I expect this has been discussed or perhaps there is even a sticky but I cannot find it (or I'm not looking hard enough). It seems every headphone review comes with a certain amount of recommendations for EQ adjustments. Some are gentle corrections to yield closer conformity to the preference curve, some to attempt to correct gross deficiencies in frequency response.
My headphone listening is primarily at my desk so the discovery of EQ_APO/Peace has been a godsend. Strangely enough the only headphones I have that I generally find most listenable w/o EQ are a lowly set of Sennheiser PX100/ii. It's a shame they abandoned that product line.
Has there been a list compiled that ranks headphones in terms of EQ requirements? This would have to be based on measurements only I would think. EQ settings to account for personal preferences are of course completely subjective to the listener.
current stable, generally from Win10 pc==>AudioEngine D1 via USB==>Kenwood AVR (really old)==>Liquid Spark
