Resolved! Not sure why so many people are anti EQ not hard to get in to and improves pretty much any headphone to your preference.
Great work Andrew!

I know people will hate me for this but I think APO's Interface is much cleaner than Peace. After a while of using APO without Peace i can only say that I never looked back. Ohh and similar option for Android would be Poweramp Equalizer, which gives you a full blow parametric EQ without root.

Only time I tried eq was when I had no idea what I was doing and of course I ran into awful clipping issues like you stated. I'm taking some time to each myself how to do it because it really seems like a fun tool to just play around with. I ordered the XS and I'm looking forward to trying out the tuning you shared here. Thank you so much for all of this!

Excellent video resolve.
Volume matching while EQing is such a crucial part. Very few tutorials mention that.

this is the first time in a while a video left me with no unanswered questions. thank you

I EQed my 4XX and it went from just ok to incredibly satisfying.

20:00 - for A/B testing with EQ on or off.. I do it by creating another EQ preset with flattened presets with same pre amp - 'Edition XS flat' where all sliders are 0 but the pre amp is set to the same -4... That way it is perfectly volume matched. Probably the same thing setting the digital volume but I'm used to clicking on the 2 presets to A/B test them vs setting it On or Off

Maybe someone has said it in a comment some time ago, but in case it hasn't been said, for anyone coming here now: the restart of the PC is no longer required after enabling EqualizerAPO for a new device.

I like the way you explain the basics of EQ-ing, especially the pitfalls. Good video.

VERY GOOD explanations and tips. Thank you for making this vid it really helps to understand proper EQ'ing and I can't wait to try some adjustments :- )

A good way to check whether or not you want to get into EQ is by using Oratory1990âs presets, which aim for the Harman target. The Harman target isnât everyoneâs cup of tea but itâs the âmost preferredâ natural sound for a majority of people, and Oratory1990 has a massive list of EQ presets for different headphones to push them to the Harman target.
If you try the preset and feel it sounds better, you can really get into EQâing from there. If you think it doesnât sound any better, maybe donât get into it.

Thanks Andrew- so much appreciated!

Thank you for making this video. Very helpful

Thank you for this video. I'm a total noob in the headphone world, just brought my hd 560s. I did my initial search on reddit, but the audiophile posts were frankly a bit overwhelming and seldom helpful for a beginner. This tutorial helped me tailor the sound more to my preferences.

Tiny extra tip: The Peace GUI (shown here) has the "Effects" section. I recommend at least playing around with the crossfeed options. Some music can sound weird on headphones if they are panned very strongly left and right for the different instruments. Especially older rock, blues, country etc. was often mixed with speakers in mind, and with speakers the sound radiates around the room, naturally reaching both your ears. With headphones that doesn't happen, and you might hear this as an extreme stereo effect. Playing around with crossfeed options lets you manually "bleed" some sound between the earcups, which can lead to a much more natural feeling.
The Peace GUI Effects section has some manual crossfeed options, but I've just used the Jan Meier crossfeed filter option which sounds the most natural to my ears.

The new intro looks greatđ

eqMAC does seems to work wonderfully. Generally the Presets for different headphones really enhance the sound, and even if I am not satisfied, I can generally work from those as a starting point to tweak.

Wow I definitely learned something I didn't know here! Thanks!

Thank you for making this tutorial! I tried EQing my Edition XS and was finally to fill a "hole" in the sound. It sounds so much more pleasant and easier to listen. I always felt like there was a gap in the low end that couldnt be filled. Now it's properly scratching my itch in that spot!
