Ok I see, thank you for your explanation on the 1kHz... but just the plots...
About the headphones software, it should be nice to try it for fun (somewhat expensive for fun though) but I just use headphones to listen on the go or to check the stereo image, because I want my mixes to sound good on headphones also, (I don't like to listen with headphones to those recordings like Miles Davis' Jack Johnson with the drums on the right and the bass on the left) and mixing with headphones it's a waste of time nothing works...
My experience with headphones is that, first I tend to concentrate in the instruments (what they are doing) and the music, for me everything sounds pretty nice with headphones, a terrible mix sounds OK, I can hear everything, even things buried in the mix. I think that judging the quality of a recording with headphones doesn't work, even listening to a live recording transcribed from an old cassette tape can be bearable, at least for me...
Oh, and I have tried some software with room simulation and HTRF, to try to mix with headphones, and and result is not much better either, its nice to listen to some recordings (its nice to have some crossfeed) but tends to sound unnatural on others... I prefer the real thing, headphones are headphones speakers are speakers...
