| Nonsense, Many EDM songs can benefit from tinkering around with the EQ, especially if you have good headphones plugged in tinkering around with the lower frequencies can do quite a bit . . . . Anywhom, I generally use Poweramp on Android since it has a bit more in the way of options than whatever the default program is as well as recognizes a much larger range of audio files. I usually don't tinker with the EQ since it changes from song to song and is a pain in the ass for very little gain (although some songs do benefit greatly from it imo, although still a pain in the ass) . . . I sometimes will just use the oversimplified EQ settings it has (i.e. a nob for boosting bass / treble) since that is a lot faster way to pretty much the same effect. |

Another EQ is unnecessary in my opinion idk, it might just be the earphones and headphones I'm using or the shitty presets the iPhone has |

Flume said: Presets for EQ rarely if ever work out well . . . Since A) They probably aren't well thought out and B) Don't address individual songs, but try and address a genre, as if that makes any sort of sense . . .

Another EQ is unnecessary in my opinion idk, it might just be the earphones and headphones I'm using or the shitty presets the iPhone has Although also having good headphones/speakers/etc. is probably a necessity since if you boost a frequency that your speakers have trouble producing (i.e. most lower-mid range speakers when you do any kind of "bass boosting"), they are going to sound "muddy" . . . However this is mostly* due to the speakers just being unable to handle a strong bass (It might be possible for higher frequencies to sound muddy on lower end speakers if you boost it however I don't think I have ever encountered a problem with anything but bass sounding muddy and that is only with bad speakers (like my crappy car's speakers)). Anyways, I would say that it is much better to tinker around with the EQ itself as opposed to presets (I remember trying the presets on my ipod . . . They were just bad) However . . . In all honesty, it makes it sound a bit better in some areas, but since you can't (or I haven't been able to find a way, not that I have looked at all) have it so that the program remembers how you set the EQ for each individual song, it is way too much of a pain in the ass to do unless you are bored |

| Stock player with Android plus an Oontz for public listening. I listen to spoken audio a lot, too, primarily the BBC World Service stream. I found that the phone's speaker (Galaxy S3) was better for that than the Oontz. I tried a couple of EQ apps for spoken material but didn't see much difference. |
| Android, PowerAmp, yes I have my equalizer settings. i'm only lacking good earphones :/ |
| I sync mine, I know u can download the songs for offline uses on some applications but that's too much hassle and it usually doesn't even support the songs I want. Earphone I use is the Jaybird Bluebuds X Bluetooth Earphones. |
| I use an app that caches YouTube videos. That's pretty much where I listen my music. |
| Google Play or the Music app on my Android. |
| I use earphones. |
 |
| I use iTube on my iPhone. With headphones. |
| I transfer my downloaded songs onto my android and hit on repeat, yeah! |
 |
| I use VLC for android. Seems to be one of the only players that can properly seek Matroska files, which is the container that I keep all of my music in. It's also free and open source, so if I really want a feature I can write it. |

| Spotify, I don't like to spend money but Spotify is really worth it |
| iTube. It allows me to cache Youtube videos and listen to them in the background. |

| I use a walkman with tapes...the REAL way to listen to music! |
| Well, I had a Nokia Navigator (4 year old), but it's slide broke (and I never called anyone anyway), so I started using it exclusively for music..... then the screen broke. I loved that damn phone, always had my back. My current phone (a Nokia E6, second-hand) can't support shit, so I can't play music on it since I can't use it for music while traveling. But in either case, I use the default player. Easy to use and the sounds are good enough. |
