Reply to comment by computerworlds in Can using EQ damage headphones? by computerworlds

Nothing in the headphones

But try to keep your sessions at normal levels or your ears may develop Tinnitus. Quiet environments, good isolation, or noise cancelling are better ways to improve your listening experience than turning the volume up.

Also remember, good equalization is about turning the annoying frequencies down, not pumping the good ones up.

Came here to say this but I would leave noise canceling off the list because that is completely subjective and in its current state goes the opposite direction. Sure if I’m on a plane it would make things better but in my quite listening room forget about it. That is probably what you meant but I just wanted to clarify.

Yes, I included noise cancelling because it can be necessary for some people when traveling or at work. But I don't even own NC headphones, fortunately I'm the noisiest guy in the building and my home office is pretty well insulated.
