Ever since I saw this in that Mac OS X Hints article, I’ve used it as my default equalizer in iTunes – it seems to give a nice pop to MP3 tracks in particular.

You might want to give SRS iWow a try. I was really surprised by how much it really seemed to improve the audio I was listening to, and it comes with different presets for using laptop speakers, headphones, and bigger speakers.
