![]() ![]() I have been waiting for this app for YEARS!!! Must have!! Nuff said!! Note: in new iOS 5 volume has been severely reduced making this great app useless and now a waste of money. the latest version) plays at very low volume when used under iOS 5. I was going to go for EQu - the quality equalizer too, but what stops me is a bug that is reported by at least three reviewers on the App Store about this app. I'm just as divided between the two as you were before you bought them (though I'll buy just one). These happen to be just the two apps I'm looking at. Thanks a lot for your great info and your links, they were very helpful in guiding me. But here are a couple of links in case you are interested (also typing 'equalizer' in the iTunes search bar may bring up some more):. Personally I've found the battery life to be better than I anticipated when listening to music on my iPhone and I've never not even once have had the EQ set to off (Flat).Īpparently there are some equalizer apps available, but I haven't tried them as I would much rather have Apple incorporate this within the iOS and not have to have an app running. It is mentioned many times that equalizer presets on the iPhone will of course have an impact on battery life, but which is more bearable? slightly reduced battery life or uncomfortable/painful prolonged listening. Buying earphones/headphones is too much of a gamble and a lottery 'if' when you take them home, break the packaging, insert them into the ear only to find that after spending lots of money the sound can be a bit too ear-splitting'ly harsh and revealing on the highs, mids or both. So you see, it would be more of a factor and requirement for setting the overall sound for all the music on one's iPhone in relation to the sound characteristics of make and model headphones being used. Of course this can also be true for some cheap earphones that are just plain 'tinny' sounding, devoid of decent bass and trying to make up their volume by using excessive mids and trebles. The problem is that there is an overwhelming choice of headphone & headsets on the market, many of which are capable of producing exceptional sound and unfortunately many of them or so efficient that they can reveal a little 'too much' detail in the harsh mid-ranges and crisp trebles the result in my experience can make for uncomfortable listening when realising that none of the current supplied Apple equalizer presets shape the mids and trebles in a way that makes it more comfortable for prolonged listening, especially when using quality headphones that reveal every sound very efficiently. I believe this to be a major issue that needs addressing on the iPhone and that Apple have got it wrong with regard to this. Unfortunately and bizarrely there is no option to set up custom/manual equalizer presets for general listening. ![]()
