BudWave
Battery readouts and equalizer for every pair of wireless earbuds — AirPods, Galaxy Buds, Sony WF, JBL, Bose, Nothing — on Android.
BudWave is a free Android app that brings AirPods-style battery readouts to every pair of Bluetooth earbuds — AirPods, Galaxy Buds, Sony WF, JBL, Bose, Nothing, Sennheiser — plus a 10-band system equalizer that tunes every app on your phone.
AirPods-style battery, for every brand.
When you plug AirPods into an iPhone, a little card slides up and tells you the state of each bud and the case. BudWave brings that same moment to Android — and to any Bluetooth earbuds, not just one brand's locked ecosystem.
Pair once, and BudWave reads left, right and case battery percentages, then surfaces them as a notification card, a status-bar icon and a home-screen widget.
An equalizer that actually moves the needle.
A 10-band system equalizer tunes how every app on your phone sounds through your buds — louder bass, sharper vocals, flatter studio profiles. Save your own presets, or start from one of the curated profiles for podcasts, hip-hop, classical and gaming.
