Are you invalidating all of these measurements?

Saying that technicalities cannot be measured?

You guys sure do measure an apple dongle and say is all you really need.

But when it comes to technicalities everyone agrees that they are subjective?

eeeeh not sure tbh. i've seen headphones with decent FR that sounded like smeary horseshit, for example moondrop chu.

Why does everyone say they are subjective?

cuz everybody has different ears and everybody thinks that what they hear is the end-all be all. but to answer your question: technicalities is not subjective.

Are you invalidating all of these measurements?

ratings are useless. i only want raw frequency respons graphs.

unfortunately not everybody agrees on this.
