Bass Booster & Equalizer

Shape the sound from your phone

Bass Booster & Equalizer is an audio-effects app for Android. It lets you adjust bass and volume, use a virtualizer effect, and change sound across five equalizer bands. It suits people who want to tune music or video playback rather than leave the sound at its default settings.

Presets or your own adjustments

The app includes 10 equalizer presets, covering styles such as Jazz, Rock, Hip Hop and Classical, as well as a custom preset for settings you choose yourself. Its controls are intended to work alongside most music and video players, so the effects can be adjusted while other playback apps are in use. Results can vary with the device, headphones or speakers, and the player.

Other listed features include stereo surround sound, notification controls, a sound spectrum display, themes and home-screen widgets. These provide ways to access or view the controls; they are separate from the core job of changing audio levels.

Popularity and trade-offs

Coocent is the developer. The app has a 4.5-star rating from about 385,000 reviews and more than 10 million installs. Those figures indicate broad use, but they do not tell you whether its effects will suit your particular setup.

The supplied information does not specify whether the app contains ads, offers in-app purchases, or requests particular device permissions. Check the current Google Play listing for those details before deciding. Bass and volume boosts can also make playback louder or more pronounced, so start with modest adjustments and lower the volume if the sound becomes uncomfortable.
