What EQ do you use for your iPod?

[adkimemory]

I've been using the acoustic setting, and I love it. I used to use rock, which gave the instruments more detail, but killed the vocals.

in built iPod e.q's sound hideous. The 'contour' switch on my Graham Slee Voyager gets quite a bit of use though.

I think Electronic sounds really good on my PX100 and yeah, acoustic sounds good on instrumental but really kills the vocal.

no eq at all, I think EQ does make music sound better but the sound is not real at all

i hate the built in EQ on the ipod, so I don't use it. It sounds artificial almost...

I don't currently own an iPod because I wasn't happy with the Classic in the long run, but when using that (and some other iPods I've tried), the EQ settings were completely useless in my opinion. That's not unusual, the only MP3 player I've used with a useful sound tweaking is the Cowon D2, every other player just introduces unacceptable amounts of distortion and muddiness, I will say iPods are among the worst in this regard (only beaten by my Sansa e260 before Rockbox).

I use rock. With no EQ the music sounds lifeless. I really don't care EQ it's artificial, it makes the music sound better to me.

For my phones, off works best. If I want more detail I'll use my 2move.

Sony's EQ is one of the best I've heard. When you turn up the bass you actually get Bass.

The iPod's EQ is complete bollox, i'm sure someone could write a decent S/W or even H/W EQ. The trouble with the iPod EQ is that it ups the +Db too much, so you end up with a distorted mess.

Haven't owned a Sony player, so that might be true. Been wanting to try one of their players, but no one I know has one.
