To be clear, I know about this and the "fear" was that I have gotten old enough for it to happen to me.Ears do continue to grow! Appalling but true. Also they get hairy. I wish you long life and enjoy

I bought one from Amazon and it is here already. Could measure it soon and see if this is true.Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones do not need eq, are open backed.
I'd say the same applies to the AKG K 371. By this, I mean one could just plug them in to something low power, use no eq, and be happy. I'm sure there would be subtle improvements with eq, but nothing like the way the Drop 6XX/Sennheiser 650 opens up with eq and extra juiceI bought one from Amazon and it is here already.

The public part is real. The part you made up is, well, made up.Sure there is. The Harmon Target Response curve is common knowledge on the internet. This is not some made up or secret thing. Sean Olive has been publishing his research on this since 2012.
I have the K371 as well so we will also see about that one.I'd say the same applies to the AKG K 371.

It's not a matter of belief, let's look at your assertion that K371 doesn't conform to the Harman target. Harman papers have defined a preference scale from 0-100. In one online measurement database K371 scores higher than 401 other headphones. You can also say K371 belongs to a exclusive group of 2% that scores highest.Your right. Any headphone can be said to conform to HTR, based upon whatever someone wants to believe.

Feel free to believe what you want. Some people believe evolution is false or that AIDS is a myth. It's all good.
The preference ratings are based on Harman targets... From the link:Those preference ratings are not the Harman Target Response.

I think Dr. Sean Olive, who works for Harman, came up with the preference score formula. Here's a picture from his Twitter feed:Nor have I seen any Harman papers using a range of 0-100 for preference scores, as stated by @markanini. But I'm happy to be corrected, but preferably by a citation of said Harman paper!
Unless your point is specifically about the number range -- I don't know enough to comment on that.
I gotcha. Maybe @MZKM can comment on that because he has the best handle on preference formula calculations here and is outputting numbers in that range.This.
If you read headphones review threads on this site you might have already seen preference scores posted using the Harman preference model. The details were published in a AES paper from 2018 by Sean Olive.Nor have I seen any Harman papers using a range of 0-100 for preference scores, as stated by @markanini.

Why are you all using this "Harmon" to call Harman? Is it merely mocking or did I miss something?Sure there is. The Harmon Target Response curve is common knowledge on the internet. This is not some made up or secret thing. Sean Olive has been publishing his research on this since 2012.
If we consider preference on 0-100 scale, 80 is a lot, but well, a lot of deviation too. K371 loses points on midrange, the rest fits better.Oh, good. Since the K371 scored an 89, it is not in the excellent range. So I guess anything in the '80s is considered conforming to HTR? 7506 got an 80. So it must conform to???
