz Gain -2 dB Q 8
Filter: ON PK Fc 8100 Hz Gain 2.5 dB Q 3.5
Filter: ON LSC Fc 8000 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 3
Filter: ON PK Fc 8300 Hz Gain -3 dB Q 5
Filter: ON PK Fc 900 Hz Gain -1.8 dB Q 1.8
Filter: ON PK Fc 1100 Hz Gain -1.8 dB Q 1.8
Filter: ON HSC Fc 11000 Hz Gain -2 dB Q 1
Filter: ON PK Fc 12000 Hz Gain -2 dB Q 3.5
(PK means peaking, LSC means low-shelf, HSC means high-shelf)
The eq is something like this below. Hoping it can help people in need.

Yeah, this is what i deciced for myself, too. Iāll keep my sundara and will let the gl2000 pass.
I wonder, how the 1990 pro (with amiron foam discs) competes against the gl2000. Both are on the brighter side, are detailed and have a big soundstage. I would like to have a bassier alternative of the sundara and had the gl2000 and 1990 pro on my shortlist.

You can think of this as a useful tweak to the flaws, and it doesnāt have an exaggerated impact on the features of the headphones. There is no audible distortion in response to this EQ for gl2000.
TRY THIS.
My fine tuning EQ. 
Thank you! I just sent him an email.
There is a thread on SBAF detailing the miserable customer service the Verum dude delivers (or does not deliver).
Yea Iāve read about all the negative commentary regarding his service and his conversations online, but Iām trying to give him a chance to grow.
I respect that his latest public comments tried to address criticism and that he publicly stated he isnāt what people characterize him as.
He indeed handled customer service poorly with at least one person to their face, and he privately spoke very off color in many ways. Still, I want to look at his most recent public statements of apology and promises to improve as sincere. I donāt blame people for choosing not to give him a chance to improve his business relations, but i canāt refuse giving people a chance when they ask and try to do better.
I am liking this EQ a lot. Thanks for posting!

Iāve heard the 1990 Pro is more of a studio reference headphone so not sure it will give you what you want in terms of bass although they are quite bright.
My impressions after 250 hours burn in (purely subjective):
foobar2000ā>SMSL SU-9ā>SMSL SP400ā>GL2000, all fully balanced.
Great soundstage. Amber Rubarth stunned me. Iāve listened to her āSessions from the 17th Wardā hundreds of times, and it still surprised me from the first cello notes.
Excellent imaging and resolution. Lots of plankton, although not on HD650 level. Still I was able to hear Amber Rubarth rubs her guitar against her clothes in āA Kiss to Build a Dream Onā.
Good micro- and macrodynamics.
Good clarity but not exceptional. Blackground however is very black.
Transient response is exceptional. The bass is so fast that in the beginning I was thinking it was lacking.
Timbre is artificial, empty tin box like, mostly due to the 5k peak. Unfortunately in some recordings it affects the mids, and in result you suffer painful death by thousand needles.
General sound is warmish and depending on the track shouty and shrill, but not always. Donāt ever try to listen to jazz trumpet with a mute.
Real value: about $450.
Conclusion: technically competent, listening experience is hit and miss.

My eq settings in roonās DSP.
It is used to improve the āhand over mouthās soundā problem and improve the high-end responses. And it turned out pretty good.

I like your EQ settings more compared to Crinacleās from personal preference. Boosted the bass a little and its closer to what I like. Thanks.
But I still like the tuning without EQ.
Iām content with the GL2k but out of curiosity and all the chatter in the thread, what performs better in soundstage than the gl2k? in the same price range? If thereās something with better soundstage and can compete with these in the price range, Iād be interested in auditioning a pair to compare to theseā¦ Iām not comfortable crossing the 1K mark for better soundstage but ooh I really like how large and big these sound.

I honestly canāt think of anything except likeā¦ argons and Sundara that can potentially come close to itā¦ excluding of course HD800S which is bigger
