how to increase bass in headphones

 

Knowing the right way to tune your headphones can help you enjoy better sound and a more comfortable listening experience. Here are some tips for getting the very best sound from your headphones.

1) Make sure they fit properly - Your headphones should be snug enough that you don't have to hold them in place on your head, but not so tight that they cause discomfort or pain. If the tip of the earbud doesn't line up with one of your ears, it could be hitting against your ear and muffling the sound.

2) Check for proper volume - Most music is mixed at a level where bass sounds best between 70% to 100% volume on most devices. If you want more bass, you may want to increase the volume. But if you turn it up too much, you run the risk of hearing damage.

3) Choose the right headphones - You'll get more bass from headphones that are "closed back" or padded earbuds than from "open air" or unpadded earbuds, which let in more outside noise. So when shopping for new headphones, look for terms like "supra-aural" or "closed back."

4) Use the equalizer on your device - If your music player has an equalizer option and contains presets for different types of music (hip hop, classical, rock), switch to a setting that's most appropriate for your music. Then adjust the equalizer on your device if the beat is too hard or soft.

5) Try new headphones - If your old headphones aren't getting any better, it may be time to replace them. In addition to sound quality, look for comfort, fit and durability when buying new headphones. You've probably had your current pair for years, so don't assume that a new model will be much better than what you already have.

6) Don't leave them in a hot car - If you want to get the best sound possible from your headphones, don't keep them in a hot car; not only will they get worn out faster, but the heat can cause them to malfunction or break.

7) Use a compatible cable - If you intend on using your headphones with two different devices, make sure they're compatible. If you notice a significant difference in sound quality, you may want to try to use a different cable with the other device.

8) Clean them regularly - When you take your headphones off at the end of the day and put them into their case, make sure to blow them out with compressed air or turn them upside down and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. This will remove any dust or debris from inside the earbud housing.

9) Store them properly - When you put your headphones into the case, make sure that the plug is facing down or to the side to prevent them from being bent. If you're not going to be using your headphones for a few days, remove and store the earbuds -- but never store them in their case for an extended period of time.

10) Lower the volume if you're hearing static - If you notice static coming out of your headphones, turn down your volume instead of turning up the bass. Static can be caused by playing music at an excessively loud volume.

11) Find the right fit - Not all earbud tips are created equal; some may work better than others depending on your ears.
