I bought Fairbuds. The sound quality is mediocre. The equalizer in the app has no effect. Do you have any advice?
Has the app (I do not mean just bluetooth) clearly “recognized” your Fairbuds? I remember when I first tried to get the app to recognize them, I kept failing because I did not have Location activated in the phone Settings . I have no idea why it would take Location, but once I activated Location, the app would recognize and remember the Fairbuds.
BTW is this your request, too?

I can confirm that. Here the problem is discussed too:
I got an update of the Fairbuds app via the Google app store some days ago. It reads now Version 3.3 and shows the new green fairphone design. I had to pair my Fairbuds again beacuse my setting of the equalizer were gone. My experience now is that the app does not work in the most parts at all. When I have first connect my Fairbuds in the app, a screen opens showing the battery status (o.k.) and a volume control (works fine). The options “Main”, “Bass Boost” and “Flat” have no influence on the …
My Fairbuds are new and I don’t have an older version of the app to compare.
I now use Poweramp as an equalizer. The sound is now excellent.
