[Android One (Second-Generation) General] BenFavoredSon:
Try Eizo Pro and AIMP with Cherry Mobile G1 Android One (2nd Gen)

Hi,

And hey, I've devoted a significant amount of my free time the past few weeks at the Market trying out the best FREE EQ and Music Player apps that can work seamlessly with Cherry Mobile G1 Android One. So I basically stayed away from the paid apps, the ones that make you feel good until you hit a wall stating you need to pay to go further. I really hate it when that happens to me. An even better analogy would be like showing you a sexy woman in a bikini, the paid apps will show you the many parts and will explain how all those parts work together exhaustively, but it will never show you the most important part of all, unless you pay.

I've tried EQ+ and used it for quite a while until coming across Eizo Rewire PRO at the Market which blew me away. I strongly recommend you try it.

1. You would be needing decent earphones though because the ones that come with Cherry Mobile G1 Android One simply won't do period.

I'm using an LKer which is great with base. It has dual drivers on both left and right earphones which renders solid and clear musical notes at 1,200p.

Also have Tennmak Pro which is more on treble which was bought for 1,800p which I use less than the LKer as I prefer a more pronounced base when it comes to club music.

There are the Piston series from Xiaomi which gets a lot of good reviews too at Headfi which you can check out for the reviews and comparison.

2. It is necessary/strongly recommended to disable stock EQ which is Music FX to fully appreciate the unique sound of Eizo Pro.

You can check to confirm that Music FX is disabled and Eizo Pro is enabled in Settings/Apps clicking both apps to see if enabled/disabled. You can also check/confirm both at Settings/Sound/Music Effects. Eizo Pro also has Notification which I prefer to block and I therefore set to Block All in Android 6.01.

Once in a while, I would remember to check Music FX that it stays disabled, as well as Eizo Pro, that it stays Enabled. No problems whatsoever.

You can now use your usual music player and hear the difference.

3 specifics as to how sound will be delivered:

- Line Out which means earphones

- Wireless which includes Hydrolytic

- Built-in which means 'for speakers'

Basically, as a quick start guide, I followed the settings stated in the app description at the Market or Store. There are specific settings for Cinema, Games, and Music. So it's a more sophisticated Music FX replacement which increases volume in a unique way.

- There is also the Eizo Rewire E which is basically for music only as I understand.

- Then also Noozy Music Player which on its own has a different soundstage platform and therefore its own unique sound different from Eizo E and Eizo Pro.

- Then again, you cab stick in either Eizo E or Eizo Pro (you need to disable stock Music FX) to work with Noozy.

You can click features offered within all three apps to get a deeper though more technical jargon, in understanding what is offered. Too technical for me anyway.

2. Now after experimenting with a number of music player. I found that the free Russian music player app AIMP by Artem Izmaylov the best match for the Japanese EIZO Pro.

Notes to consider:

-- AIMP has a very good Equalizer. Check it out. It's impressive as it is on it own.

-- AIMP already has a volume booster that needs no toggle to enable it. Its there, you notice the volume boost far more extensive than any separate volume booster app.

-- You need to leave AIMP EQ turned off or disabled to hear the unique sound offered by Eizo Pro.

-- Now, this is the best reason why I say these two apps work together really well:

-- -- While playing your music using earphones, with Eizo Pro as your EQ and stock Music FX disabled, Go to AIMP EQ and without turning the EQ on, load the Preset ZERO (which is basically FLAT or no effect to Eizo Pro sound you are hearing). Now turn on AIMP EQ, sound should not change as the EQ sliters are all set to ZERO. Now slowly slowly (slowly slowly, which means VERY slowly) increase PREAMP Setting (second slider from top) and get the volume increased EVEN MORE!!! YOU WILL FEEL THE VOLUME INCREASE ON THE WHOLE SOUNDSTAGE. FROM LEFT, CENTER, AND RIGHT MONITORS ALL INCREASE IN SYNCHRONICITY. Unlike other volume booster apps which gives you an awkward feeling of having only one area of the sound platform go up while the rest stays put which gives you the impression that volume boost is a trick . WITH EIZO REWIRE PRO AND AIMP IN THIS SETTING, THE WHOLE SOUND PLATFORM FROM LEFT, CENTER, TO RIGHT INCREASES GIVING YOU SOLID SOUND WHICH STICKS AND DOESN'T FALTER.

-- Of course you are free to experiment with settings on both Eizo Pro and AIMP how you want. Both apps are free at the Market.
