Hifiman have almost identical tuning in most of their headphones but they sound quite different. Graph reading is just not the full picture as you said. It's a low resolution reading with a lot of cues we don't understand/interpret.

I think what's being said here is that they don't actually have the same tuning. They have the same general TREND of FR, but if you were able to get a good, accurate reading of them, there'd be a ton of differences that change the sound quite a bit.

Plus, our measurements past I think 10 khz aren't very accurate, if I recall. So it gets even worse once you start reaching the treble, which is where a LOT of detail is.
