[Question] Equalizer for Android - General Questions and Answers

I was wondering if anybody found an Equalizer for android by now.
Would love to fine tune the sound of the song on my phone!

Yes interested in this too, love to be able to adjust the stereo balance, seem to be going slightly deaf in one ear.

The only thing I'm aware of is meltus' audio hack. It replaces the equalizer with one for higher volume, but he's released a few and suggests which work best for certain genres. I know it's not quite what you're looking for but you might find it useful. This does require a rooted phone.

I have seen two or three eq in the app store, but I am not sure if its available in your local.

A bit late, but I know this has been bugging me, so incase anyone else comes here looking, Astro Player does have equalizer (don't forget to check 'use equalizer' at the top before using the sliders). app is free with ads, $3 without them.

My Milestone has an builtin app to set the equaliser type like Bass Extreme, Bass Punch, etc. the bass is actually greatly enhanced!

Tell us more about this app. What is it's name for example?

I'm reviving this thread in the hopes that someone knows of an app that will allow me to balance the left and right channels on all stereo sound coming from the headphone jack. Failing that, any music/video player that has a balance control would be great.
Anyone know of one?
Thanks!

Bought the pay version but couldn't find the left /right balance control. Is it In the EQ area?

CyanogenMod 6 has a built in app called "DSP Manager" that lets you set EQ and dynamics (compression) for 3 profiles: headset, phone speaker and bluetooth.
I haven't really tested it but it looks pretty impressive. I'm not sure if it's available outside of CM6 or not.

Not sure if this helps being new to this. I tried audioplayerwitheq platinum on the HTC Desire which gives eq plus seperate left and right volume ajustment. Not the friendliest player though. Anyone know of a better one? Hope this helps you dc41

i hope someone port AudioBooster (WM) for Android

Been a while..
Still looking for a standalone equalizer for android.
i do see more and more players with build in eq. but i am now using the one from fede, which does not (yet?) have one.
i did find one eq, but it was for 2.3 only..
and i still use 2.2 on my dhd.

Player Pro has an equalizer so does PowerAMP
Not sure about stand alone, sorry :|

PowerAmp is a nice app.

Boostaroo is a decent headphone inline amplifier I use in my rigged aux in for my car... SRSWow would be the plugin I recommend for Android development most (currently on my Fuze).. It clears the mids and provides better seperation and clarity.
SRSWOW FTW!

sorry guys those files r not compatible with the supersonic.i tried the beta half of the screen was missing.lookin forward to a 100% working audio tweaks for the supersonic hopefully someday.
check out astro player. there's a file, in the nexus forums i believe. it has an equalizer, definitely helps for mp3s. it's subtle, but it's something. i may also check out the modified sound files vinny posted (his 2nd link).
I wonder if we could improve the audio quality by combining the kernel source from this thread: {KERNEL-SOURCE} GoDmOdE-EVO-2.6.29 {Make Shift Kernel} http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686240&page=7

[musicplayer] neutron player

Hi guys, any audiophiles here like me?
This music player has terrible interface. Basic functions doesn't work too well. BUT!!!
OMG the sound quality of this player is mind blowing. I really mean it. SGS and voodoo is known for it's SQ. However, despite it sounds clear, the sounds is not precise and out of place by an inch. Was a voodoo + equalizer app + poweramp fan and still am cuz of interface but i can forsee an android music player to better poweramp! Assuming this music player gets developed nicely. Give it a try guys and if you like the SQ, show dev some support just by rating etc.

does indeed sound good but I feel Power Amp sounds just as good as it. both these sound better than Winamp and Ttpod but jt is just so ugly and unresponsivd too. button presses most times dont work, setting up a playlist on first start sucks as it just does not acction button presses and if you minimise program then go back to it it changes song automatically. good sound quality though, sorry,only positive i can think of. using Xperia MiUi 2.2.1

I suppose sound is very subjective and also depends on the headphones you use as well the phone you use. On SGS, neutron definitely widens soundstage with better sound separation whilst keeping the sound crisp and clear. Sure poweramp is clear but the sound is everywhere. Also with that filtering of highest frequency on neutron, the sound feels very calm to listen to as well as having the "fun" sound from general boost the app gives to SQ.
However as you said and as i said on OP sq is the only pro atm but any audiophiles would (or should ) use it just for that reason like i do

will give this another try i guess, was happy with the sound, using earphones that came with my old Sony. Ericsson w980, very strong sound from them. sound is great from the player but to purchase would be nice to know there is refinement of the ui planned. cheers
Another "good sound, bad UI" app is Rockbox. It has not been announced as "useable" yet, but many reports that it works fine. And I think it has more sound tweaking features than Neutron. It would be interesting to hear an audiophiles comparison between these two.

That UI needs to be sorted seriously... sadly i have no idea whether the dev is looking for ui update.

Built in Equalizer

Not sure if this is old news to everyone else, but I just stumbled across it (a month later) But the default music player has a built in equalizer. If you press the menu button while the app is open and tap settings it's there. You can also turn on a little visualization. Like I said not sure if everyone else knows this , but it's kinda cool.

Lol, good I don't feel so bad now. I just purchased these little IHome speakers http://www.ihomeaudio.com/iHM60GX/ and they sound really good when you adjust the EQ!

I agree with Corvette Dave. I purchased the HU in my truck for the USB port but I actually use my phone and the AUX port more. The infuse with voodoo sound sounds great with the stock player.

Yeah, products seldom ship with hardcopy manuals anymore. You have to download it from the product page (which the forum isn't letting me link to, but just Google "infuse manual").

Equalizer

What's an equalizer that will apply to everything that plays music?
Like the beats preset does from stock. I know there are some music players on the market that have eq's built in, but don't they just apply to the music that is being played through that particular app while it's running.
I want an eq that will apply to the core settings that will apply to like pandora when it's streaming.
Any suggestions? And am I even making sense?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Only ones I know are Beats for Sense or DSP Manager for AOSP based ROMS.
Maybe Sony xLoud?
Sent from my HTC One X
you are making sense. I'm in true same boat as you. Beats and sony xloud are really just custom equalized settings; that are un-adjustable by the end user.
Prior to my hox, i had the galaxy s, s2, note and nexus. All rooted and all with dsp manager installed. I'm very particular about my eq and max volume settings.
The issue is that dsp manager currently does not work on the hox; neither do apps like volume+. Its unfortunate because the headphone volume on this device is poor at best.
I'm not sure if its working on a stock ics rom, like aokp, but i doubt it. I think it's a kernel related issue and there currently is no source code released yet.

I've been a big fan and user of the paid version of Equalizer for over a year but I just installed DSP Manager and I must say it improves sound quality and bass more than Equalizer ever did. This version works on the HOX (stock & aosp). Listening to Slacker Radio sounds just as good as my iPod now.

So when you make your sound settings on dsp, then it applies to anything that comes out as sound?
Just want to make sure, I've seen people suggest music players in the past with a built on eq, the problem with those is that it only equalizes the sound playing through that player and not things like pandora or anything that streams. I like beats because it pops up and shows you its active, I want something like that but that's customizable / adjustable.

best audio enhancer? [beats/dsp]

which one do you have a better experience with?
i'm currently running aokp's jb build4... any help would be appreciated.
also, links to working versions? i found the beats xda thread, but i cant find anything substantial on a jellybean version of dsp.
i've also heard that beats only works w/ certain apps while dsp is across the board?
thanks

DSP. Beats is quick an easy, but you can't fine tune like you can with DSPManager.
Just download any CM rom and extract DSPManager.
I'll skip the Beats gimmick and stick with direct audio output from VooDoo Sound thank you very much.

DSPManager is good to compensate for somewhat subpar speakers/headphones though. You know, like most portable headphones that people buy. =)

DSP seems to be the standard in most custom ROMS. Voodoo gives color control but is for more advanced users. I find Beats to be more for the person who uses there phone as their iPod with fancy high dollar headphones.

Fortunately, if you use euroskank roms or slim roms they will have voodoo settings integrated into the DSPManager, as long as the kernel supported it as well.

Unfortunately, poweramp doesn't, and I assume other 3rd party players don't either. But that's not a big problem here in Canada, where Google music isn't really supported
