Welcome back, in today’s video we’ll be looking at ways to improve the sound quality
on Android phones. This will also work on tablets too. Whether you want to enhance the
cinematic experience when watching videos and movies or improve the sound of your music,
hopefully some of the tips will help. Now of course it is important to mention that
none of these methods are magic, so it is unlikely that any will drastically help, but
it’s worth a try. The method to change some of the settings might be slightly different
depending on the device manufacturer, as some will run slightly different versions of Android.
I’ll be using a Samsung device but whatever your device is you should still be able to
follow along. Remember to leave a like and feel free to subscribe if the video helps,
let’s get into the methods. The first thing to do is to check what kind
of sound settings your device has by default. Some devices may have sound enhancements built
in. For example, on my device and this will be the case on some others, I can scroll down
from the top and then one of the options in the quick panel is Dolby Atmos. Turning that
on may improve the sound quality and style and tapping on it allows me to change the
type of audio to things like movie mode and music mode.
There may also be other sound options within the settings, so open the main settings page
and look for the sound settings option and tap on it. In here, I have an option called
sound quality and effects and that allows me to turn on Dolby Atmos within here and
I can also use the built-in equaliser. Not all devices will have this so if yours doesn’t
then I’ll have an alternative shortly. Using the built-in equaliser, I can set a music
style to change the definition of the sound and I can customise the volume of each frequency
level to enhance the sound more to my preference. Have a play around and see what you think.
If your phone doesn’t have a built-in equaliser, then you can get one from the Play Store.
Search for equalizer in the Play Store and you could go by the reviews to get the best
one. At the time of recording this video, I went with one called Equalizer FX so feel
free to try that one and follow along. There are three tabs within this app, the first
is the equalizer allowing you to change the volume of the frequencies. In the second tab,
there are some effects that you can turn on and off to your preference. Finally, in the
third tab, you can save profiles based on the settings you’ve changed in order to
use them later on or switch between settings depending on what you’re listening to. You
will notice that this app has a constant notification. You can turn this off if you want by going
to the main settings page, then into the notification settings. Find the app from the list of recent
notifications and tap on it and then turn off the “show notifications” toggle switch.
The next method to improve the sound quality on your Android device is to change the quality
of the media that you are listening to. Whatever app you are using and listening to, you should
be able to change the streaming quality somewhere in the settings. Just remember that increasing
the quality may result in more data usage, so be careful if you are limited. For example,
in Spotify, you can increase the streaming quality by going to settings. You get there
by tapping on the cog icon in the top right. In settings, make sure data saver is turned
off first at the top and then look for the music quality section. Change the streaming
quality to the highest available and if you download your music, you can increase the
quality of that too. The highest available quality is currently a premium feature, so
if you don’t have Spotify premium, then you can only set it to high.
The final method I have is to turn on mono audio. This one is definitely based on personal
preference as you will notice a change in the sound. Some people might prefer it whereas
others might not. To turn this on or off, go back to the main settings page and look
for the accessibility settings or similar. In here, tap on hearing enhancements or again
something named similar. Now you should see an option called mono audio, so try with that
on or off. There might also be some other audio settings to change in here, so feel
free to have a look around. And so that is how to improve the sound quality
on Android devices. Of course, you can always increase the quality by improving your headphones
or getting a speaker. Click or tap the card on screen now to watch a video of mine showing
