What Wavelet is
Wavelet is an Android system-wide audio equalizer designed to adjust headphone sound, and it does not require root. Its AutoEq collection contains more than 5,000 headphone profiles, with an option to import custom compensation data. A graphic equalizer provides nine independently adjustable bands. Additional tools include equal loudness, bass boost, reverberation, virtualizer, bass tuner, attenuator, limiter, and channel balance. Documentation lists audio processing for players such as YouTube Music, Spotify, Plexamp, Samsung Music, and Podcast Addict, although some need extra setup. TIDAL, SoundCloud, Amazon Music, YouTube, and other listed players lack audio-processing support. Enhanced session detection is experimental, requires Android 10 or later, and needs DUMP permission. Wavelet has a free plan, while some features require an in-app purchase or subscription. The troubleshooting page describes an in-app purchase as a one-time purchase without expiry, saved to the user's Google account. The privacy policy says accessed data is not shared or retained; Google Play or Huawei AppGallery may provide anonymized statistics and crash logs without sensitive user data.
