Oh come on.
Large studios have dedicated room for mastering. Those are with large most of the time in the wall real deal monitors. Those are seriously no joke. The use of NS10 or auratone is to pick out nasty things to eq out. And ns10 translates well to bigger systems. And the key is that there really were bigger systems to make final decisions.
When we are splitting these small variance in targets. 7506 is closer to raw not modified DF target than anything else. And the bass was said to be muddy all the time. This is not a good candidate to represent Harman target in any way. Apart from that any remotely ok actual studio monitors from focal, genelec, adam, yamaha(not ns10) are miles better than 7506. So this argument really is pretty bad imo.
You only have to look at the large control room study by Genelec published in the JAES where they measured their own monitors in 100+ studios to quickly understand that quality control in studios is out of whack. There is nothing consistently flat even when good monitors are installed. So it doesn't matter whether we are talking good loudspeakers or Yamaha NS10's, the installation and calibration of monitors is nothing close to standard or consistent.
Here is a measurement of a Sony 7506 compared to the Harman Target. Put your best scientific and objective hat on on and tell me again that this headphone is closer to the diffuse field than the Harman Target.
And yes they have more bass than the Yamaha NS10. Have you actually measured one?
