Headphoneus Supremus
For me a headphone is just a pair of speakers and if i know that mechanical stuff won't do any trouble, so EQ should be good to go, i gladly try it out. Don't have a measure rig myself, which is why i trust the EQ profiles from oratory, which worked great for me so far. I do have pretty good hearing for my age and can still hear fine until 16-17khz and don't have major flaws. Not sure about my ear/headshape though.
So, if a headphone with EQ sounds much better to me, why not? Unless you don't want to be chained by the need of EQ all the time.
In my case the susvara and zmf auteur were the closest to what i like without any EQ involved.
Oh I have absolutely nothing against EQ'ing or people that do. I was just speaking to how hard it is to reliably compare headphones with EQ. Again, for personal purposes it doesn't matter really.
