It is precisely because we all hear differently, with different ear canals,=
 etc. that any attempt to equalise for headphone playback is doomed to fail=
ure. No one curve can be applied.

And it's unnecessary in any case for the task at hand, which is speaker emu=
lation. This emulation is not attempting to reproduce the perfect listener,=
 which is a different problem.
