Resolve slowly becoming an objectivist /s. But seriously, as I hear more and more headphones, the more the subjective qualities define it for me, more than anything we can see from the fr. Don’t get me wrong, I get that “resolution” and such is only a description and isn’t something scientific, and that should be clearly stated.
But when I eq everything to a target, and yet the headphones still sound completely different, the less tonality matters to me. Then sometimes, I forget I have the wrong eq loaded, and I don’t even notice for a while, because the headphone still has those core “subjective” traits. For me, the fr only tells me if there’s anything wrong.
TLDR imo the subjective experience is much more important than measurements for a review. If a review only includes the subjective, I’ll still watch it. If a review is only measurements, I’m not watching that review.
