![]() Especially when using an Android device and not a full-size audio stack. ![]() Having the benefits of a corrected frequency response is much greater than the (inaudible) distortion that comes with it in my opinion. A neutral sound signature turns out to be the generally most appreciated sound signature for headphones. This target is considered neutral and is developed to provide a standard to show how a headphone measures to simulate good speakers in a good (acoustic) room. ![]() In this majority of cases AutoEq offers a great solution to this problem by correcting the frequency response to the Harman target. And unfortunately there are many headphones that just don't measure that great. For example there's a 'house sound' that some audio companies apply, to make customers know that they're listening to a Sennheiser or a Beyerdynamic headphone, just to name a few. If this setup measures neutral, I don't think every audiophile would approve AutoEq or equalization in general, as applying signal processing might introduce audible distortion.īut in many cases, setups don't measure very neutral. To achieve this, you need a capable audio setup. "Most audiophiles strive to obtain a sound that reproduces their audio as true as possible. When we asked pittvandewitt how this feature would interest a regular user he said the following: There's a limiter allowing you to reduce dynamic range and a channel balance feature for when you find one channel playing too loud or if you just want to reduce the overall output volume. At the bottom, you can find the gain controls.There's a bass tuner option too to give your beats that little extra thump, or reduce bass if you're not a basshead. The effects section offers effects such as bass boost, virtualization, and reverberation.There's a 9 band graphical equalizer you can use to fine-tune the result or set up when your headphones don't appear to be available in the database.The graph visualizes the compensation applied. You can use AutoEq to equalize your headphones to the Harman standard.The main features of Wavelet mentioned in the app's accompanying XDA Forums thread are as follows: While the app is designed primarily for headphones, I've found its benefits extend to the phone's speakers and even my car's stereo over Bluetooth. Apps or mods that significantly improve the sound quality of your Android device often require root access, but that is not the case for Wavelet, an app developed by XDA Senior Member pittvandewitt.
