Comments on Wavelet: headphone equalizer for Android
★★★★★giri kotte· Jun 12, 2026
Please consider a feature to even harmonics to the high end. I prefer to used bass compressor (bass tuner) to increase high-end presence, instead of eq-ing the sound. Similarly, adding even order harmonics can improve high-end presence without eq-ing. And adds pleasant airiness to the high end. Similar to bass tuner, allow specifying the low cutoff and the magnitude of harmonics to be added.

Wavelet is a game-changer for budget or unbalanced earphones. The equalization tools make it easy to correct high-pitched sharpness and bring out the bass that's usually missing. Highly recommended for anyone wanting more control over their mobile audio
★★★★★John Taber· Jun 20, 2026
Excellent Equalizer app. Makes my headphones sound awesome. Love the was I can taylor the sound to my liking or use a preset. Works well with my s26 ultra. Would highly recommend it.
★★★★★Aditya Vishwakarma· Jun 5, 2026
Such a great app!! Automatically differentiate between different Bluetooth devices and recalls the previous eq settings for it. Very helpful app, for me. Go for it 100%
★☆☆☆☆Arpit Shrivastava· May 28, 2026
The new update made it useless, it's not able to detect music sessions. Works only in Legacy Mode. Purchased pro for no gain.
★☆☆☆☆Josh G.· May 5, 2026
Doesn't work on Android 16 (Pixel 8). It cannot detect that music is playing on or through my phone. I tried everything. Aidl mode & legacy mode. Tried tweaking various developer settings. Wavelet sees "Android System" but not music playing. I think the android audio HAL is blocking it. Going to try ADB for DUMP permissions next. YouTube Music primarily but doesn't see files played on vlc either. I'll email you after work. Thank you.

It used to work like charm for my offline player but after the latest update it has stopped recognizing music playback and so it won't trigger. I have a paid version, now it's a waste.
