The FR of headphones is affected by the shape of your pinnae (or auricles or
outer ears). Since everybody's pinnae are different, a given set of
headphones won't deliver the same acoustic signal to their ear canals.

There are similar effects with IEMs, only they involve differences in
individual ear canals instead.
