can EQ damage your headphones
can EQ damage your headphones
i assume you only use them at the PC then?
Id say the more you have to EQ, the more it indicates your setup has issues you have to correct for, or possibly you may have some hearing loss and EQ to compensate, generally speaking a good system playing hi quality sources wont require EQ, but music is personal and as long as you enjoy the experience more power to you. I don't EQ on my headphone setup. but I mess with it all the time in my car ( 84 Z31 na with Blaupunkt / Polk setup).
I'd definitely EQ if my iTunes EQ didn't generate a nasty amount of distortion throughout the entire audio spectrum.
Best to either bypass iTunes EQ or only EQ down - additive does throw in some pretty bad distortion.
