Oh ... dooood ... you are so wrong, I'm moving on exactly so that I can bring more meaningful evaluation of gear to the hobby. I worked for HeadRoom before; I work for you now.

cheemo, you just made my day man.

(I'm fairly well known not to like the Grado sound. nttawwt.)
This appears to be great forthcoming news , as HR's capabilities are unique in the headphone field. But I've alwys thought that along with the info, there were glaring issues in how you obtained the results which rendered a lot of it of limited use.
At the simplest levels for example, I'd wondered why Headroom doesn't use a reference human head for positioning calibration when using your HMS - when I rented one it was one of the first things I did when working out my testing method, but sticking different phones I knew to be placement sensitive and comparing them with HR's measurements it was pretty clear that such calibration wasn't going on.
I had no idea you were leaving. End of an era indeed. Whatever you're up to, Good luck!
