Even more EQ bands are necessary for many users
toehser:
I would just suggest that the cost/benefit by upgrading from sub-$10 headphones would be saner than messing with 31-band EQ pink-noise analysis...

The only option if you want true, portable neutrality are Etymotic IEMs and those aren't practical for me because I produce above average earwax.
Really, the only truly neutral headphones or earphones out there right now are Etymotic ER-4B (diffuse field curve) and Stax Lambdas (free field curve, or diffuse field curve with Stax's diffuse field EQ box). Have any other headphones/earphones but those? You can benefit from EQ.

All I was implying is that if $10 headphones need 12-band-EQ, maybe $20 headphones only need 6-band-EQ...

You'd think so, but it really doesn't work like that, unfortunately. Most headphones at any price point are quite far from neutral and typically a complete mess in the higher frequencies. Also, the KSC75 are better sounding headphones than most under $100, believe it or not.

One has to wonder with such complex hearing if perhaps a dedicated audiophile music player wouldn't be a better option than any rockboxed unit?
