Speaking of music and sounds we know that many use their smartphone coupled to wireless headphones or wired for improve the quality of the audio experience. The ability to customize the listening parameters depends on both the headphones and the paired smartphone. However, it is also possible to use third party apps to access more customization options.

Precisely in this context we met Wavelets, a free app that allows you to deeply customize your listening experience. We tried it and now we’ll tell you how it went.

Let’s start right away by saying that Wavelet does a very good impression just installed.

The app does not require superfluous access permissions, in fact only those necessary for its optimal use will be requested. In fact, the app requires permission to access Android notifications, this is because when it is running it offers a notification in the respective section with which it is possible handle quickly your listening session without having to open the app.

The interface of the app, as you can see from the screenshots attached in galleryit’s a lot modern and coherent with the Material You that Google has implemented in Android 13. The home screen presents simple information about the listening session in progress. At the bottom you can quickly access the app settings. Also at the bottom we find a on and off button which allows you to cancel or activate all the customizations made with Wavelet during the listening session in one fell swoop.

Once the listening session has started you will see all the customization options available.

We appreciated that all these options, while numerous, are organized in a simple way and it will always be quick to find your way around within the app. Now let’s see what can be done with Wavelet once a listening session has started:

• Graphic equalizer. The audio customization option par excellence allows you to change the weight given to the audio frequencies during listening. A large number of presets are available, as you can see from the screenshots in the gallery. In addition to the various presets, which collect the vast majority of listening audio profiles, it is possible to select the option that allows you to manually customize the equalizer.
• Limiter. This is the option that allows you to limit the post-gain, the threshold, in band. You can customize the release time and attack time. These are more technical options than the equalizer. We advise you not to modify them if you do not know their meaning.
• Channel balance. This option allows you to customize the gain of each listening channel. It is particularly useful when using headphones or stereo speakers.

Obviously in each section of the options described there is no shortage of button for quick reset all customization parameters.

This way it is possible restore all the listening parameters to their initial values.

In short, Wavelets we didn’t miss anything in terms of personalization of listening. The app proves especially useful for those who use headphones or speakers that do not natively offer details possibility of customization of listening.

We close with a final note of merit. The Wavelet app is available on the Google Play Store for free. Once installed you will find that no advertisements are providedas well as a subscription is not required paid to unlock additional features.
