As an audiophile that forgets all his research after I make the purchase and set it up, I have no idea what you’re “supposed” to do. In my headphones I just listen to everything flat.
Home theaters literally need EQing, channel by channel, to get a flat response, however.
Typically speaking, you’d want to cut instead of boost. Cutting is easy; You just reduce the volume. Boosting is much more complicated, because you need to “add” signal where none exists. So boosts tend to be noisy and/or outright distorted, while cuts will maintain a clean audio signal.
Need to boost around 2KHz? Try cutting everything else instead.
Any real audiophile would never increase any frequency in an EQ. Got berated for that once
DSP? Analog EQ?

I hope this changes your life.
Thanks! I hope it does too.

What’s the problem with it, as long as it’s not clipping?
