Im not really happy with the sound of the preset eq's in the iphone. I have JB'd my phone and wondering if there are any apps to add better eq functionality for tunes..

Thanks in advance!

Make sure 'sound checks' is off! This usually makes your songs sound like utter crap.

yep confirmed sound check is off. Maybe I was just too used to my sony ericsson w810i....it had much better headphones and man, tunes on that thing sounded MINT!

I have never messed round with the EQ on my 3G, i find it drains the battery too much for the quality you get, becuase it obviously it has to alter every song you play slightly which must use some processing power.

hmm, the best sound I can get on it without changing to better earphones is setting it to "bass booster". Which to me is still blah, but better than stock.

I listen primarily to rock, metal, acoustic stuff etc, not really into any rapcrap, but have some old school stuff ;)
