Nobody is offended. Saying eq takes the variety out, and that it messes up what makes a headphone unique is just completely untrue. You’re never going to get one headphone to sound like another and there are more factors than FR that affect this. Proper EQ is mostly used to slightly smooth out anomalies and issues from the factory tuning, and sometimes even bring out the unique qualities the headphone presents. While it’s not the “end all be all” some people think it is, It’s a very useful tool if you have the time for it. Try giving it a fair shot when you have the time 👍

Also, people seem to think you have to use someone else’s preset eq for the best results. This is also false. EQ is an art imo (which is why it’s so time consuming). You have a great amount of freedom to make your headphone sound the most enjoyable if that’s the route you want to go.
