Definitions of iTunes equalizer settings?

Could someone provide the definitions or explain what the different equalizer settings mean?

Some are easily understood but others not.

I can not find any specific information on this in iTunes Help.

What's "best" is what sounds good to you.

Ideally, the settings get a flat range across the frequency band. However, there are many factors that affect the sound.


Acoustic music is generally mid range so that setting boosts the mid range.

R&B will usually boost the low/high ranges.

Vocals will boost the vocal ranges.


What sounds good to you may not sound good to someone else.
