Is equalizing a headset like the KZ EDC Pro and KZ EDX Pro with software good or bad? Can it cause premature wear of the dynamic driver and armature?

Can the KZ equalization be improved on a PC and have better bass, treble and midrange without muffled sound?

If I equalize on a PC and use it on a Sandisk Clipjam mp3 player, won't the equalization be the same as on a PC?

I don't understand anything about equalization, I'm not an audiophile, I just appreciate a clean, clear, defined sound, good bass.

First try it on the PC. Get APO and Peace installed and hit the Autoeq button and select your IEMs in the list for a preset. It won't harm the driver as long as you do a preamp reduction for every decibel you boost. The Autoeq presets have that built in, so you'll be fine. Those are Harman tuning and usually sound best for most people.

Are 2 apps necessary to equalize? I don't understand anything about equalization. I only use the original KZ EDC Pro and KZ EDX Pro, but are software equalizations better for bass, midrange, highs, voices and sub-bass?

I wouldn't want to damage the dynamic drive and balanced armature with the changes.

Does this equalization on the PC not save the in Inear for use on the Sandisk Clip Jam mp3 player?

PC with sound of motherboard ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 or mp3 player sandisk clipjam

The problem is you will need to use the same source every time you want to listen to that IEM. Unless you only use your IEM exclusively with your PC, it is such a hassle to EQ an IEM.
