Those with the iPod Touch... what EQ do you guys use and what type of music do you use it for?

Better dont touch the EQ on an iPod... just makes things worse (e.g. adds clipping)

Use different headphones to alter the sound-signature but let the EQ turned off

Well, you could also try to lower the gain of your music files. Check out mp3Gain or aacGain and lower the gain to around 85%... then the EQ becomes usefull

"what EQ do you guys use and what type of music do you use it for?"
... that depends solely on your personal taste^^

Well, I use the "Less Highs" setting on my 80GB Classic, makes it more comfortable for me to listen to my SE530...

 

[Milk and Coffee]

right, the "less..." option works well! but not the "add..." option ^^

 

[DaDude]

Jep, I noticed that when I got my SE530 PTH, that really sounds horrible if you increase the bass... I used to do that before with my K324P and it was allright, but with the SE530 you really can't do that, but they have enough bass anyway...^^

None of the EQ settings ever seemed to help and only made the sound worse. Stay away!!!
