Hi all,
I recently bought a new HP ENVY DV6-7214nr. I'm loving it and will post a review on it when I've had it for about 2 1/2 to 3 months. Anyway, it has Beats Audio, as all new HP models do, and I was messing with some of the EQ settings trying to find what worked best for me. I was hoping some people could help me out here. I'm looking for a EQ setting geared mostly towards listening through the laptop speakers only, but won't sound terrible on a pair of earbuds. For the type of music I'll be using them to listen to here's a list of some of my favorite bands to play and some various genres I like the most:
Artists:
Linkin Park
Papa Roach
Eminem
Skrillex
Avenged Sevenfold
Sick Puppies
Soundgarden
Audioslave
Metallica
Disturbed
Enrique Iglesias
Genres:
Metal
Rock/Hard Rock
Pop
Hip-Hop/Rap
Dubstep
Nu Metal
R&B
So thats some of the stuff I'd be running through the proposed settings, so you now have a feel for what kind of music the EQ should be geared towards. I will say, I know I have a humongous varied taste in music (I like just about everything and Country is my least favorite). But I was just wanting some input on how I could make my EQ work better with my type of music on these speakers. I'm currently getting a slight static-ey sound when heavier music plays, like "Burn It Down" from Five Finger Death Punch and "Waiting For The End To Come" from Linkin Park. I would like some help on how to fix that as well.
Right now, here's my set-up:
Bass: 80
Treble: 70
Center: 50
Space: 0
Focus: 50
65Hz: 0
125Hz: -5
250Hz: 10
500Hz: 0
1Khz: 0
3Khz: 10
6Khz: 10
9Khz: 0
12Khz: 10
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
