I do own an IKKO OH10 which i can easily bass boost (+5db in 50-150 Hz range) using Wavelet with my Google Pixel phone. The sound is just perfect with deep rumbling basses. When I use a wireless adapter (I have tried UTWS5, KZ A09, TRN, BT 70) and all of them are sound saturating when I boost the same range more than 2db. Is there something i do wrong or is there something due to the Bluetooth technology. I have the feeling that the only device not saturating in the bass boost is the Shure TWS2 but that one is not multipoint. I am currently using the BT70 bluetooth cable which is multipoint but does saturate. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
It sounds like the BT adapters that you have tried cannot deliver the power required by bass boosting. I would look for a more powerful unit if I were you.

Have you tried making your own EQ? I'd bring everything but the bass down and see if you still have issues.

I have tried to boost the bass only but the same thing occurs. Now I have received a BT70 from aliexpress, received in 6 days in Europe and I am quite happy. I cannot boost the bass the way i want but with a S23+, it makes the job. I have as well found a replacement for my IKKO OH10 : FatFreq Mini which is god on the subbass and much lighter.
The level of subbass i am now getting is very satisfactory. Thank you for your advice.
