Defaults unless you're trying to EQ your headphones/speakers.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say...   If you like it without EQ, don't use EQ.   And, the EQ shouldn't do anything when set to flat, so it depends on how you set it.

In a perfect world you wouldn't need EQ, and those headphones have a very good reputation so I'm sure plenty of people listen to them without EQ.    If you want more bass you can boost the bass with EQ.

There's one thing to watch out for...   When you boost anything you can potentially go over 0dB and clip (distort) the audio.   So, if you boost with EQ you generally need to reduce the digital volume.   Then, it's OK to crank-up the analog volume as long as you don't clip your amplifier.   

The VLC volume control also goes over 100%, so be careful with it too.
