I was thinking of posting in the tips and tricks section but I would have to make absolutely certain this is not my opinion alone. I think the "Rock" equalizer preset seems to spread across every genre quite brilliantly, contrary to popular belief that Megabass offers such versatility. In fact I find that Megabass sounds oversaturated sonically for both bass and treble, as though they're set at the wrong levels. Bear in mind I'm only referring to the equalizer settings for SE's UIQ3 phones. I find the rock preset's bass to be optimally full and the treble optimally suppressed making it suitable from hiphop/R&B to pop and raunchier stuff. I'm using the HPM-70 headset and don't feel the need for external headsets with the "Rock" preset. You can try it and share your opinion with us, what do you think is your favourite preset and why?

I also used "Rock" in my P990, delivered the most purest sond for me. ( with the HPM-70 ).
Just got the C902, the A200 platform have not "Rock" anymore ( at least the C902 hasn´t. ). Here I use manual, rock-settings

Don´t like the Mega Bass, like some bass, but its too much, and the treble is too weak for my taste.

Rock. If i could tweak it, i would lower the highs a bit, but otherwise its the one that suits me the best. Atleast on DS-970

@mode

First, I'd strongly recommend you to get a pair of decent headphones. I've used the hpm-70 myself for a while and thought that they deliver a good sound, but after switching to Sennheiser CX-300 I was astonished by how much detail, clarity and bass I was missing with the hpm-70.

It's really worth every cent I spent on it.

As for the eq settings, I usually use loudness as it seems to be the closest match to my favorite eq setting (v-curve), but I'd wish to adjust the frequencies manually, preferably with the option to save 2-3 of them.

is there any technical reason behind why there isnt any manual settings for eq? i'm sure there has to be, even K700 could do manual settings

Too bad SE dosn´t have a 3,5mm connection.
With a non SE headset you get one mile cable..

technically se have a nice lazy dev team. No eq on the w950/960 is inexcusable

@QVGA

I don't think that there is any technical or os dependent limitation, as Nokia phones running the same core os have this option.

And yeah, even the K700 had manual eq and was probably the last SE phone with this option (correct me if I'm wrong).

And now ?
Even the most advanced W-series phone of 2008 doesn't have it.


@Fredricx

Would be nice if they'd add a separate 3.5 mm jack, but telling the truth, I don't care much of its absence as there is an easy and cheap solution for that.

But I do care about the absence of manual eq, since there is no workaround for it.

what do you mean? the k700 isn't the last one with manual eq.
w800/w810 even k800 and k550 have manual eq.
