I partially disagree; when you buy a high end headphone, you are paying primarily for technical performance. There are several affordably priced headphones that have great tuning.
Audeze specifically mentioned this when they came out with the LCD-4 line, and also recently when they introduced the LCD-5. Not everyone will like this tactic, but it's the road they chose to go down.
Technical performance definitely overlaps with 'tuning' as manufacturers decide on the end product. There are tradeoff decisions at each and every point.
If people want to EQ the LCD-5 that's totally cool, but there isn't some unique reason that makes it (EQ with it vs other headphones) special imo.
