FR is by far the most important aspect of a headphone, and “fixing” FR with digital EQ, even if the fixing occurs at 192khz, which almost no consumer offerings could dream of doing, is not the best solution.

How do manufacturers make the tuning of their particular headphones? With 'physical' EQ, if digital is not ok? Like changing pads can easily change sound, so they are changing sound by pads/diaphragm/something more?

Yes; the driver’s initial output, coupled with the housing design, acoustic fabrics/materials, and swappable parts like different earpads … all contribute to the FR of any headphone. Some better manufacturers include multiple earpad variations in the box, to adapt the FR depending on each user’s desired sound signature…
