Yes. There is a custom EQ. Ranges are 80, 250, 1k, 4k, 13k HZ. With DB +12 to -12.

There is a custom setting on it. Being a fellow metal head I like my music loud and clear and make sure there is an equalizer

Yes. Aside from the 11 prest equalizer settings, there is twelveth one marked custom.The custom setting has only five "Sliders" but that is stil some adjustability.

It's maybe because of Asus's Audio Wizard. You should try these steps and see whether or not it'll work:1. Press the Asus Console button on the keyboard (the only blue button on the keyboard on the top right)2. You will see a panel shows many controls you can switch.3. Click the Audio Wizard panel (the purple one)4. You will see many equalizer options. 5. Click OFF to switch it off. It'll return to normal audio without any software interference. I had this kind of problem too when the volume got ridiculously loud. Hope this'll help :)

Just presets and then a Xtra Bass button that cranks the bass way up high. Seems to be fine. If more adjustment is needed it can be done on the iPod/iPhone.

If you use a good mp3 player with good eq then just about anything you listen to will sound good....keyword here is a GOOD EQUALIZER

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

There is no equalization adjustment. I would call the equalization "flat". Bass can be boosted a little by placing it in a corner.

The only way to add more bass is to have an mp3 player that has an equalizer that you can adjust the bass settings. my iPod has a good settings

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.

No it does not have an equalizer,but it does have a bass & treble adjuster to boost or subtract the sound the way you like it.

i think it's because the bass is too high on the headphones. I had to download a 3rd party sound equalizer to manually turn the reverb down.

get a music app (like poweramp) that has a really solid equalizer and tone controller

J.A. The Behringer Sonic Exciter SX3040 didn't make a difference in my opinion so I stuck with the equalizer

No, the custom EQ has: bass level - mid level - treeble level, think it needed an external equalizer for more options of EQ the sound.

Haven't used the pono, that said ak has a neutral mode (sounds fine), then 2 choices of equalizer, one a 5band manual, and second the one I use mostly is a preprogrammed pro equalizer (their term) which seems to almost always sound the best. pono probably a better value. It's hard to justify a grand for simply a file player, yes nice aesthetics, yes it holds a cr-- load of memory. A&K; could make file searching a bit easier but it looks like they are already on to new model$$$

I just purchased a seperate $30 or $40 pre-amp (if your not worried about having a equalizer on your amp). I do my equalization through my receiver. It really depends how fussy you are about the sound and where it would be easier to make the changes (it's easier usually to adjust the equalization on the receiver).

There is a known problem with the Custom EQ that causes one of the audio channels to drop. Try one of the other EQ settings. I found out about it at the Anything But IPoD Forums...lots of good information over there.
