    How do you listen to your music?

    Since the first time that I had a graphic equaliser with presets I've always gone straight to "Rock" and left it at that because that gives a bass heavy sound.

    Yesterday I had a play around. Electonica sounds a little flat to me

    But now I think that Techno sounds much better than rock - for what we listen to at any rate.

    Have I been doing it wrong all this time? How do other people like their levels?

        I think that's what the Techno EQ virtually is!

            The only EQing I can imagine myself doing is to tweak the levels for the ear/headphones I'm using, and then leave it alone. Not adjust levels for different genres. EQing to me is for compensating or tweaking the sound quality of the 'phones, not the music.

                In my mercedes I tinker with the EQ, since I have upgraded the stereo, otherwise music can sometimes be slightly too much bass or treble.

                Outside of my car, I don't mess with the EQ, although I am the type of person who likes to.


                When I was younger we would always create a gradual v or u shape with the EQ during our raver days. Essentially high highs and high lows and lower mids. Not sure why, we all did that though .

                  That's basically what the "Rock" setting generally is and why I default to it. No more though...

                      I listen to mine with drink and drugs. And no EQing, obviously.

                        No EQ'ing generally.

                        That Techno Preset is stupid. Why not just have 3k set at -1db?
