One can do similar things with JamesDSP on Android. I believe there are ways to do it without root nowadays. Also you'd be able to find flattening eq curves for your headphone on GitHub and other places. I'll find the link if anybody is interested. This fixes artificially bass heavy headphones pretty well.

If your headphone has already been measured, https://autoeq.app is your friend.

Thank you for mentioning AutoEQ, I didn't know about it and it looks like a great resource :)

I wonder why laptops don't come with an internal speaker DSP profile loaded onto the EEPROM. This seems like one of those things that you really just want to do in firmware.

IEMs and headphones come EQed out of the factory AFAIK, but apparently quite poorly. I ran the autoEQ profile on my Moondrop Aria beater IEMs and it both cut through the muddiness and opened up the soundstage quite dramatically.
