Using REW to measure headphone SPL.

Hi

An unusual question: How does one measure the actual dB at the ear from headphones?

Can one just place the microphone of the Galaxy SP meter up against the headphone diaphragm set to C-weighting and feed the headphone with REW's pink noise?

Or is there rather more to it?

Is there any difference in technique between measuring open, closed and in-ear headphones?

I'm not looking for fractions of a dB just curious about real levels as heard by the ear.
