Best Spotify Equalizer Settings for AirPods

Last Updated:

Different equalizer settings will work better or worse on different types of music. In today’s article, I’ll show you the best Spotify equalizer settings for AirPods, Samsung, and other Android devices and how you can set this in just a few seconds.

Equalization helps balance or customize sound output – talking about the bass, mid-range, and treble. However, there are many ways to get around this audio feature for your device to produce what you want.

First, I’ll show you the best Spotify equalizer settings for AirPods and we’ll see together how you can boost Spotify sound with the Equalizer feature via your smartphone – be it an Android, iPhone, or Samsung.

What are the Best Spotify Equalizer Settings for AirPods

For the most part, when we install Spotify on our iPhone, AirPods, iPad, Android device, or even on our computers, what we do is just install the app and start listening to music.

So, you can expect that everyone who downloads Spotify for the first time will have the flat equalizer setting enabled on their account. But this setting will not produce the best audio quality. So, whenever you’re listening to Spotify on your AirPods and don’t use these equalizer settings, the music will be a little different. 

Automatically equalize the setting on Spotify

  1. Go to your Spotify account on your iPhone and click on Setting.
  2. Go to Playback. You’d notice that the Equalizer graph line is flat. Whenever you’re using the flat default equalizer, the audio will not be pumped up. The bass will not be that amazing even though the vocals will be kind of okay.
  3. Get the Equalizer enabled, after that simply drag down and click on the music genre you like.  You should see that the audio is a little optimized.
  4. The left side in the EQ chart is usually the bass.  If we increase that one, the bass will be very high and if we decrease it, the bass will be down and the treble will be high.

Customize the EQ setting

If you’ve discovered the best Spotify equalizer settings for AirPods and you know what you’re doing, you can always customize the e32qualizer by yourself. It’s that simple.

Below is what a Spotify equalizer setting should be. There are around 5 to 6 frequency bars that go from the left (the bass end) to the right (the treble end)

  • Sub-bass: This is usually set between 20 to 60 Hz. You need a subwoofer or a pair of open-back headphones to hear the sound here.
  • Bass: The bass range is usually between 60 to 200 Hz. Of course, this should be your focus if you listen with AirPods and want a banging bass.
  • Low mids, mids, and upper mids: The low mids too are between 200 to 600 Hz while the mid-range is around 600 Hz to 3 kilohertz. The upper mids can go up to 8 kilohertz.
  • The high: Called the treble, the high range is the loudest on the chart and it can go to 20 kilohertz in most speakers.

Meanwhile, note that the AirPods have a frequency range of 100 Hz to 10 kilohertz.

How to customize the EQ

To customize the equalizer by yourself, try out the following.

  • Find out the frequencies you need to increase or reduce, based on your music genre.
  • For hip-pop, the right setting involves raising the bars by the left, turning the mid-range down, and then raising the treble.
