Here's me running two EQs in series: the equal loudness compensation curve on right, my actual settings for the Philips SHE3580 on left. The compensation curve is taken out when playing music.
On the right I have Sinegen playing the different peaks I have found, piped through Virtual Audio Cable to the two EQs in VSTHost before outputting to headphones. With the equal loudness curve accounted for I just need to concentrate on making everything sound as loud as 60dB. Never tried the pink noise thing, don't know how that's supposed to work.
Not saying my method is perfect (bass sounds too thin if I try to EQ it flat with this config--but I just tried to administer this test to my brother with the same phones and he actually EQed the bass up and then it sounded too thick to his ears. So there's tester variance here) but it should be closer to the truth.
