I typically use EQ on most of my headphones to get the tonality I want but there are some oddities I've experienced when doing so that aren't exactly technical performance changes though they do have an impact on enjoyment. Auto EQ is my go to but Harman target doesn't sound good on some headphones. I can't stand it on my LCD-XC but it sounds great on my Ora graphene Q, both of which measure very close to Harman once auto EQ is applied. Another issue I've had is some amps distort the bass when I use a bass shelf but some don't.

I similarly think the 7hz Timeless sounds like shit targeted to Harman. But I really like it on the HD 800, both because it tamps down some harsh treble and gives the bass presence.
