I kind of guessed that after posting, but the marketing l read appeared just to push only the flat response. Which i suppose to most people sounds like a great idea on its own. The thing is, without a personalised HRTF, they are likely to sound worse to most people. Well at least the frequency response won't sound flat. I personally use headphones that sound flat to me, or where I know where the deficiencies are. Another method is to A/B with a known speaker set up, and eq the headphones until they match. Unfortunately this is trial and error. So I do see the value of these, if one has HRTF set that matches, or has been learnt.
