Back in 2014, Spotify added its own equalizer to its premium service. But despite receiving exceptional reviews for the addition, Spotify went to the lengths of allowing the use of third-party equalizer on its premium service too.
For those of you that like to personalise- and music lovers tend to- this ensures you can choose an equalizer that perfectly suits your needs while listening to your tunes in high fidelity.
So without further ado here are some of the better equalizer apps, for Android and iOS, which work well on Spotify.
- SpotEQ – iOS – $2.99
“Built to satisfy everyone from bass heads to audiophiles, SpotEQ makes you the master of your music.” So goes SpotEQ’s blurb and it does deliver a decent service to those looking for a decent equalizer to use in conjunction with Spotify.
Down to specifics and the Spot EQ interface offers a functional user experience. But the true highlights of this app can be found in the equalizer itself which affords the user the opportunity to save unlimited EQ presets.
SpotEQ is also being constantly updated to meet demanding musos high standards. Interestingly enough, one of the main criticisms of SpotEQ was its inability to save playlists; a functionality that has since been added.
At the moment, the app doesn’t include the Spotify Radio or Discovery features, but based on the responsive action taken on incorporating playlist ability, I imagine that this issue will be resolved pretty quickly.
- Equalizer – Android – Free
Some of these apps can be overly when you feel like your phone’s become a music studio. Where Equalizer stands apart is in its simplicity.
It’s incredibly easy to use. So if you’re not overly savvy with equalizers and/or simply want to tinker a little, but not overcomplicate things then this is the app for you.
Equalizer features 11 stock presets and you can change things manually too if you wish.
- Soundfocus – iOS – Free
The intriguing thing about Soundfocus is that it will allow you to take a hearing test to tune music to your hearing pattern.
From the few reviewers the app has got, it has got great reviews. This aside it’s a relatively no nonsense music player built upon simplicity and good user experience.
