hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe handy the Android authority app guy by now Android has fixed most of the problems when it comes to music quality however a lot of people still use equalizers to get a little extra kick out of their sound today we'll be taking a look at some of the best equalizer apps for Android first on our list is the aptly named music equalizer by Rodrigo Kolb yes there needs to be a distinction there because there is a second app on this list with exactly the same name this variant is a simple app that shows up in a floating window and looks a little plain but it gets the job done it has all the bells and whistles you'd expect from an equalizer there is a bass boost visualization although there are no visualization options a five band EQ and presets this is one of the few on the list that doesn't max out the bass on every setting and that's actually a good thing next on our list is an app called equalizer FX free this little equalizer app features a six band EQ along with all the usual goodies including presets bass boost visualization settings and the ability to save custom profiles it's an equalizer and it does equalizer things we actually couldn't understand why people didn't rate this one higher it won't bow anyone but it doesn't harass you with ads and the equalizer settings do actually work the only problem we found was that half the presets had the bass maxed out which makes everything sound like it's coming out of Beats Audio which isn't always a good thing viii on our list is called and I hope I'm getting this right and EQ equalizer this nifty little five band equalizer has both a paid and a free version the difference being nothing more than ads we recommend checking out the free version first though to make sure that the app works properly on your device we did have some trouble with it as you can see we got forced closes when trying to load the presets that may have been just us but again check out the free version first problems aside is a simple five band equalizer app with some presets that can be nice if you need a quick tweak OBO eq is number 7 on our list and like an EQ this is a very simple equalizer it's actually designed for the obvio brand headsets but it still works for everything it comes with some music controls in a small settings menu should you need to use them the main interface is where the EQ is and like we stated it's pretty simple you move the six bands wherever you need them to go or you can select from a few presets there are also bass boost and reverb available should you need them is it nice sure it is is it anything special no not really is just an equaliser next up is the second unimaginative Lee named music equalizer as the name implies this is an equalizer for music also the sky is blue Twilight is overrated and Steve Ballmer is crazy obvious facts aside this is actually a really nice app with a slick interface like the first one it opens up to a floating window which is already really awesome and then proceeds to do exactly what it's supposed to do unfortunately like some others on this list its pitfalls that it thinks everyone wants maxed out base on every single preset other than that this is the superior of the two music equalizers at number five is Android equalizer player we tried not to include a lot of media players because usually the equalizer is secondary to actually playing the media for this app that is not the case at all as the equalizer is a front and center feature that's always visible beware though as the ads can get annoying so here's how it works you open the app find a song and play it when you do you find that the equalizer is baked right into the main music player it has a number of presets in the separate phase control but if you're one of those people who like to change the equalizer between every song this is definitely one for you to check out like we said a second ago we try to stay away from music players because equalizers are more of a peripheral feature there however like Android equalizer player this app has the equalizer at the forefront of the music player and as its main feature that said the equalizer music player is almost an exact replica of the Android equalizer player down to the small room the big room the plate settings down to the presets and everything however this one has millions of downloads while the other one has only a couple hundred thousand downloads and the ads aren't as bad admittedly this one also kind of looks better the first in our top three is called bass booster this app used to be a much bigger deal back in the days before this kind of stuff was really common especially in earlier versions of Android for eq's weren't baked into the OS it's not that big of a deal anymore but it still functions pretty well the bass boost part is kind of a toss-up it may work with your device and it may not it's recommended to try the free version first to see if that's what you're looking for what it comes with though is a pretty nice expand equalizer with a number of presets and a simple interface and you can't ask for much more than that number two on our list is a nifty little app called equalizer this is one of the easiest apps on the list to use and it doesn't come with any catches like advertising there is a paid version that unlocks some of the better features but the free version is still perfectly usable on the first page you can see the equalizer presets on the second page you can set the equalizer yourself and even use a track to play while you do it page three lets you control the bass boost and the reverb perhaps our favorite feature was the auto equalizer which changes your EQ based on the genre of the song you're listening to beware though you need to have proper ID three tags set on your music for this feature to work this is it the last on our list and the number one rated equalizer app bite you guys it's called music volume EQ and it has a really nice looking interface like a few others it shows up in a floating window and as do the rest of the list it acts as an equalizer and volume manager it has all the bells and whistles you'd expect equalizers bass boost presets visualization and volume controls it looks nice and it works well of course nearly every EQ preset has the bass maxed all the way out like many of the others so you may need to turn that down in order to enjoy it however this is the one that people like the most here is the leader board so you can see them all together as always we do not rate these ourselves this is how you the people have rated them there is no bias here ladies and gentlemen to get these apps the links are in the video description all of these apps essentially work the same way you open them you mess with either five or six band equalizers and your music hopefully sounds a little better so there may be very little variance as to how all of these work most of the time the difference is how they look of course equalizers are out there by the dozens and are often mixed in with themes and plugins for other apps so if we missed a really good equaliser and you want
