it would be good if you would not boost everything in j3 eq, beacause, it can make everything a little harsh....

i'm finding it difficult to decide which EQ setting i like more: typhoon's version (7,5,6,6,5 - BBE 4, Mach3B 8, MP ON, STE 3) or this one - 0,0,0,0,0 - BBE 10, Mach3B 5, MP ON. its hard to compare them side on as one produces a much louder sound than the other. technically, which should be superior for hip hop and jazz?
yeah, it is pretty true... everyone hears different... this is why some of us, have class, style and listen to most of music, and some people out there listen to justin bieber....
back on topic, i can say, that on the j3, if you go too lout with anything, it is harsh, but again, my friend, it is harsh for my style of music,... maybe other things need something like this.... for example, sirenia, haggard, and sonata arctica sound too harsh with that thing... but other things sound very well... sorry, i was just saying, that everyone should make one or two eq's on j3, that should be for other types of music...
because, for me i need the highs loud in holywood undead musc, but with infected mushroom, too much high, can make my ears bleed... you get the poin...
in other way of idead, i do have bbe at 10, mach3bass at 10, mp on, i have everything at maximum, excepting the equalizer, i mean it,s bands, and the reverb... why would someone ever want reverb?.... whatever........

yes, typhoon... but still, if we would use the same headphones, and have the same ears, we would agree..... this is why there are different opinions.... because we cannot hear the same, as ears are different from person to person.... hearing may vary even based on geographycal location, and even may vary on the fact if you live in the city, or in a non city zone.... everything changes your hearing....
anyway, i think that if i would be using ath m50, i would agree with you... i understood that they do have recessed mids.... so you need to bring the mids out a little more..... am i right?...
i am using at most sennheisers, and they do not have a problem with anything but a hump in upper base part, so i just need to make 100hz region be lower with about 3-4db, on cowon, and they have a much more natural sound..... now, i am pretty sure, that if i would be having your cans, i would have the same opinion as you,.....
yes, but our mind, is different, and it does understand pleasure, and things that sound good, different..... this is my point... that hearing may be the same, but as i may like spicy things and you salty things, this is from where, it comes the difference.... the difference is not necesarly in hearing, but in our inner mind and understand of pleasure and pain, of what we like and we do not like....
and by the way i do fiind rising all the things up to be funny, but it can affect one;s hearing....
no, really, i was using somtehing like that, but with high volume, (sennheiser ie8, i need high volumes to block street sound).... and after, i had some problems, like not hearing really well for 3 days.... but it is funny to boos everything... ok excepting the 100hz region.. i have seen that if you lower that region all of ie8, hd380pro from senn, and xb700 from sony do sound better.......
whilst you two were arguing, i settled on an EQ setting:
80Hz - +2
500Hz - -1
780Hz - +3
4.1kHz - +2
6.9kHz - +2
BBE - 6
Mach3Bass - 6-8
MP - On
STE - 1/2
to be honest typhoon's settings for the ath m50 did cause there to be slightly harsh trebles, however at low volumes it is a decent setting. i think it would be exaggerating to say that it would damage my hearing at a volume above 20, but there is definitely some distortion
