Don’t be scared of EQ in the playback chain, just look at the amount of EQ & processing done during mixing!!

To add warmth, try boosting with a wide bell at 80 Hz. Just be careful—boosting too much in this area can quickly eat up your headroom or even cause distortion.

If the track feels a little boxy, I’ll make a small cut at 160 Hz or 320 Hz. This can help bring clarity to busy mixes. If you notice that the track feels weak or thin, try boosting at 320 Hz to add body. Just be careful as too much in this range can make your mix sound muddy.

To add presence to vocals, snare drums and guitars, try boosting around 3 - 7 kHz. This can help give transients more bite and attitude.

There is a general ‘rule’ repeated by many mastering engineers that states that one shouldn't make boosts or cuts greater than 3 dB.
Another ‘rule’ is to keep the Q’s wide rather than pushing or cutting resonant frequencies.
