During that time I just start to learn about audio, and I didn't hear about  transfer function . Not until 2017, I took the sound system class. That's the first time I hear about transfer function and  Smaart . In 2018 I took the Smaart fundamentals class. That's the time I learn how to do a frequency response measurement. Enough storytime, here is the measurement I got for my headphones.  I did the measurement using Smaart V8. I used a Yamaha O1V96 to generate pink noise , sent to a Yamaha Ri8. I use
