This is true, but it won't be long now until Android/iOS powered players that can run apps are the standard DAP. At which point everyone has access to portable 10 band EQ and I can mock without guilt.
In the meantime, the Clip+ is cheap, small enough to swallow (umm... if you really wanted to) and the 3 peak filters its Rockbox implementation provides are pretty reasonable in practice.
Well, mostly trueThere are some down sides to taking a pair of headphones and making them flat via EQ. The biggest is that the EQ doesn't accompany the headphones everywhere they go. I use J.River as my media player and have an EQ within that, but all the sound that doesn't go through J.River isn't eq'd. No parametric EQ on my iPod or friends laptop, etc. etc. but you have a point, the scientific, tested, and objective perspective is certainly the far cheaper one to have.
