A free add-on has recently been released for Spotify on. Is no Equalizer present in the main Spotify client – not even a bass boost setting! Equalify is not available for Mac or Linux. A free add-on has recently been released for Spotify on Windows, which adds an equalizer to allow you to enhance the sound of your music. In the main Spotify client – not even a bass boost.
On an iPhone If you’re on an iPhone, open Spotify and go to the Your Library Tab. Tap the gear icon in the top right corner and then select Playback. Next, select Equalizer and make sure the toggle is turned on. The numbers under the graph each correspond to a certain range of audio frequencies. In Spotify’s case, 60Hz to 150Hz corresponds to the bass, 400Hz to 1KHz the midrange, and 2.4KHz to 15kHz to the treble. You can modify how loud each group of frequencies sound relative to the other groups by dragging any of the points on the graph up or down.
The best way to get a feel for it is just put on one of your favorite songs and play around with them. Pretty extreme combinations like the one I have in the right screenshot below will sound pretty weird. If you don’t want to go to the hassle of dialling in your own equalizer settings, or just want to keep things simple, you can also select one of Spotify’s presets. These are named either after their function (e.g. Bass Booster or Bass Reducer) or the kind of music they work best for (e.g. Rock or Classical).
Just tap a preset to apply it. You can also modify any preset to make it better fit your set up. On Android On Android, open Spotify and tap the gear icon in the top right corner.

Scroll down and then select Equalizer. It is up to every Android manufacturer to install their own equalizer, which Spotify then uses. Below you can see the equalizers from Motorola and Samsung’s versions of Android.
Each of these equalizers will work slightly differently, but do roughly the same thing. Play around with them until you get the sound you want. If you don’t see the option to use an equalizer, it means your manufacturer hasn’t enabled one. While you don’t need an equalizer, if you’re serious about getting your music to sound great, they’re worth exploring. I know that the headphones I use have a tendency to overemphasize the bass.
By dialing it back a little in Spotify’s equalizer, I get a more natural sound.
