The app itself is safe if sourced from a reputable community repository (e.g., the official XDA thread). However, general users should be cautious of random "download sites."
While most standard music players offer a 5 or 10-band graphic EQ, the Golden Mean APK provides a studio-grade 31-band parametric equalizer. This allows you to surgically adjust specific frequencies from 20Hz (sub-bass) to 20kHz (air frequencies). Advanced users can save custom presets for different genres, headphones, or room acoustics.
