Hi guys, I have a S20 Ultra and I had the pleasure of sharing my equalizer settings. I am an audio technician, and for me these settings are the best! Try doing the switch with "Custom" and "Normal". Let me know! If you want, set dolby atmos as "music".
(the first two bands are worth nothing, because the frequency range starts from 130hz) This setting also work with s20/s20+, since they have the same sound system. I recommend using these settings with high quality audio files, such as flac hires.
For the best eq, for stock akg headphones:
v1.0, see post #9;
v1.5, see post #16;
v2.0, see post #43 (wrong post)
v2.1, see post #46 (the best).

Thanks for sharing. Will test later. Is this "best" for all around sound or specifically for the phone's speakers?

the front speaker (the call speaker) produces the lowest frequencies, starting from 130Hz. Therefore the 125hz and 63hz do nothing

Try this configuration for AKG headphones, without dolby atmos activated, compare with "Normal" and "Custom", and let me know! I have to give it another look, so I don't assure you of anything, but you can very well try! (If you want less bass, 63hz -2)

Thank you OP - amazing share!!
Makes a big difference, especially at higher volumes when compared to the 'normal' setting.
I mainly listen to Hip-hop/RnB on loudspeaker when I'm in the bathroom. This equaliser setting has made the music sound 'crisp' and not distorted.
Are there any custom settings for Hip-hop music via loudspeaker?
I have left Atmos on but set this to music.
What setting should I use when using my Sony WF-1000XM3 Bluetooth headphones? If only there was an easy way to have multiple pre-sets.

This is one of the best eqs, according to my assessment tools and my ear ... if you already hear it more than well, it is useless Then if your ear hears less frequencies or more frequencies is another matter ...
As for your bluetooth headphones, on the internet I found the frequency answer (1.jpg). Usually for a better equalization rate you have to take the photo (1.jpg) and turn it upside down (2.jgp). Once this is done, the phone equalizer must be more similar to the modified photo (2.jpg). If you see (3.jpg) I did this for you, and it is more than similar to the modified photo (2.jpg). This is one of the best ways to equalize headphones. Let me know how it feels!

You can make headphones louder by using adapt sound. It customizes sound based on your hearing ability.

I recommend "neutron". It costs a few bucks but it is the best "music player" I've used. Mainly for the reasons you mention. It comes with built in EQ AND preamp to not only increase volume but also to increase "signal strength" or "gain". It basically has a preamp. It also has settings that adjust the preamp automatically(if 1 song is stronger than the other and the app senses "clipping" it will reduce the gain automatically.)
I have no affiliation with the app it's just the only 1 I've come across that has the EQ and gain features needed to boost the signal.
Note: I've never connected to my car via bluetooth but the features I mention work no matter if I'm using the earphone jack or the phone speaker so they should work when connected via BT as well.
on edit: The "signal" could be decreasing when you increase the bass because the app senses "clipping" or "distortion". So it's not the volume that decreases is the signal strength or "gain" like on an amp. Check the sound settings and see if there is anything that controls "clipping" "signal strength" "dither" "gain" or anything like that.

Sorry about the confusion. These setting are separate settings outside of an EQ. These would be settings in a particular "music player". As I stated finding these settings in a basic music player is rare which is why I recommended "Neutron". Your music player may just "reduce signal strength" when distortion is detected to keep the average listener from blowing speakers by turning the EQ settings up to high(or the tone settings bass/treble).

this device is awesome but there is something that i litterally got annoyed by...
i was using iphone 5s before this phone and it gave sound to headphones like a charm. when you tried to increase the sound it indeed was increasing it
but this phones headphone performance is ****!!! litterally when bass comes in, the sound drops so hard. and when i try to listen a music GAIN is somewhat weird it is good at normal points of the music
then the drop comes and sound gets decreased.. a lot!
how can i fix this
Audio performance of this device is a joke. I hope that it is a software problem and not hardware but i doubt it is...

After experimenting so much with apps and settings i do now confirm that this issue is caused by the default settings because in "dj" apps after changing gain and messing with eq along with the sound settings the cracking is %99 gone and the sound level increased as it started to hurt my ears (but im using apple headphones)

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. But one question. I'm subscribed to Google Play Music how can I increase the level from Google music app?
The songs downloaded are not recognised by 3rd party Music Players. Even Poweramp is not recognising it.
It is pretty clear that the device has the potential to deliver the best audio at an optimum level but people at Asus are giving a deaf ear to this. I guess a little bit of coding or just a software update can sort the problem. Or some hack might help.

When i will get time i will try to boost sound at kernel level.......
Or just use viper4android or something like that, the dolby atmos, or other sound mods are also available. They work systemwide. I haven't tested and don't know any will work or not. Report here if someone tries.
Poweramp Hi-Res Output will only work if Viper4FX is not installed. With Viper the audio is capped at 16 bit, uninstall it and experience 24 bit audio. It does make a huge difference for high quality music files (lossless .FLAC). Happy with my Shure SE 215 now.
Viper ,Dolby are capped only upto 16bit 48khz ..,..
Poweramp uses its own build DSP to trigger 24bit 384khz of sd636 built in DAC bypassing Nxp smart amp.....
Poweramp is dope......none can match its sound quality.....
I hope that Nxp smart amp support 24bit 384khz audio seraching a way to implement it
Works amazingly man. Now I can finally retire my Mi A1.
Works nice...but after enabling.... I can't control it's volume. Even with system media volume to zero....songs play at maximum sound.
Is there equalizer app or something to improve sound?
Not while using headphones (aka not huawei sound effects)
My sound is very very low on latest update. I think Huawei broke something.
Question, does Mate 10 pro uses internal dac and sends analog signal trough USB port or it needs an active dongle with dac inside like Pixel and most phones?

I feel that too i think my sound speakers were louder when i first got it
They could improve it alot by allowing the earpiece act as stereo rather than high frequency
As i have stereo+ turned on so in youtube for example when i rotate the phone the sound experience really changes
As I've said elsewhere download equalizer pro. Works brilliantly and I use all the time with Spotify.

It's the system equalizer, you can access it by using the equalizer either on spotify or youtube music for example.
I think it's normal... The bass at max level need more powefull speakers. I think also with external speakers max bass levels are not recommend for a good sound. My works is installer audio video systems

As your phone is MI A3 it doesn't have so much powerful speakers like OnePlus 7t pro so it's there will be some problem like low sound while it is in full volume

Same problem here. I have galaxy a40 and whenever I turn my eq sound quality drops. Looks like it can't handle it. I've tried several different eq apps as well but with no effort.
I think the only possible solution will be downgrade to android 10.
the stock EQ is not that nice, if you increase a certain frequency in the stock eq it will just reduce the other frequencies so that it sounds like that one frequency is boosted, but it sounds so crappy, So if you want a good eq without root try wavelet it's the best that i have tested equivalent or better than viper4android, but note 1 thing wavelet will actually boost the frequencies, so at high volumes you can damage the DAC or speaker so be aware of that.
