Yet, there are so many people like bassy headphones, and there is no doubt; I believe majority of people are bassheads. Now the question is, why?
If a slight bass bump preference is common, isn't that compensating for the limitations of headphones compared with speakers--not something intrinsically desirable?

I'm just going by what everyone did to their bass and treble controls in the car and at home. Pretty much everyone I know. Don't you think studios will take advantage of this? Thus feeding the habit in a vicious cycle.
I was told that FM radio has EQ on it already, to compensate for engine noise in cars. That's why it always sounds a bit mid-heavy.
