The it seems a litte presumptious maybe to assume suggest indivdual calibrations using HATS, without validating against other methods. But what would you expect from someone associated with a company that sells individual calibration as a service.

Harmans effort will keep having a one up, as it's a validated efforts, to the point that specific numbers are given for how well their model predict listener preference. This Sonarworks effort gives up on the concept of predictive power from the get go, so what can it be worth in this ecology, other than marketing?
