Reply to comment by FastGecko5 in Can using EQ damage headphones? by computerworlds

Room correction is equalization for a case where it’s actually required, because sound does bounce off walls and the designer of the amp and speakers can’t be expected to know where your walls are in relation to the speakers.

Same could be said for headphones then. The way treble interacts with our inner ear varies from person to person.

There's nothing wrong with a little EQ to make the tonality of your headphones better match your preferences.

And my initial point was that it's not helpful to just say "don't use EQ" to someone that's asking if EQ can be damaging to headphones, hence why I asked "how is it relevant?".
