Adds deep, satisfying bass — the kind small earbuds and phone speakers usually can't deliver. The clever part: it doesn't just crank the bass (which makes things boom and distort). It uses gentle automatic control to keep the extra bass tight and punchy.

How it works
If you simply turn bass way up, two things go wrong: it can "boom" and muddy everything else, and it can push a small speaker past its limit so it distorts. Bass Boost avoids both.
It targets only the low frequencies — everything below a line you set, called the crossover — and runs them through a compressor, which is an automatic volume control that gently reins in the loudest bass moments. The result is bass that feels fuller and more powerful but stays controlled, instead of a loose, distorted rumble.
What you can use it for on your phone
- Give cheap earbuds or your phone's speaker the low end they physically lack.
- Add club-style punch to electronic, hip-hop or pop without muddying the vocals.
- Make a thin Bluetooth speaker sound fuller, especially at low volume.
How to use it
Set the Crossover to decide how much counts as "bass" (lower = only the very deep stuff; higher = includes more of the punch), then raise Strength until it feels right. Double-tap a knob to reset; tap the number to type a value. (Advanced interface.)
Why it helps
Small speakers and earbuds naturally lose bass. Bass Boost puts it back with weight and impact, while the built-in control keeps it from booming or distorting.
Settings explained
- Strength — How much extra low end to add (0–100%; start around the default 25% and raise to taste). Higher = more powerful bass; too high can sound unnatural.
- Crossover — The dividing line between "bass" and everything else, in hertz (Hz). Everything below it gets boosted; everything above is left alone. Lower (e.g. 60 Hz) boosts only the deepest sub-bass; higher (e.g. 200 Hz) includes more punch. Default 120 Hz is a good middle.
