Since I listen to a whole slew of things, I had to find a compromise that would suit everything. I ended up with an almost stock and neutral setting.

Bass: +1
Mid: +2
Treble: +1
Fade/Bal: -1/0

(each "point" is basically 1 notch on the slider on the touchscreen. That's actually 2 buttons presses to make it move a full notch).

I find that this is kind of that sweet spot between listening to music via USB or line-in, podcasts via Bluetooth, or sports or news radio (aka fuzzy, muted AM band stuff).

AM sports radio to listen to games is really soft and slightly muddy, so I have to boost the Mid in order to hear the voices better. This also helps with podcasts which are just pure vocals. Boosting the bass a little bit helps even out the increased mids; it prevents the mids from being too in-your-face. Increasing the treble helps boost up low quality podcasts as well as sports radio, while also improving a bit of the higher range stuff in music that's not produced in the front speakers.

Pushing the Fade back -1 is just my preference. I don't like loud music blaring in my ears. Pushing it back makes it feel a bit more balanced to me (i.e. front sounds equally as loud as the rear).

 

I listen to hip-hop, pop, and R&B, mostly through Bluetooth audio through my iPhone 6. I've played around with mine for the last year or so and these are my favorite settings:

Bass: +2
Mid: 0
Treble: +3
Fade: -3

 

Stock if that helps?[rofl]

it also depends on how loud you listen to music and type of music, for me stock happens to be the sweet spot. [wiggle]

 

Heavy music mostly, I go:

Bass +4
Mid +2
Treble +4

 

Depends on the the source. If I'm listening to HD radio the bass is normally higher, so I need to turn bass down, whilst if playing from spotify bluetooth with my phone, the bass needs increasing a few notches. I am still playing around with the settings.

In general comments, I like the stereo but I think it could have more clarity to it.
