There are times for analyzing the technical stuff like frequency response and distortion but they don't tell the whole story or determine if a headphone is good or bad, it's a starting point to see if a measurement is bad enough to influence your experience in a negative way. These days I first look up frequency response graphs to see if a headphone I'm researching has a borked graph (COUGH Sivga SV021). While headphones shouldn't be perfectly flat in the response and don't have to be, if there are massive peaks or dips where it shouldn't be then it might be a headphone I won't like.
If you do go for this approach, please try and use a single or a couple reputable sources where you understand the target they are using.
