Best Sound Equalizer Settings

[Kerrie Gingrich]

Samsungkills dynamic range from the factory. You want REAL sound quality ? Take every frequency band and move it down -2db across the board. This will bring back your dynamic range, this was already thoroughly tested and proven on the s9 and s10. Probably still applies.

Oh woww. Thank you so much for sharing. I am using samsung galaxy a52 and was searching for the best equlizer setting for my phone since it doesn't sound good to me. Now my sound feels more alive thanks to this!!

You can have a setting that makes your music sound the way you like it, or a setting that compensates for the particular response curves of your own equipment (phone, output method, speaker/headset/amp, etc). But that "best" setting will be different for every individual.

There's no point in posting your poweramp settings file as that contains ALL of your settings, not just EQ values. If you really feel the need to share your personal EQ preferences, a screenshot would perhaps be more useful? (Try landscape if you have a lot of EQ bands enabled)

Maybe I'm late to reply, but as Andre said, there are no such a thing as best EQ preset. It varies between the sound playback device you are using, personal preferences, as well as the song itself. Some song requires me to use a special preset for them alone because my universal preset doesn't do much justice.

You can try mine, a heavily modified techno preset. My goal was to add some kicks and make it sharper while keeping the balance of the songs (bass kicks, but not too heavy, trebles crisps but not too harsh, small details and voices to pop in lossless songs) with my device as listed while using a few lossless songs as references.

I used JBL Tune T500BT to do this. This preset is far from best, and works best only on 82% of my songs. While this make all my song feels better for my ears, it's not the best for other 18% (which better with their own custom song EQ, ex, some song has lower bass than standard and need more kicks, or the song technically is so loud by default so need to be toned down). Since this also made with that device, it may not work best for your sound device too, but give it a try. I think at least this going to be better than flat.

Just as a note to add to this by the way, it's now possible to use Export Settings/Data to save just specific elements from your setup, one of the options being EQ. But the json file from the EQ screen does that fine too for a specific EQ setting.

The problem is what might sound good to me might sound horrible to you. Only you know what you like. That being said, I can post a link to a couple of my thread where I posted pictures of my EQ settings. As soon as I get back home.

My laptop- HP Dv7 Envy with Windows 8.1 (purchaed in late 2012). If your laptop is newer and thus has a diffrent version of Beats, then i'm sorry but i'm not rich enough to keep up with new computers.

first off, use the Beats Audio EQ, its there for a reason. to get to it, just search for HP beats audio control panel. you may want to add a shortcut on you desktop for easy access. click on equalization under speakers and headphones. now here is where your personal preference takes note, i tuned my eq to best compliment every type of music i listen to (dance, rock, hip-hop, classical, scores, and vocal) depending on what type of music you listen to, you will adjust the raise or lower the Db according to the Hz's. as a rule, the lower the Hz's, the more bass is played and the higher the Hz's, the more vocals/ highs are played. Subsequently, knowing what Hz's affect the notes in a song also helps. 31-62 Hz's are bass. 125-250 bass/mid. 500-KHz are where most vocals are heard. 12-15khz is where most notes to high to clearly hear are played.

your computer has a different setting than that of beats audio, as such you may want to address it too. search for sound, click on speakers and headphones and select properties. tone should be 4 bass and 4 treble. now enhancements. they are all off and include bass boost, virtual surround, room correction, and loudness eq. in my opinion, they should all stay off. bass boost adds bass, but severely sacrifices clarity and vocals. virtual surround and room correction don't do much, and loudness eq raises and lowers volume depending on the song playing. it makes one song louder and clearer, then diminishes the next and muffles it. its very inconstant and as such should stay off. as for any questions regarding Shared and Exclusive Mode (in the advanced section of speaker and headphones property) read message 29 for answers.

If you are like me, you use itunes to listen to music. Subsequently, it also has an eq. first, click on edit and select preferences, then playback. turn on sound enhancer, it helps slightly, and leave it in the middle. now the itunes eq can stay where it is. it does not enhance the music that much to really worry about it, but you can tweak it if you wish, just leave the markers close to 0db and adjust it by 1db or less. also be aware that itunes has a slight eq delay. Update* after using the itunes eq extensively, i just recommend you don't adjust it at all, using two eq's on your computer can lead to undesired effects and be a general headache as you have to adjust one every time you adjust the other. also itunes eq just happens to suck so don't use it when you have the Beats Audio eq instead. Infact, dont adjust any EQ settings for any media player you use; It just makes things to complicated

A good music setting does not necessarily make music louder. it makes it clearer, it brings out the vocals while helping all individual instruments shine, instead of clumping them together. when every instrument is heard, every vocal is prominent, bass is complimentary, and they all work together, you have achieved true music. the Beats Audio chip does enhance music as long as your willing to be patient enough to tweak it, and in my opinion, computers with the Beat Audio chip are an excellent advancement in music listening experience. also every question is sent directly to my email so i can respond in a timely manner, if you have a question, just ask.

While the Beats Audio chip allows for music to be precisely tuned for maximum clearity and bass reproduction, the HP speakers that come with the notebooks unfortunately are not as refined. many will tell you that listening to music from the notebook speakers is rather terrible, and that's true. for whatever reason, HP did not put as much emphasis on the speaker quality as they did on the Beats audio chip. to truly enjoy music from your laptop you need external speakers. i have a nice home theater setup in my home, and as such, most music is played through external speakers with the help of a receiver. also you want to get a nice set of headphones. the beats audio headphones are very expensive, so you might want to go with an alternate set of headphones (especially after shelling out the money for a new laptop).

the speakers that come with the notebooks are terrible, so you need some good headphones and/or an external speaker setup. however, if you wish to listen to music through the notebook speakers, you will have to completely reset and redo all the equalizer setting. if you want me to publish another message with a notebook speaker EQ setting, then just send me a message

Thanks so much! Yes, the built-in speakers are something to be desired, but your suggestion actually did make them sound better. If you have built-in speaker EQ suggestions, I would love to try them out.

Coincidentally, I tried using my Bose QC-15 headphones on my Envy17-3D, and now I have a new issue, for which I hope you may have some insight. I am getting a hissing sound when I listen to iTunes and other audio through the headphones, and turning off the mic and adjusting the sound mixer, etc, does not eliminate it. Have you experienced this? And if so, what have you done to resolve this issue? On another website, one person suggested getting an airplane sound attenuator, but I am not sure if this is the best direction.

I have a dv7-4060 laptop with beats audio. One thing I have noticed playing the same song, is that the sound comes out better through the hp media smart, than with iTunes. My sound enhancer is on with iTunes and I had made the adjustments that you recommended. My preference is using itunes, because of the setup and I am more familiar with it. Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance.

well, if your sure that all music sounds better from hp media smart, then your itunes settings maybe a little off. After some tuning, i found that the itunes eq settings are not that in depth, in fact, i say you don't really need to touch it since the eq is unnaturally sensitive and also a bit off when it comes to Hz's, im sure that the eq, is not something Apple, cares or worries about, so they just made a sorry excuse for one and never bothered to really enhance it in anyway. my only advice is that if media smart plays all your songs distinctively better, then use it, if your willing to give itunes another chance, reset the eq and enhancements on itunes back to original, and use Beats audio as you only eq. also if its just one song that sounds better, it really could just be that one song, maybe its quality, size, frequency range and more

While most people will simply flip on the radio or load up Spotify to listen to music, audiophiles like to dig a bit deeper and customize their experience. This often comes in the form of adjustments to the equalizer, which offers the freedom to tweak every aspect of the sound booming out of headphones or speakers. Even some streaming services now have built-in EQs, giving you more ways than ever to play with your music and find something that best fits your ears.
