I am contemplating getting this phone, however as I found on the Optimus G Pro, LG didn't seem to enable the equalizer for its outbound bluetooth streaming profile. So applications such as Google Music showed no options for adjusting the sound equalizer.
Can anyone out there with this phone give me a heads up on whether or not this is still the case?
And i realize there are other applications you can download to do this from the play store, but I like to not have to install applications to take more system resources and the 3rd party EQ's don't generally sound very good either.
I use PowerAmp to play all my music. I found Dolby Atmos app on my Axon 7. But I could not turn it ON while my Poweramp player is playing. Also what is use of Dolby Atmos and how it works ?
Atmos is just a software eq. You can just stick with PowerAmp eq if you want. If you have FLAC music and want to use the hi-fi DAC, you will have to use the ZTE music app. The DAC doesn't work outside of the app from what I can tell.

I'm pretty sure you can if you enable MusicFX in the Advanced Tweaks

That's software equalizer. Hi-fi DAC is hardware component.

Checking MusicFX means it will use the phone's built-in EQ which is the Dolby Atmos one which should use the Hi-Fi DAC.
EDIT: Ok I guess I was wrong, but it is possible to use the Hi-Fi DAC with Poweramp 3.0 Alpha! See HERE

Poweramp Alpha does work with Dolby Atmos. You just need to put Poweramp in Hi Res Audio Output through the settings.

I cannot find that setting, where is it in PowerAmp?

Did you update to the version 3.0 Alpha?

Nope, just have the installed version from the Play Store. I'll get the alpha, thanks for the response.
Am I the only one that can't get the tracks to be listed in listed order in the stock music app? No matter what I do or which section I choose to view the tracks, they're always listed alphabetically.
Got burned by Lenovo's A10-70 tablet that also have implemented Dolby ATMOS. That tablet sound will get screwed up every time I loaded Poweramp normal Play Store version. Even disable Direct Volume Control in Poweramp does not help. Please tell me if both normal and alpha version of Poweramp works fine with this phone since I am very much interested. I am also not familiar with ZTE software update policy. Not sure if it will get updated as often and as long like Google Nexus phones.

Shuttle (and Shuttle+) work well with Dolby Atoms, just disable the built in EQ.
DON'T use "n7 Player" - Before their update, it messed up Dolby and I had to reset my phone twice (a 3rd time was my fault). After their latest update, it renders Dolby Atoms useless and when you try to enable it, it restarts the phone (had to reset my phone twice). Thanks to n7 (my favorite player) not playing well with Dolby Atmos, I've had to reset my phone a total of 5 times since getting it 3 weeks ago.

Headset HiFi and Dolby Atmos works with my music player of choice as well: Clean Music. Probably because it's just a simple GUI (entire player is less than 1MB) and leaves all the processing to the system.
Okay apart from Poweramp and builtin music player - what are other good options to make use of best available audio on board with Axon 7 ?

Well Spotify seems to work well for me. It probably doesn't use the Hi-Fi chip but with Dolby enabled the sound is very nice.
Call me stupid or lazy but the volume is tiny compared to my old LG G2. I have to turn it all the way up to 70%. Is this the case for you guys?
Hello
I tried to use poweramp, but this isn´t dolby Atmos enabled, but, I ´m using Jetaudio plus... and this works PERFECT, remember that this sound app was designed for use in high -end mp3 players ( like cowon), and i can say with full confidence that works great with dolby atmos, boosting very well the music in the speakersphone, in the bluetooth car stereo and headphones ( wired and wireless)... this app bringing bass optimization ( in the original speakersphone the bass is very poor), let me know your experience, i´ll try to help
Please don't recommend warez. Against XDA rules. Getting paid apps for free is warez.

i love when someone expresses gratitude with an aid. The post was edited, It was with pleasure!
Someone on the Zte forums said you need to disable direct volume control and BT direct volume control in the settings. In order to get power amp to work with Dolby.
And I can confirm that I am able to use the hifi setting and Dolby with Tidal. Which actually makes the music sound better to me than my dp-x1 onkyo player, which makes me mad cause that thing cost me 800$ lol
As the title says, I have downloaded several equalizers and none of them will work in any audio app I have tried (google play, slacker radio, etc.). When I tried to use the built-in audio effects app, it only works on Google Play and not Slacker Radio.
Are there any solutions to this issue? Does a custom ROM fix these issues?
Thanks.
Yes it is the issue. I have poweramp and it has its own equalizer which works only in poweramp. And if I change the effects in default equalizer, it won't affect poweramp settings.

Is this a device issue, ROM issue, an app issue or a Marshmallow issue?
No idea. Probably device issue.
I think BlackPlayer might have an option of letting you pick the EQ, at least when I used it consistently it asked if I wanted to use the system or app's EQ.

Will this allow the use of an equalizer within other audio apps like Slacker, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc.? If the EQ only works within that app it doesnt solve the problem. Thanks.
I'm looking for a standalone music player app for Android Wear with Equalizer!
I'd like to listen to music on my Bluetooth headphone without my phone. (just music on my watch + headphone)
I found an app for this, which is called "Wear Media - Music Gallery". It works perfectly, but sounds awful. No EQ settings in the app at all.
So I'm looking for something similar to Wear Media with EQ settings option!
OR:
I'm looking for a standalone headphone Equalizer app for Android Wear that I could use for any music player apps. I found one on Google Play that is called "Headphones Equalizer by ManyThingsDev", but it seems like a big lie. It says it has full support for Android Wear. No it doesn't. It doesn't even appear on my watch in the list of apps, nor in the Google Play section of my watch as an installable app.
So a real, working, standalone EQ app for the watch would be nice. If anyone knows one, please let me know!
Hi,
I've never seen any wear app with equalizer.
I'm using Musio and the sound is quite good, i.e. the same than with my Smartphone through Bluetooth.

Hello everyone, let me elaborate on this:
I've noticed when using Spotify or Google Play Music I can easily activate or deactivate Audio+ Snapdragon equalizer, but this is only working on those apps, so, my question is, is there any way to keep that equalizer active through all the system like Dolby Atmos? like in ringtones, YouTube, etc?
BTW, I've tried Viper equalizer on other device and didn't like it, Dolby Atmos works very well but if we have Audio+ Snapdragon option and the capability to enable it, why don't we give it a chance.
Thanks in advance!
Same question here, searching for answer from long time
Yup, I have the same doubts too
If Spotify can have it then I guess the apps like YouTube have to implement it individually.
