EQs, short for equalisers, are really nifty things you can use to enhance the audio output from your speakers. You should generally keep the lows high, the mids low and the highs mid. 
This gives a really rich feeling to your sound, and when you compare it with non-EQ sound, you get the difference. Most music players come equipped with EQs, that you can customize. In fact, some sound cards, have software (Sound Managers) with EQs, so you can have a double EQ (like I do).
It’s very useful, when you have low-quality speakers. You may not get exactly what you want, but a substantial improvement is seen (or rather heard).
Your EQ should look something like this:
The numbers at the bottom refer to what frequency is being modified. Generally, when you move a slider, a gradient is formed, taking that frequency as an anchor point, and pulling along other frequencies around it, with it. The numbers on the left refer to what amplitude the frequencies are being modified. A positive amplitude enriches the frequency, and vice versa.
Although, people do say that EQs spoil the actual effect of the sound, as the composer had intended it to be, sometimes it is inevitable, with bad speakers.
Cheerio, then!

I prefer to keep it original, unless I need to tone down the highs on some instrumental pieces, or switch to bass mode for tracks I knows sound good with bass. Thing is, all songs have a different optimum setting, some sound awful on a setting anything other than normal. But then, with Typhoon, you’re forced to.
