I don't even think the headphone looks good - the aesthetics - so it's not got the measurements & it's not got the looks! That distortion going down with increased level, albeit was high distortion at all levels, that was an interesting point, I wouldn't know how to describe why that was the case, so that's pretty interesting. At least it's not a British headphone, I thought that with Amir's initial comment on "looks the part" as a British saying was a subtle indicator that it was a British headphone, but thankfully it's not this time (I may also be thinking of some British speakers (or something else!) that measured poorly recently here, so not a headphone probably)!
It's a tough one re what Amir was saying about not knowing why companies create all these headphones still with random frequency responses. I suppose we can't have all manufacturers creating headphones with exactly the same frequency responses (eg the Harman Target), but thinking it through as I type this it's true that headphones need to get some minimums right when it comes to frequency response - it's still got to be relatively balanced frequency response with most areas represented in some way, and that can still be done to an acceptable balance if not deviating massively away from Harman and also if the counterposing frequency response areas complement each others variations - like if a headphone was slightly under represented in parts of the treble then you probably wouldn't want full Harman bass compliance & instead you'd probably want it slightly below Harman bass level - a bit like how the frequency response patterns/balance goes for New Version HD560s headphone in my experience which sounds good at stock. So yep there's still room for headphones to not be exact carbon copies of each other whilst still retaining some acceptable balance to the sound.
