Hello all.
I love reading the reviews and stuff around here.
I always see stuff about amps & mods but, not a lot about external EQ's.
My question is:
Are you guys AGAINST using some type of EQ when listening to music (or headphones for that matter) that is lacking in certain areas?
Is it the position of the audiophile that EQ's are to remain perfectly flat?
I ask because...I see a lot of posts about "these headphones are a bit shrill" Those "lack low-mids". These are "too bright". Those have no "Punch". etc etc. Surely at least SOME of these gripes could be tweaked out with just a little bump or cut here and there. Hell...some of the iPod EQ presets are even useful!
So, again, my question is...why not just EQ as necessary? (of course...within the limits that the headphones are able to reproduce)
