Reply to comment by Leidanav in Am I a bass-head? by Leidanav

My advice is to apply one of them AutoEq first and decide on the bass low-shelf. Makes things much easier. I mean even expensive headsets/earbud/IEMs sometimes do some crazy roller coaster ride through the frequencies. @.@...

That's what I usually do start with, but my ears are odd enough that I have pretty wild peaks and dips that I don't see on others' measurements and charts. I can live just fine on AutoEQ/Crinacle's PEQ files on IEMs, though, so my ear canals must be okay.

Ok in that case find one of those frequency sweep sounds on youtube or other places and listen with AutoEq applied. If you notice an area that bothers you you can adjust AutoEq by adding parametric Eqs.

I'm using MathAudio Headphone EQ to use a user-controllable sine sweep to go and map out my EQ's.

Maybe I worded my post wrong. I've targeted my headphones to sound good to me, so I'm not looking to improve my EQ. All I wanted to know was if the amount of bass shelf I'm using is abnormal compared to others.

Short answer, YES. If you are happy with your eq. I suppose it's your decision. All I am saying about those AutoEq things is that they use a well established target and makes life easier when dialing in your own Eq. I thought I could do it by ear too at first but really I go no where in my experience.
