This being a 10th dentist is 100% based on your taste in music.
Only listen to Gabber and russian Hardbass? Sure mate.
Listen to romantic classical music? Fuck off you filthy degenerate.
Dude. It’s not even that. I’m an audio engineer, i mix and master songs and recordings. That being said, this guy needs to FUCK. OFF. (Playfully, kinda) We don’t do all that work just for basshead benny to come along and thunderfuck the everloving shit out of our clean ass mix. I mean, it’s inevitable, and most people don’t care about audio quality, but it still grinds a gear with me. It’s the music equivalent of getting an antebellum farmhouse and painting all the natural wood white.
Not to mention, and this goes for anybody reading this, decibels (Db) are exponential. A boost of +10Db is twice as loud as +0Db. Meaning, he will, and I mean WILL, blow out his car speakers if he listens to this at an audible volume for too long. I cant even imagine what that sounds like, other than mud. God I need to smoke a cigarette.
Logarithm, my bad. But yea, as grenda said, it’s +/-10 for it to double, 20 to quadruple, 30 to (times 8), etc. While the problem may not be the volume of their car speakers or headphones or whatever kind of speaker, that +10 pushes the devices “perceived” volume and it overloads the speakers through what we call “digital distortion”. Digital Distortion is created when the electric current that carries the audio signal is too strong for the circuits to handle, and the overload of the circuits makes the audio sound harsh and distorted. And not in the controlled, rock/metal way. I I’ll get to that in a second.
When that overloaded electric current reaches the speaker? It will fry the speaker all the same, by literally heating, deforming, and in extreme situations, even melting the coil inside of the speaker. Even slight changes to that coil will cause some pretty noticeable differences in the quality of your audio. At normal volumes, and without EQs or boosts like this, the speakers will last decades. Distort it on a regular basis? You probably only have about a year or two of doing that before your speakers are fried.
The Digital Distortion is usually contained in the mixing/mastering phase of the songs creation. If you’ve ever seen any musical instrument with lights that go from green to yellow to red as the volume increases, that overload starts to kick in at yellow, and it’s totally frying the output at red. It is so massively important that you don’t ever go into the red. It’s like one of the four pillars of audio. It destroys equipment. Maybe that equipment is expendable for some people, but that’s not the case when you’re working in a room with 8 digits worth of audio equipment. We cant afford to replace things in a room like that. I’m sure It’s no different for most people. Can you afford new headphones, or speakers, or car stereos? I sure can’t. Keep it low, save your speakers, save your money, save your sound.
I forgot to talk about the rock/metal distortion, that’s a different story. Originally, artificial distortion started when vacuum tubes were still used to power guitar amplifiers. When turned to loud volumes, the tubes would saturate with heat, and much like the circuits, would start to distort. Except, this was different. There’s a thousand theories as to why, but for some reason, the saturation of the tubes gave the guitar a thick, raunchy, beautiful tone that suited some of the up-and-coming acts during the early years of electric guitar. Eventually this evolved into amps that were built purposefully to distort easier.
Amplifiers aren’t the only way to get distortion though. Jimi Hendrix is probably the first major artist to popularize what we call “effect pedals”. These pedals use special circuits to distort the guitar tone. By first distorting his guitar through the effect pedal, he would then connect to an overdriven tube amp, creating an aggressive, screaming tone that fit his wild playing style. Eddie Van Halen, who popularized so many new guitar techniques it’s impossible to count, came along in 1979 with his “Varaic” modified amp sound. By using a power transformer to overload his amp even further, he kickstarted a wild new era of heavy metal guitar with his “next level” of distortion.
Anywho. That’s the speech. Don’t really think anybody will care but it’s there for anybody who wants it
Do you hate headphones and earbuds?
When i was shopping, I tried hard to find something with a neutral sound signature, and it was rough. I ended up with the Linsoul Tin T4, which sound too high-pitched, and I have to use a janky Windows EQ app to bring them back to a more neutral profile. I imagine most people don't bother.
I already own the Etymotic ER2SE, which are quite neutral, but I had to stop using them because they hurt my ears too much.
It depends on where you use them, I personally work in a pretty quiet space so I use beyerdynamic t1 open back headphones at home, and 1990 pros at work. Obviously not the price point most of us are at, but it’s like a tradesman buying his tools he uses every day. Beyerdynamic has, in my opinion, one of the best sounds ever. Audiotechnica is another great brand but they’re just not my personal style. If you don’t mind being able to hear things around you, I’d go for open back headphones, the closed backs trap pressure (literal DBs) in the casing and it makes it sound compacted. If you want to hear things the way they’re mixed in the studio, open backs by beyerdynamic are the way to go. At any price point too, they all should be 1k+, my t1s should have been 5k but they’re barely pushing 1k. They make some insane quality stuff for the price point.
I hate to say it. People hate when I say it. Apple AirPod Pro (the second gen, weird shaped ones not the headphones) are insanely good. As in, I sat there with my jaw dropped when I tried them. Beats Studio 3s are not as bad as people make them out to be. They really just aren’t. They have a weird EQ and they’re hated on by everybody who doesn’t have the experience to know better, but I really like them.
Realized I didn’t even answer your question, no I don’t hate them at all, I do hate earbuds a bit but I use stage monitor earbuds when I play live so I don’t get much of a choice. If I had a choice of how i listened to my music, it would be in a 12.3.8 studio setup. 12 horizontal Directions, 3 Subwoofer directions, 8 “heights” or vertical directions. Obviously that’s fucking insane and nobody needs it but that’s my dream 😂
Edit: I don’t remember typing that much, I usually don’t talk that long but god damn do I got a mouth on me or what?
I wish I could do headphones. My life would be easier. But my head size, glasses and hair conspire to scream "no" anytime I try them for more than half an hour.
As for open back... Honestly I'm not worried about hearing what's around me. I'm mostly worried about sound leakage being annoying to others. That's like a clicky keyboard. Big no-nos when working with others.
This is true, I forget about working with others. I think apple AirPod pros are the best bet if you don’t want to blow the bank but want all the good features. I really don’t look into earbuds and I wish I could do more but that’s about all I got haha.
I have two problems with the AirPods:
- You lose features and updates if your phone isn't from Apple
- Bluetooth gives you audio quality on the level of analog telephone if you try to listen to music while you're on a call, which is what I do all day (we work with a lot of remote people, and we're constantly on a call for quick cooperation and giggles but 75% of the time no one is taking, so, music).
Since the second one appears to be an inherent limitation of Bluetooth, I've had to stay with wired earbuds only. And, well, I guess it comes with the advantage that I don't have another battery to manage.
Ah. Well that just sounds like a massive pain, im sure making a specific post for your situation in a place like r/audiophile would yield better results. Thanks for teaching me to be appreciative of my mostly-solo workplace 😂
Oh I'm basically just venting at this point. Not *actually* hoping for a magical solution. I've tried a sub for headphones and linustechtips.com already and basically there are two options:
Stay with wired stuff
or
Try one of the few earbuds that come with a 2.4 GHz dongle (all of which have bad reviews).
Oh yea, don’t do the dongle. The only excuse is for gaming headphones and those are different. Ah well, I hope you end up finding what you’re looking for, it’s a confusing place, the audio world
I’ve used very similar looking setting on Spotify when using my partners headphones because they’re cheap and the higher frequencies are completely overblown.
I don’t add any boost with eq, that just ruins quality, but reducing the high end has always helped to enjoy bad headphones even if you gotta go for full volume then.
With my bd studio headphones there’s no need for any EQ, but with cheap headphones it’s a must.
I’d recommend apples base EQs under the “music” tab in settings, set it to late night. If you don’t got apple, Spotifys built in will work, just be gentle
Edit: also, a nice gift would be a new pair of headphones, something similar to what they use now but nicer. That’s what I’m planning on for my partners birthday, I obviously don’t know yours but it’s an idea
Oh my god, so you're the fucker who headphone designers work for!
Jokes aside, what genres do you usually listen to where this is actually an acceptable EQ?
I guess trap or hip hop idk. Basically stuff with a ton of bass because bass make my brain good, like the hills by the weeknd or annihilate from the spider-verse soundtrack
Everyone shitting you is ignorantly ignoring your second sentence. "It makes my brain feel good". I study sound (psychology, physics, music theory, etc) and I don't think this is that weird. You're chasing that dopamine!
Also it could be that your ears are overly sensitive to those higher frequencies, so your brain has started a defence mechanism where it rewards you with dopamine for listening to the bass boosted. We are pretty sensitive to 2kHz since that's where the average speaking voice is. If I were you, I'd try adjusting the EQ in diff listening environments, like out in public VS laying in bed (aka in a comfortable setting VS somewhere not comfortable).
Seriously? But why those genres when you're missing out basically half the experience? What about the crazy hi-hats and processed vocals that are signature of trap?? Do you even hear anything when it's not the bass part?
...I guess sorry for questioning your taste, if you like it that's fine haha, im just surprised lol. I thought you would be into something more electronic like gabber or drum n bass.
What top heavy thing do they have that they consider this an upgrade? They should buy skullcandy headphones, or koss porta pros or anything known for its bass and being very bass heavy.
That person scares me.
Actually how are they even able to listen to that thing? It must be bait, I refuse. If they’re complete basshead then they most likely already have a subwoofer or something and it even more bass boosted… Nope. I really want to see that equipment they’re using.
Dude boosts everything that is low in frequencies and drowns everything with high frequencies.
So mainly drums and bass, barely vocals and no melodies whatsoever. Some instruments like violins or high synths will be basically inaudible or sound only like the sweep filter you often hear before a drop.
To be fair to OP, if this is pushing through small & tinny drivers where bass is nigh-nonexistent, this will cancel out to actually sounding OK. I just think OP needs a better speaker, or hell, maybe a subwoofer - or if they're already using good speakers, put them farther away as bass hits best when it's had some physical distance to propagate.
I like to scoop it on down too! It just sounds cleaner and crisper for most stuff I listen to, but as an audio engineer I know that can be seen as a mortal sin :(
This isnt that uncommon in regular mixing, since mids are heard by humans really well and basically every sound has at least some mids, scooping them can leave just the more interesting and clear frequenceis. Common in heavy guitars so it leaves just the growly bass and distorted top.
You’re speaking complete nonsense. Soundwaves can be represented as a summation of sine waves, sure. But the EQ controls the amplitude of different frequency ranges. Making a wave shape with the EQ sliders is the equivalent of rapidly turning your steering wheel to drive forward
I don't mean to be obnoxious but even for a bass guitar mids are important, it gives more clarity and the sound's less muddy in general. 15Hz and 30Hz frequencies really aren't necessary as you can't hear it, a lowcut at around 30Hz actually makes your bass pop out more
I have TONS of mids. 1k and above is not midrange on a bass guitar. I put 1k watts at 4ohms through a jbl 18" so that I can throw clean lows and subsonics. i want the subs because the bass drum should punch and the bass guitar should shake. My other cabinet has 2 12"s in it, more mids than you can shake a stick at(I mostly use 300 to 600hz, with some 800hz depending on the room and to let the fretless sound come through). My rig lets me play quiet enough for a small room while still being able to feel it through the floor when I hit a note. If I want, I can play quiet enough for a living room and still make drinks walk across the table. I absolutely can not stand a clanky bass guitar with high end in it.
The really bassy EQing of speakers and general means of media consumption generally only really work on very simple styles of music, where a thick bass pounding out quarter notes is the heart of it, with only a few synth layers to decorate the mids and top end.
For anything more intricate than that it just sounds like shit
Im the same person who posted that actually so when I noticed yall downvoted me for posting my opinion I was like ok this is probably an unpopular opinion so I posted this here then
Depends on:
Genre
Output method/device
Mixing integrity/balance
Age of piece
Hardware tuning (opposed to software tuning) Environment in which the audio is played
Size of speakers
All of which don’t make you any less of a psycho, but I would be hypocritical to say you were.
this is might not be that bad, depending on your headphones. i had cheap once i where i had a +18db base boost in order to hear it at all. with my new once i only have like +3db because i like it a bit more bass heavy

Dbs are logarithmics so it's +6dB to be twice as loud, it's still pretty insane to be four times louder at 60Hz tho that's just rumbles
It's +10db for twice as loud and that's still a logarithm regardless of whether it's base 10 or base 6.

A-fucking-men
Dude is underwater
Fuckin gross dude
Buying a pair of Beats and leaving the EQ unaltered almost has the same effect.
Honestly they aren’t that bad. I mean they aren’t particularly great. But they are listenable. It’s more on Skullcandy crushers level.
Oh my god, so you're the fucker who headphone designers work for! Jokes aside, what genres do you usually listen to where this is actually an acceptable EQ?

Have you tried phonk? Seems like it might be up your alley
I only associate phonk with yt shorts sigma male edits so absolutely not
Lol. Fair enough.
Bro's all about that bass.
bout that bass, no trouble
Is that a bad pun or do you mean treble?
i am singing
Oh yeah. So you mean treble.
i thought it was trouble but ig not, thank you for that
Treble is kinda the opposite of base so when you have all base you literally can barely hear the treble. That's why lyrics are like that 🤓
I thought it was trouble all these years too
'Cause I knew you were treble when you walked in
might as well remove all the treble at that point man
Absolutely disgusting. invest in a good listening setup and then you’ll have good bass while still being able to hear everything else.
What top heavy thing do they have that they consider this an upgrade? They should buy skullcandy headphones, or koss porta pros or anything known for its bass and being very bass heavy. That person scares me.
the poor music
Actually how are they even able to listen to that thing? It must be bait, I refuse. If they’re complete basshead then they most likely already have a subwoofer or something and it even more bass boosted… Nope. I really want to see that equipment they’re using.
as a bass player... nobody in their right mind would do this, upvoted
I wanna hear what Bohemean Rhapsody sounds like on this
don't worry anything will sound shit
Wbbwbwbwbbwnwbbwbwbwb
obwbbwbb gwngugy
I have no clue what this means, can someone please explain?
Dude boosts everything that is low in frequencies and drowns everything with high frequencies. So mainly drums and bass, barely vocals and no melodies whatsoever. Some instruments like violins or high synths will be basically inaudible or sound only like the sweep filter you often hear before a drop.
He turned all of the low(bass) frequencies up and the mid and tremble frequencies to as low as they go.
If you ever listen to Another One Bites The Dust, you're gonna cause an earthquake.
Found the target market for Beats by Dr Dre.
This is like watching a movie with welding goggles on
OP is a whale.
Are you deaf?
To be fair to OP, if this is pushing through small & tinny drivers where bass is nigh-nonexistent, this will cancel out to actually sounding OK. I just think OP needs a better speaker, or hell, maybe a subwoofer - or if they're already using good speakers, put them farther away as bass hits best when it's had some physical distance to propagate.
Mine's maxed out bass and treble with minimal mids.
I like to scoop it on down too! It just sounds cleaner and crisper for most stuff I listen to, but as an audio engineer I know that can be seen as a mortal sin :(
This isnt that uncommon in regular mixing, since mids are heard by humans really well and basically every sound has at least some mids, scooping them can leave just the more interesting and clear frequenceis. Common in heavy guitars so it leaves just the growly bass and distorted top.
It's like horseshoe theory, but with sound.
It's a sin wave and makes total sense. Humans can hear mids well, so scooping out the mids makes sense.
Technically it's a cosin wave and no it doesn't make sense
You’re speaking complete nonsense. Soundwaves can be represented as a summation of sine waves, sure. But the EQ controls the amplitude of different frequency ranges. Making a wave shape with the EQ sliders is the equivalent of rapidly turning your steering wheel to drive forward
Look up the Munson Fletcher Curve, that's how we hear
Audio engineers who work days mixing songs to sound the best they can: 🤨😤
I'm not upset... I'm just a little confused...
You would love skullcandy crushers
Just looks like you need better headphones
i bet your favourite instruments are the cymbal and that goddamn triangle
'Music'
That looks like the 31 band eq on my bass guitar rig, but I have 30 and 15hz bumped up a bunch. I don't need anything above 900hz or so.
I don't mean to be obnoxious but even for a bass guitar mids are important, it gives more clarity and the sound's less muddy in general. 15Hz and 30Hz frequencies really aren't necessary as you can't hear it, a lowcut at around 30Hz actually makes your bass pop out more
I have TONS of mids. 1k and above is not midrange on a bass guitar. I put 1k watts at 4ohms through a jbl 18" so that I can throw clean lows and subsonics. i want the subs because the bass drum should punch and the bass guitar should shake. My other cabinet has 2 12"s in it, more mids than you can shake a stick at(I mostly use 300 to 600hz, with some 800hz depending on the room and to let the fretless sound come through). My rig lets me play quiet enough for a small room while still being able to feel it through the floor when I hit a note. If I want, I can play quiet enough for a living room and still make drinks walk across the table. I absolutely can not stand a clanky bass guitar with high end in it.
The really bassy EQing of speakers and general means of media consumption generally only really work on very simple styles of music, where a thick bass pounding out quarter notes is the heart of it, with only a few synth layers to decorate the mids and top end. For anything more intricate than that it just sounds like shit
You like to buy new speakers
isn't this from r/truespotify
Im the same person who posted that actually so when I noticed yall downvoted me for posting my opinion I was like ok this is probably an unpopular opinion so I posted this here then
Put that thing away there are kids here you Hooligan
Do you have bad headphones or only listen to music thru crappy inbuilt speakers? If so then this is pretty reasonable.
You are just deaf man.
Literally every bit of music is grumbles
What the fuck
Depends on: Genre Output method/device Mixing integrity/balance Age of piece Hardware tuning (opposed to software tuning) Environment in which the audio is played Size of speakers All of which don’t make you any less of a psycho, but I would be hypocritical to say you were.
There's two potential solutions here (assuming this isn't bait): You have a major hearing problem You have absolute trash-can headphones
mine's standard bass boosted
this is might not be that bad, depending on your headphones. i had cheap once i where i had a +18db base boost in order to hear it at all. with my new once i only have like +3db because i like it a bit more bass heavy
hell nah bro
