For me, the most important quality of headphones, by far, is comfort. As primarily a CW op, I don't need high fidelity for my radio. IIRC, someone in 4-land wrote an article in QST a number of years ago about building a fairly simple audio equalizer.

This MAY be of use in the high futility world if it's done well, but the only benefit for ham radio would be correcting for hearing loss -- in other words, doing what a good hearing aid does. Some radios, like the Elecraft K3 and KX3, have 36 dB of response correction built-in in the form of an 8-band equalizer for the speech range.
