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!

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

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!

Excellent video resolve. Volume matching while EQing is such a crucial part. Very few tutorials mention that.
-
I like the way you explain the basics of EQ-ing, especially the pitfalls. Good video.
-
I EQed my 4XX and it went from just ok to incredibly satisfying.

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.

Thank you for such an informative video.

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.

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.

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
