Compared to other EQ options like
Bass Booster Equalizer
or
Extra Volume Booster Equalizer
, the Wavelet: headphone specific EQ app comes with
thousands of sound presets
based on model-specific headphones from various brands that have been
optimized and tuned
based on a specific sound target curve.
Auto-tuned
Using an equalizer is one of the easiest ways to change the sound of your headphones if you don't like their
default tuning
. There's debate among audiophiles when it comes to neutrality and hearing music as it was intended by their creators. That's why
reference sound curves
are highly regarded in their community to get as close as possible to an "uncolored" or "flat" sound signature.
In comes the Wavelet: headphone specific EQ, an app born out of the popular
AutoEQ Project
that aims to make it easier for you to tune your headphones to sound neutral, with the
Harman Target Curve
as its reference point. As of this writing, it hosts a database of
over 5,000 presets
for popular models and brands that you can immediately apply.
There's still a nine-band EQ for manual tuning, as well as additional
Limiter and Channel Balance
functions. Wavelet also has an
optional Pro version
that will unlock more features, namely a volume normalizer, enhanced bass tuner, and the option to add spatial and reverb effects. One thing that should be addressed in the future is that the app would
randomly stop working
in the background.
For audio enthusiasts
If you're an audiophile who wants more control over how your headphones sound or you simply want to hear the Harman Target Curve sound and what it's all about, the Wavelet: headphone specific EQ is simply a must-have. Whether it's the AutoEQ function or you want to manually tune your gear, it's pretty intuitive to use. The optional Pro version is also worth considering to get more advanced features.
