Understood.
Imo, your ears are always the best guide. And as mentioned in my previous posts, I believe there are also a few spots in the upper treble, and in the 6 kHz and 1.25-1.5 kHz areas where the K371 appears a bit too depressed, and lacking in some brightness. While there are other areas (such as around the 8-10 kHz region) where it is probably a bit too bright. And it doesn't appear to me like the EQ curve you're using from AutoEQ would necessarily be ideal for making adjustments to those particular issues. That is really all I'm saying here.
I have only listened to these headphones a few times at Guitar Center though (including yesterday), under less than ideal conditions. And am basing my opinions on how to perform the corrections mostly on my computed difference curve (based on the Average of 19 HPs), and to some extent also Rtings compensated graph. So my suggestions could be totally wrong, or off base, or "bogus" (as the kids like to say). The only way to know for sure though is to try some of them.
Fwiw, I'm not really trying to advocate for one approach or another here (even though it may seem that way). I frankly don't care what approach anyone else uses to correct or compensate their headphones or other equipment,... unless they're using it to produce music that I (and others) may eventually want to listen to on our correctly calibrated and adjusted gear. That is what tone controls are for though.
It's based off of this measurement which is oratory1990's measurement.
