I don’t think headphones are neglected regarding experimental studies. In generally there is too little experimental studies and zero major one's with significant patern (number of participants). Hopefully one day that will change. For now at best we can sum those which turned to be consistent with each other (both conducted on speakers and headphones) like equal loudness one's. Even so cumulative participants number is still less than 1000 (in over 100 studies) and not significant enough.With regards to speakers - of course. As for headphones, the field looks like it's barely being explored, honestly which is precisely why the Harman discussion looks strange. As such, DSP limits in HP still looks hard to assess, discuss even. It's because the headphone research in general is neglected to an extent where anything more 'objective' stirs the brew.
I'd call that successful consumer conditioning.
