The funniest thing in this headphone hobby is that there's significant differences even between different versions of the same model. And this fact is highly underrated among many. Regardless, there are countless heated discussions about tiny specifics while not even the base of discussion is identical because many of us probably have different sounding versions.
The sad thing is: you never know what you'll get (take note of the HD800 graphs provided by Sennheiser), so listening with your own ears is always the best option.
When you even add different measurement methods to the equation, the confusion is complete. All I can say for myself is that my measurements seem to reflect what I'm hearing subjectively. At least with the particular versions of headphones I have/had at hand.
