That's unfortunate. :(

I'm not nearly as bothered by tonal issues, as I find even if something sounds jarring to me, at first (i.e. stock Focal Elegia), given enough time, I always end up acclimating and normalizing the sound anyway. It just requires time to re-acclimate again when switching back to more "normal" sounding headphones, at a later time. But I can certainly understand others not wanting to undergo this arduous process.

This^^^. The ear/brain hearing system has a way of adjusting/normalizing nearly any SQ over time. It's how someone could actually enjoy Grado, Bose, or Beats while not disliking more capable or balanced headphones. That is, until they've listened to the balanced HP for awhile - then, when they go back to Grado/Bose/Beats - they'll find them horrible until their hearing adjusts again.
