Reply to comment by AyeYoYoYO in Sincere question: does technicalities exist, or everything what matters is FR graph? by Then-Effective5434

How do manufacturers make the tuning of their particular headphones? With 'physical' EQ, if digital is not ok? Like changing pads can easily change sound, so they are changing sound by pads/diaphragm/something more?

Yes; the driver’s initial output, coupled with the housing design, acoustic fabrics/materials, and swappable parts like different earpads … all contribute to the FR of any headphone. Some better manufacturers include multiple earpad variations in the box, to adapt the FR depending on each user’s desired sound signature…
