A good sound equalizer software?

Gat Pelsinger · January 8

Recently now that I am more involved into music and my earphone drama still continuous, I find myself toggling a lot of sound related switches in my OEM audio software. I am satisfied, but I think the audio could be even better if the right settings are used. Is there a good sound equalizer software or am I better with my OEM software? Do you guys not find yourself switching equalizer settings often? After all, no equalizer setting is good for every audio.

Edit - Sound is so weird and separate from digital. On my older earphones, I liked the audio from my newer laptop and hated on the older one, but with my newer ones, with the right sound settings, I probably think my older laptop sounds better but I think it's close. I hate that there is no standard way to define sound and audio quality between different machines.

Equalizer APO (with the Peace add-on) + AutoEq is what I've always used with fantastic results

If you want to jump into the deep end of EQ customisation then Oratory1990 is the guy to go to, here's a few links to his resources and presets for an unbelievable amount of headphones and IEM's index/list_of_presets - oratory1990 (reddit.com) index/faq - oratory1990 (reddit.com) reddit.com: search results - hardware recommendation

Have fun! EQ is kinda like sprinkles on ice cream, it can be an excellent compliment but excessive use tends to spoil things a bit, always happy to give Oratory traffic (he's a legend, his measurements and impressions are some of the most trustworthy out there)
