Is there an app or a way to get manual eq adjustments on iPhone while using Apple Music?

I use only Apple Music. I do not have a library of songs or mp3’s. I stream all my music and love Apple Music but I find no app or no way on my iPhone to MANUALLY adjust any eq settings.

I know how to do it through my PC in iTunes but I want to do the same right on my iPhone.

any suggestions?

I‘ve seem some headphones that have apps to make custom eq curves so has anyone tried those or do they suffer drm issues as well?

thank you!

iPhone 5s, iOS 11.2.6

I know this is an expensive option, but go buy yourself a pair of Parrot Zik 3.0 headphones. They are Bluetooth, over the ear, incredibly comfortable and incredible sounding. The Zik's are controlled by an App on your phone with total EQ control over whatever music you are streaming. I have been using the Zik's since 2.0 was released and now I'm using the 3.0's.

Here's a link to a great deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Parrot-Cancelling-Bluetooth-Headphones-Interchangable/dp/ B01CFSYNSY/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=15230…

Thanks Giulio for responding.

I already use the presets built into the iPhone. I’m looking for a way to make manual adjustments so I can create my own sound curves.

I’m not looking to record or alter anything in the music as per DRM. I’m looking for any way to adjust a custom sound curve to match my hearing to each headphone system I own. It shouldn’t be overly complicated as Spotify has an EQ system that a user can adjust plus they have all the same presets as Apple Music.

I’m perplexed as to the issue why Apple Music has no method of making custom sound graphs like it can on the PC version.

Remember that I am 100% focused on streaming music. No libraries involved.

Thank you!!

Thank you for responding.

This is more like what I am looking for.

It is a bit expensive as I’m in Canada and the headphones are $400 here.

BUT it is an option to consider.

I’m puzzled to the complication of adding a manual eq system seeing it’s in the PC versions as well as other streaming systems offer a way to do this.

I might have to consider switching streaming apps but we are an Apple family with several iPhones and iPads and I don’t want to switch yet the service really needs to do what others can :(

Thank you again.

You're welcome. Even if I had to pay $400 for the Zik 3.0, I would. They're simply that fantastic!
