Have had my MediaPad M3 for one day and loving it so far. Yes, it has great sound but I don’t find any apps on the device that can make best use of the sound. I want to listen through my Bose headset and like booming bass. I want to play my mps3s and mp4s on players with an equalizer. I have spent a few hours searching and so far the best video/equalizer player I have found in VLC. I don’t even mind paying a few dollars if someone has a better suggestion. On my older android I was using Poweramp for mp3. Pretty good actually but I am open for other suggestions.

Poweramp is still my go to mp3 player. You could try neutron as well, it extremely configurable but not the most user friendly or best looking app.

MXPlayer with AC3 support (movies)
JetAudioPlus with Bongiovi plugin (audio).

Both are amazing. I've even tried, as a performance test, to play 4K AC3/DOLBY/x265 movies : no lag, super smooth. Super viewing pleasure ; don't have to reencode or find 720p versions. Subtitles work perfectly fine. I do love this tablet.

I have used mx and I like it. I just can't figure how to put an equalizer on it. Can that be done? Picky that way.

I don't know actually, interesting question.
We should try to install several 'system wide' equalizers and see if mx-player takes it into consideration.

Actually I am having very good luck with VLC. I have also installed and tried - Video Player for android. has equalizer option https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=video.player.audio.player.music&hl=en
and Video Player HD is a best video player with AC3 audio support Equalizer support. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=videoplayer.mediaplayer.hdplayer&hl=en
These both seem to be copies of VLC with adds. On one at least I had to reset the equalizer every time I turned it on were VLC remembered my settings. I also like the layout on VLC more. The one drawback with it is that you have to stop the movie to adjust the EQ but not on the other two.
I was never thrilled with VLC on windows because it does not remember where you stopped in a movie. With android it does resume play.
