Recently I've been created a workflow by which I can emulate another Headphone's sound signature onto my own and I've been having a blast with it, thought I'd share it and see what ya'll thought about it. Ideally you'll be using a pair of headphones that measures low in distortion and can handle EQ well. Before any of you nay sayers jump in front of this post, this is just for fun, I'm well aware that this is an approximation with many shortcomings.
First find the headphone you have and want to use for this within Squiglink, if you have multiple measurements to choose from then I recommend looking through each library of measurements to see what other headphones that library has to offer and which ones you'd like to "try". As different libraries will have different measurement equipment, I don't recommend deviating from it. From there you can download your FR response into a text file. From there you can go to AutoEQ and rather than selecting a pre-measured headphone that's in their database, you can upload the FR response you got from Squiglink.
Now you can browse through your options to try other FR responses that have been published and download its response. I do recommend looking for headphones that don't deviate too much from your own but since you aren't in danger of damaging anything you are welcome to go nuts.
In AutoEQ you can set a custom target, here's where you import the headphone who's FR you want to emulate. There are a swath of settings to tune your preference as well, you can leave it alone or fine tune it or just deviate entirely from it, its up to you I suppose. I recommend choosing Convolution EQ for you Equalization app as I've had the best experience with it and Equalizer APO but it can be done with whatever your preferred EQ app is.
Personally I use Equalizer APO but you are welcome to use whatever EQ tool you like and create a new convolution filter, viola! You've got yourself an approximate of what another headphone sounds like + the non-FR quirks of your own headphone.
