What EQ Settings Are People Using?

As was suggested, I thought it might be helpful to ascertain what others have done. Taking a picture of the EQ screen, as set, may be best.

might have more responses placing this in the audio section?
Also likely already threads dealing with it there.

Well considering the fake engine and exhaust sound being piped in, maybe this is the right section? 😅

My current EQ settings. Not perfect, but OK until I take some more time to tweak it further. I find pushing the 5K and up bands any further than this makes it sound harsh. I also have B&W profile set to Concert, and surround set to the middle.

Here are how many notches each setting is adjusted. The value in brackets is the number from the actual [nominal] mid value (true zero), since when you adjust the bass and treble, the [relative] mid point within each grey box on each frequency changes.

Bass +5
100hz +5 (+9)
200hz +2 (+4)
500hz +1 (+1)
1khz 0 (0)
2khz +3 (+4)
5khz +5 (+7)
10khz +4 (+8)
Treble +5

Adding to this thread, although I'm thinking it'll die being posted in this section.

I changed from a Galaxy S20 to a Google Pixel 8 last weekend and found I needed to turn down the 10K band one notch (it was too crisps and clipping on some songs) and I was able to turn up 5K one notch to brighten the vocals a bit.

In saying that, it seems the phone plays a role in the overall sound profile. So my reference post is for a Galaxy S20, although I'd suspect most modern Samsung Galaxy phones will have a similar sound profile with the phone EQ set to flat.
