You can test and proof pretty much any mic or mic array, using readily available, standardised, impulsive sources, recorded from afar. A hundred shots all-round from a starter pistol can't go too much off. Even a couple of dozen popped air balloons of similar size from medium range can't. Or clapping your hands, the clipper traditionally used to synch audio and video, if you get your mechanics right and systematic.
Trying something like that, Sennheiser is not the best option. Even their headphones are dull, despite the impressive curves they delve out on paper.
Of course I then went with Grado, because "they sounded better and livelier". I'm then not too sure that was because Grado has it more accurate, or because they fuck up the differential phase more.
Quantifying headphones' nearfields is *significantly* more difficult than what mics and mic arrays do, because in the latter case you can employ free field conditions and far fields. Everything else then follows.
