However, there are times when I’m listening to music on the go withmy headphones, and the bass can sound off and weaker than it should be. Fortunately, Spotify has an equalizer setting in its desktop and mobile app that allows users to easily adjust audio frequencies to discover the ideal mix for them. Even if you aren’t sure of what you’re looking for sound-wise, Spotify offers a variety of presets you’re able to experiment with to find the right frequency level for the genre of music you’re enjoying, whether it’s classical, hip-hop, jazz, or more.
The feature is easy to find and play around with, and anyone can access it on Spotify’s app – noPremium subscriptionrequired.

How to use Spotify’s Equalizer
You can use preset frequencies or play around with it yourself
Spotify offers a wide variety of equalizer presets to explore, but you can also customize the equalizer yourself. However, this can become somewhat tricky, and it may be challenging to find the right balance between the various sound frequencies based on what you’re listening to.
When examining the equalizer graph, there are three different frequencies you can experiment with. The low-range frequency modifies the bass, the mid-range influences the vocals and instruments, and the high-range enhances the clarity of high musical notes, such as those produced by a piano or drum cymbals. First, I would select a preset that aligns with your music genre and then experiment with the equalizer until you find something you like.
Generally, if you’re not an audiophile, I’d suggest sticking to Spotify’s preset equalizer options. There are 22 settings available that cover a wide variety of music types, and I’ve noticed they make a significant difference in sound quality and my immersion in the music. If you’re able to’t find a frequency setting that works, you can always revert to the default flat setting to regain the original listening experience you had.
