OK. I guess I'm lost here. I was sort of replying to the OP's question.it has to do with the old post of mine you replied. I was talking about studies to determine a neutral response in headphone

Yes they are. Dr Sean Olive's research is most definitely concerned with perceptual flatness / neutrality, for which they use preference as an accurate proxy.That's really the bottom line. Harman is a company that wants to move headphones. They aren't terribly concerned about flat

Agreed. I appreciate the intent, but the execution might be difficult.the "perceptual flatness / neutrality" is the problem. If you have 30 years of experience with anechoicly flat speakers in a room you don't have 30 years of experience with neutral sound. their "neutrality" is basically "neutral speaker in an average room". since the average room is not neutral this is not neutral in a strict sense.

Room experience is irrelevant to this particular discussion, but actually yes you do, if your room has comparable acoustics to a mastering studio.the "perceptual flatness / neutrality" is the problem. If you have 30 years of experience with anechoicly flat speakers in a room you don't have 30 years of experience with neutral sound.
No, it's (perceived) 'neutral in a good room'. As mastering studios are good rooms, this conserves the neutrality of anechoically flat speakers in such rooms, translated to headphones, thereby preserving the artist's intent.their "neutrality" is basically "neutral speaker in an average room". since the average room is not neutral this is not neutral in a strict sense.

No they're not. They have comparable reverberation times.those rooms are very different from the Harman rooms
it has to be thisCope by manufacturers and duped consumers of numerous bass deficient products.
The only target I can advise is markanini target: https://kurin.squig.link/?share=mar..._7Hz_Salnotes_Zero,Oratory_Moondrop_Starfield

You are welcome.ok, this totally doesn't seam to make sense,
but your target gets my KZ IEM closest to what my Superlux overear sounds like with the iso diffuse field target.
I just spent ours testing targets and will stick with this one for now. thanks a lot
