I disagree......

So you are applying e.q. electronically.  Yes I do that, but you can 
also do it acoustically i.e. Shure 444. Those who don't know how a 444 
works just cup you hands in front of your mouth and hear the difference 
to your voice. That the principle.

Microphones and headphones sound and feel differently. All I am saying 
is when purchasing, go for one that you like.  Not one that I like. Not 
one that Joe likes.  That's my argument.

The fact that Joe  thinks certain products are over priced is his view, 
not necessarily everyone's otherwise Heil would not be in business.
