Is this Spotify eq you mention exclusive to the app or is it using some system-wide built-in graphic eq?

In either instance, the easiest and most reliable way I'd say is to find some pink-noise on Spotify (if the eq is exclusive to the app and not something applied to every app capable of audio playback) and adjust the EQ so that it sounds as even as you can make it with what you have.

If there are treble spikes or too much bass, etc you will be able to hear it on pink noise and if pink noise sounds balanced so will music.

Wow never heard this way of adjusting EQ, I’ll try it now, thanks for recommendation. Btw, the EQ only works within Spotify cuz it’s the only streaming that I have beside Apple Music however I cannot adjust EQ on Apple Music

In that case, try something like this and try what I described above.

Yea I tried the same pink noise that you recommended and adjust it to my liking. Interestingly, the music sounds better if the pink noise is easy on my ears. However, once I turned down high frequency, I immediately recognized the loss in soundstage. Is it because Spotify EQ doesn’t work the same way with a system EQ or a proper app EQ? Thank you

More high frequency can increase the sense of soundstage, so yes turning it down can reduce that. It's a balance to get something that sounds good both tonally and with regard to soundstage.
