I am not interested in (d)equalizing or adjusting for my personal
hearing imperfections, I am interested in sound reproduction as
real as can be.
I suspect your comments misses an important point. The types of
differences I have been talking about are not imperfections, they are
naturally-varying characteristics. Similar logic would say that the
Matterhorn is imperfect because it does not look exactly like Everest. All
natural diamonds are different because they have varying imperfections. What
you are saying is that a diamond with an imperfection on one side is
imperfect because some other diamond has a similar imperfection on its left
side.
These differences in hearing are just naturally-occuring variations. You
unwisely can demand that products be mass-produced to suit them which will
of course never happen. Or, you can somehow contrive to customize
mass-produced products to be more ideal for your particular set of
naturally-occuring variations. These differences are partially due to the
fact that listening with headphones or earphones is a basically unnatural
act, as is listening with speakers.
One approach to tailoring earphones to exactly your own set of
naturally-occurring hearing and ear varitions is to simply buy a hearing
aid. Even a mediocre pair of hearing aids will cost you far more than the
highest-end headphones that we have been talking about. Your next problem
will be interfacing your new hearing aid to the rest of your audio system.
