Telecharger.com has selected five free audio equalizers to improve the quality of sound played by your Android smartphone.
On average, the French listen to nearly 2.5 hours of music every day. Enjoying your favorite titles on smartphones has now become commonplace thanks to the dematerialization of musical media. However, many music lovers are not satisfied with the audio quality emitted by their device. At issue: a poorly performing native equalizer and imprecise sound controls. To help you add depth to the bass, brighten the treble, air your mixes and give your ears ideal sound, Telecharger.com has selected five free Android equalizers that are compatible with your music library stored locally and / or online.
Equalizer
Equalizer seduces with its ease of use. Compatible with your local content and certain streaming services such as Deezer, the application includes ten predefined profiles. We especially appreciate the automatic detection option that determines the musical style being played and applies the appropriate presets.

The most demanding can access the five-band equalizer by tapping the visualizer. Each frequency spectrum is manually modifiable with the possibility of adding sound effects (bass and spatialization). However, we regret the absence of explicit graduation which would allow precise adjustment of the decibel gains or attenuations for each band.
Equalizer integrates some premium features such as saving personalized settings, saving profiles on the SD card and creating shortcuts on the smartphone home page.
The +:
+ Five-band equalizer ± 15 dB (75 Hz to 14 kHz)
+ Satisfying sound effects
+ Easy to use interface
+ Many predefined profiles
The – :
– No detailed graduation in dB
– No saving of personalized profiles in free version
– Last dated update, sometimes due to instabilities

Bass Booster
Bass Booster is a great bass booster compatible with your local player and most streaming services. Its simplified handling makes it accessible to less experienced users who benefit from presets adapted to different musical styles. A quality improvement option roughs up the parameterization work while an update module regularly checks the effectiveness of the applied effects.

The Bass Booster Equalizer has five graduated bands to make the setting as precise as possible. In the free version, the app has a save slot for personalized arrangements. It is possible to overwrite it to save a new configuration.
The Premium version of Bass Booster unlocks the limit on backup spaces, automatically detects the settings to be applied and integrates a sound spatialization module.
The +:
+ Five-band ± 10 dB graduated equalizer (100 Hz to 10 kHz)
+ Powerful bass booster
+ Many presets
+ Custom settings save slot
The – :
– No sound spatialization in free version

Music Equalizer Pro
Music Equalizer Pro incorporates more in-depth features than its peers. In addition to its five-band equalizer, we benefit from an effective bass module and sound spatialization tool. As a bonus, the application manages the reverberation, recreating the echo generated by more or less large spaces.

Apprentice music lovers benefit from twenty presets taking into account the style of the music played, the desired effects and the broadcasting material. Perfectionists save as many configurations as they want, easily finding carefully tuned audio profiles.
We therefore almost conclude that Music Equalizer Pro is flawless. However, it should be noted that the app is not always very responsive, sometimes requiring several restarts. We also regret the invasion of advertisements that we cannot get rid of since it is not possible to buy the equalizer.
The +:
+ Five-band ± 15 dB graduated equalizer (60 Hz to 14 kHz)
+ Efficient bass and sound spatialization modules
+ Very many presets adapted to the styles played and the desired effects
+ Save an unlimited number of personalized profiles
The – :
– Not always very responsive
– Very intrusive advertisements

BlackPlayer
BlackPlayer is not strictly speaking an equalizer, but an ultra customizable audio player. The application automatically detects the local directory containing the music that is sorted by tracks, artists or albums.

BlackPlayer’s added value is its built-in five-band EQ. Some presets adapt to the musical style being played. The sound effects benefit from being manually configured according to the stereo balance, the depth of the bass, the spatialization and the amplification sought.
We can deplore at BlackPlayer the absence of a backup slot for custom equalizations. We could also have expected more specific options from such an app. Insofar as it is possible to edit the tags of each title from the player, it would have been judicious to be able to automatically apply the appropriate effects.
The +:
+ Audio player in its entirety
+ Five-band ± 15 dB graduated equalizer (60 Hz to 14 kHz)
+ Extensive customization of sound effects
+ Quality presets
+ Integrated volume amplifier
The – :
– Does not support streaming services
– No save slot for personalized settings

Poweramp
Just like BlackPlayer, Poweramp is a complete audio player that stands out for the integration of a ten-band equalizer. The advantage of a greater number of modifiable spectra lies in the possibility of making finer, more precise and more airy adjustments.

Poweramp brings together presets suited to styles as well as desired rendering effects. A backup module manages an unlimited number of personalized configurations that can then be assigned to the selected albums and songs. A bass booster and a treble amplifier add warmth and clarity to the titles being played. Options such as mono / stereo balance, spatialization and sound volume multiply the setting possibilities.
All the features offered by Poweramp are accessible during the fifteen days of the trial period. You then have to buy a license to continue to enjoy the reader and its features.
The +:
+ Full audio player
+ Ten-band equalizer (31 Hz to 16 kHz)
+ Backup slots for an unlimited number of personalized settings
+ Possible assignment of a preset to an album or a song
The – :
– Does not support streaming services
– No detailed graduation in dB
– Trial limited to fifteen days

Verdict
Although there are a few basic rules to ensure the smooth equalization of a composition, sound management remains a matter of personal sensitivity. The most complete application of this selection is undoubtedly Music Equalizer Pro. But the ubiquity of advertisements quickly spoils the positive experience. Simpler and more practical, Bass Booster offers a good compromise with excellent management of deep bass.
Audio players stand out in a category of their own. BlackPlayer easily convinces fans of advanced customization with a number of flexible sound effects. However, we cannot neglect the breadth of the frequency spectrum covered by Poweramp, which suits the most demanding users.
