Adjust audio balance on Android

maurice28

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact running Android KitKat. When I listen to music, either on PlayerPro music player or Spotify, it sounds to me like it is slightly more balanced through the left ear than the right.

This has happened with two different sets of earphones so it could be my ears! However, I would like to overcome this by adjusting the audio balance so more comes through the right ear than the left.

PlayerPro has a channel balance setting so I think I've managed to sort it on that. However, Spotify doesn't. On Sony's version of Android there doesn't seem to be any balance option for the phone in general. Does anyone know of any apps that will do this? I've tried searching but had no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Check your headphones are properly seated in the socket. If they are a bit out it can cause such symptoms. If everything is OK there then it will be due to your ears.

Thanks, yes, pretty sure it is my ears! Just wondering if there is a general Android app to compensate for this across all music players

I get this quite often, more from the left.. It could be the music! try swapping the earbuds to the wrong ear to experiment.

No experience with any of these, but ...

Just in case you weren't using the best search terms.
