Hello,
This is a video where a professional musician in Nashville, named James Lill, does some crude testing to try and find out where "tone" comes from in a microphone.
Yes, there are a lot of other factors that we know about that affect the final sound we hear in our heads. That is not covered in his discussion.
I hope it is useful for those of you who have not seen it yet.
There is a lot of DIY scattered throughout the video. (edit: wanted to add this note)

This guy has been testing things for the source of "tone" for over a year on YouTube. He even builds a real, playable "air guitar" with no body. Most of the videos are worth watching especially if you build guitars, amps, or speaker cabinets. just remember that his point of view is from a guitar player's perspective.
Wow! What an incredible amount of work. And yes indeed, a whole lot of DIY. Since I just listened on my phone, only the major differences were obvious. Then my neighbor started up the weed wacker and that was the end of that. 😡
Worth a listen on good headphones. But which ones??? 😀

Headphones? I guess we need a video to see where the tone comes from in headphones.
Hi Pano. You're right. I first saw him when he did the guitar test. He has an interesting way of doing things. I'm glad I didn't have to take all of that time to do it.
ROFL. I used an old pair of Sennheiser DT 770 Pro headphones. Funny about the weed wacker, too. The sure way to get your neighbor to mow their lawn is to run on some music.
Actually there are a lot of headphone measurement on the Web. But none that I know of that do sound comparisons.
I built a couple of little mic capsule test rigs, not so much for tone, but to match and test capsules. I ran about 100 thru the tests.
