Instead of having access to specific frequencies, you control Tune, Harmonics, and Mix settings, which the app uses to tweak the sound output. Like the built-in iOS EQ, the app applies that preset to all songs, but switching within the app among your choices while you’re playing a song is a lot easier.Īudio Xciter takes a different approach to EQ. You can create detailed custom settings and save them for later use. Push up on the frequencies you want to boost or drag down on the ones you want to lower. In the app, you select the song from your Music library, and then tap the Equalizer button. You can easily create detailed custom EQ settings for tracks on your iOS device with Onkyo’s HF Player app. HF Player brings touch control to custom EQ settings. If you want more control over EQ in iOS 7-and you’re willing to forgo using the built-in Music app for playback-you can choose one of several apps that offer lots of additional flexibility and functionality. You can select a different EQ setting for each song via iTunes. And keep in mind that using EQ can have a negative impact on your battery life. Also, if the EQ on your iOS device is set to Off, theĭevice will not play the preset you’ve selected for any song. If you create a custom preset in iTunes through the Equalizer window, however, those changes won’t carry over to your iOS device. Not only will the song always play with that EQ preset on your Mac, but the preset will carry over when you sync that song to an iOS device. In the Equalizer Preset pop-up menu, pick the setting you’d like for that song and click OK. Click the Options tab, and you’ll see several settings that you can adjust for the song. To do so, select a song and press Command-I to open the Get Info window. Use iTunes’ Equalizer window to pick an EQ setting that fits your taste. By default, iTunes applies the EQ you select to all songs, but you can assign EQ settings on a per-song basis. Try selecting Treble Booster and then switch to Bass Booster and you’ll see a significant shift as the virtual knobs dance around to their new spots. To explore the EQ settings in iTunes, first choose Window > Equalizer to see a visual representation of the affected frequencies. Keep in mind, however, that iTunes Match and EQ don’t appear to play well together. (Note that an EQ setting doesn’t actually change the source file all of the adjustments it makes occur on the fly as the song plays.) But if you crave greater flexibility in your EQ settings, such as always using the Rock setting for Led Zeppelin but switching to Hip Hop for Eminem, you can turn to iTunes on your computer for help. When you select an EQ option in Settings, it applies to all songs you play in the Music app. The Bass Booster and Bass Reducer options do exactly what their names imply. iOS 7 offers 23 preset equalizer settings, each based on a different combination of bass, midrange, and treble adjustments, and named (usually) for the genre of music Apple thinks they work well with: Electronic, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Rock, for example. Go to Settings > Music and you’ll see EQ just below Sound Check. IOS hides its EQ options in the Settings menu.ĮQ adjustments come in handy when you’re listening on the go, so it’s a shame that Apple parked its native EQ app in iOS 7 not within the Music app, as you might expect, but in Settings.
