Wavelet is an Android system-wide audio equalizer for adjusting headphone sound.
What Wavelet is
Wavelet is an Android system-wide audio equalizer for adjusting headphone sound. It includes more than 5,000 precalculated AutoEq profiles designed to compensate for headphone frequency response, plus a graphic equalizer with nine independently adjustable bands. Other tools include equal loudness, bass tuning, virtualizer, reverberation, attenuation, limiting, and left-right channel balance. Users can import custom AutoEq compensation data; AutoEq.app and Squig.link are listed as places to create it. Documented supported players include YouTube Music, Spotify, Plexamp, Samsung Music, and VLC for Android, although some need extra setup. TIDAL, SoundCloud, Amazon Music, YouTube, and several other players are listed as lacking audio-processing support. Bass boost is available only on Android 9, and experimental enhanced session detection is limited to Android 10 and later. Wavelet has a free plan; some features are paid through an in-app purchase or subscription, with purchases described as having no expiry. Its license permits personal, non-commercial use.
