Before you shout and yell that I shouldn't use an equalizer.. EVER.. hear me out. I bought my 770's a couple months ago. I'm REALLY happy with them. The subbass is amazing and they have an incredible soundstage for closed back headphones. I listen to all kinds of music, but mainly genres that fits within the EDM label (which is why I bought the 770's in the first place since they have a reputation for being really good for that).
So what's the problem, you might ask? Well.. I have an ear thing. My right ear hear like 20% less than my left so the highs are sort of harsh (really noticable when listening to synth heavy house) on my ears. That and the mids sound abit recessed I guess.
I've got my cans hooked up to a Xonar U7 (I know, there are better amps out there.. It was just available at the time and cheap) and I've been trying to mess around wit the 10 bar EQ that comes with Dolby Home Theater V4, but I'm going blind here. I've been reading up and the general consensus seems to be that if you are dead set on EQ'ing, then go DOWN, not up.
I guess I'm just looking for tips. "Do it until it sounds good" won't cut it. Give me charts and DB levels
Thanks in advance if someone bothers.
EDIT: For further help, I always lean towards deep sounds. Because of my ear I tend to shy away from piercing synths etc and prefer music like "Bingo Players - Knock You Down (Mr. Fijiwiji Remix)".
