Even if there are different earphones, some earphones especially in the same model series could be quite similar in nature. So you can't say it won't sound good even if that guy has a totally different earphone since it might be similar in the way they were made.

It is true that you "can't say it won't sound good." But it is equally true that you can't say that it *will* sound good. That's the point.
You're suggesting that people share there EQ settings so that, for example, you can try my EQ settings, listen to them, and decide whether you like them. I think that Saratoga's point is that you can achieve exactly the same thing by trying your own EQ settings, listening to them, and deciding whether you like them. Getting my EQ settings provides you with nothing other than an aribitrary starting point for the process, but it is no better than any other arbitrary starting point.
dunno:
Hi-End HiFi systems dont have Equalizers, infact mention an equalizer to an pure Audiophile and you will be banished to the wilderness for 40 years, listening to music Live, or over a "good" HiFi system is nirvana, bliss, but I have heard some folks say, hey where's the bass when a particular piece of music is played, failing to realise that the artists intention was to record it bass light, but thats what those folks like lotsa bass, to each his own. It is nice to have EQ's to try and make a system Flat, not colour the sound, thats what I use the EQ for, I haven't touched my EQ settings since setting up, I don't adjust the bass or treble for every other song or type of music, my players freq response is to my ears flat/neutral. if I try another set of headphones I'll then use my reference music to try and attain a flat/neutral sound from the new phones as well, then leave it alone, flat is flat.
dunno:
and "Flat" frequency response doesn't imply the music if off,
Link below will endevour to explain what a Flat Frequency response is.

I've tried many times. If I had many different EQs to check from, I can easily see which one sounds the best to me and do minor adjustments to them.
However, if I do it from scratch, which I've tried umpteen times, I only end up making it sound weird.
And sigh guys, haven't we gone off the topic far enough?
Mikerman:
If you go to Misticriver.net's forums, you'll find a thread I started (under username Mike) under one of the Rockbox forums, entitled "Share your equalizer settings" or something like that. Â That thread also went off-topic, but some settings were posted and I think you'll find some of what you want--at least it's a start.
Sorry I don't have anything more philosophical to add.
;)
