Good Equalizer for Dub on Headphones

pdimar1 · Apr 22, 2013

Hey guys, i was wondering if this equalizer setting is good for dubstep songs :rockout:

and probably every type of song :rolleyes:

my headphones are the g35 on USb3.0 if that makes a difference from 2.0 if anyone wants to say something

Really it's a personal choice. Whatever sounds good to you is what works.

yea i understand, and is there a big difference between 3.0 and 2.0?

The headset is USB 2.0 and can't take advantage of the extra bandwidth a USB 3.0 port provides.

yea i gotchya i just run out of 2.0 and have to use 3.0 but its no big deal

May be this guy's blog? : http://www.ziyadnazem.info/post/956431457/the-perfect-eq-settings-unmasking-the-eq . I tried his idea and it's ok for me. Although I adopted his explanation that the best setting of the EQ should be flat, as every other setting distorts the originally thought tune/melody in the musician's head.

Assuming that the only issue your headphones have with reproducing the music as you want it EQ is a decent option. EQing is generally a much better option than buying DAC and amps that color the music in a certain way in the sense that it is much more controllable and allows you to run better engineered less overpriced gear.

EQ and soundlevels can cause clipping, but on Windows Vista and forward the mixing is done in 32 bit which also means you can use Windows volume control to turn down the music without affecting the sound quality to some extent (on Win Xp the volume control had to be fixed at 100% to ensure good sound quality).
