I decided to try this on my $30 portable headphones, until I upgrade to something more serious. (My Sennheiser HD650s were destroyed in a flood a while back).
The SQ went from a 3/10 to a 6.5/10, easliy. 24-bit digital EQ is a godsend. Actually I'm not new to EQ - I used to run an all-digital PC based audio system using foobar and a Tact Audio digital amp. The EQ really helped balance out the speakers and room response. But I digress...
Just for your entertainment I am showing you what was necessary to flatten out my Vivance Aircoustics, running direct from my Macbook Pro jack. I needed to find an 8-band parametric EQ to handles these suckers.The 20-20k response fits within a 20dB envelope! LOL (It might need some fine tuning but you get the idea).
