Why not go 50/50 and enjoy both treble and bass?

Also that requires a headphone which has the most natural sound.
Heard sennheisers have most balanced/natural sound. I'll buy hd300's am I doing this right?

I've had MDR-V6s for a while and I'm very pleased with them.

You don't increase the bass and treble that much, as it will distort the music.

If you want some quality bass, then get higher-end full range speakers and a sub-woofer. Enter the world of audiophonics and you will NEVER go back to playing through those tin cans.

If you really want to mess with EQ Settings for rock music, then...

50-100 Hz boosts the kick drum.
500-3,000 Hz will boost your snare.
Cutting mid-range (while leaving your highs and lows relatively boosted) will help bring out your toms.

Boosting around 150 Hz will add heaviness to the guitar tone.
Depending on your guitar, pedal, and amp combo, you can get an annoying “honk” in the 1,000-2,000 Hz range. Lower these frequencies to smooth out your tone.
Boosting the guitar around 3,000 Hz will help it cut through the mix, especially on lead lines.
Boosting treble frequencies can create a distortion effect.

Therefore it's a slight V curve on the Equalizer settings.

That's a shame, then. I'd swear by them.

I don't think it matters too much. Pretty sure they're very similar. V6 is what I have, though.
