Can you tell how you see that the target is the difference and not the measurement?

 

Of course, trying a new curve with EQ is free, but I see no reason to use a different curve only for mixing. The 6XX is a good headphone, and after a while you will learn to compensate for its weakness. I personally like the Sennheiser box sound over the Harman curve, so for me, there would be no point in juggling two curves if one of them was used only for mixing. I'd rather mix music to sound like music I listen to when I'm not mixing, if that makes any sense. Either way, my suggestion was pretty simple: if you like how it sounds, really no reason to bother EQing. If you don't like it, you can Harman or flat it, or even anything in-between. Factory tuning, Harman, flat, any will work as long as that is how you want your headphones to sound always, so that your brain can learn it.

 

You can see this in the use of the filters. Measurements differ mainly in the sub-bass and treble (depending on the rig used, and because the headphones fit and close differently). The resonances can also vary depending on the measurement, rig and quality variance in the production of the headphones. In particular, the range above 8k provides information about the ear canal response. What does not vary, however, is the profile position of the midrange and the presence range on the frequency axis. In other words, the entire mid-range is part of the headphone's profile. And the way filters influence this range allows conclusions to be drawn about the target profile. At least if you try to get as close as possible to the target.

This tells a lot:

I have the HD650 and they sound quite nice with Realphones 2. (Just try it free, 41-day trial)

Keep in mind that some are not just a EQ, they also have a speaker room simulation.

For example sharp PsyKick Transients can be experienced infont of you instaed of in between your ears.

I wish there would be headphones (VSX Steve, are you listening) with built in correction with zero latency and no need for running software on a computer. Or at least a hardware box so that we can use them with music instruments such as Akai MPC, Force etc
