I know there are a number of threads on this already, and maybe even one or two that I started, so I apologize in advance for yet another
I've done this type of measurement previously, and usually EQed it to a flat or slightly sloping target with good results. This time, I wanted to check to see how closely some of the artificial measurement rig error curves match my own, in-ear microphone measurements with HD650 (solid line is my FR error):
The things I note is less of an error in the lower frequencies than the Oratory or Inner-Fidelity measurements, and lack of the ~3KHz bump. What accounts for these differences other than possibly my own ear structure? Or is it the averaging over multiple positions?
My FR was captured with 4 averaged sweeps, each with me repositioning the headphone slightly to achieve as good a fit as I can make it by feel, as well as re-seating the microphone in the ear canal. The Harman target and the two error curves for HD650 were sourced from https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq
