I don't use AutoEQ. The only EQ I use is Poweramp on my phone.

Is it that you can’t enjoy better sound quality using the iPhone? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
[–] ImVeryUnimaginative@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You don't have to use Bluetooth when using headphones with an iPhone. You can use a Lightning to 3.5mm connector.

Will I go deaf? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
[–] ImVeryUnimaginative@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, you won't go deaf, as long as you don't use audio products with the volume cranked up all the way. I've been using headphones, earbuds, and more recently IEMs for most of my life and I still have very good hearing.

Also, 16% volume's very quiet, you should turn up the volume so that it's loud enough for you to hear what you're listening to, but not so loud that you'd "blow your eardrums out."
