How To Adjust The Bass Of An Apple Airpod

The amazing things about AirPods is that you get to customize your own experience. You can listen to music whenever you want while having your hands free to do other tasks, but that’s not all. You can also customize the sound, bass, acoustics, etc.

New users sometimes don’t know how to change the settings, or they are not even aware of their Airpods full capabilities. Many people would like to change the bass, but they are unsure how to do it. Whether you want to increase or decrease the bass, our guide can help you.

Can You Control the Bass on Airpods?

Apple’s Airpods produce excellent audio quality and pretty decent bass. However, Apple doesn’t give us an option to control the bass specifically. But fortunately, there are things you can control to increase your music’s bass and sound quality.

This article will take you through everything you need to know about making your music sound better with Apple’s Airpods.

How to Increase the Bass on Airpods

Although Apple doesn’t give us the option to adjust the bass on our Airpods, there are some things you can do to make the sound quality better. Here are some things to try.

Turn on the Bass Booster

One of the first things you should do is turn on the bass booster if you haven’t done that already. If you’re streaming Apple Music, you can enable the Bass Booster for a more hearty listening experience.

Here is how to enable the Bass Booster for Apple Music:

1. Open the Settings on your iPhone and tap Music.
2. Tap on EQ.
3. Tap on Bass Booster so that the blue checkmark appears next to it.

Apple’s Bass Booster will significantly improve your listening experience. Most users who have tried this have found the feature sufficient and didn’t need to do anything else.

However, note that this will only improve the bass when you are listening to music that you downloaded in the Music app. Unfortunately, this option won’t help when you are using YouTube, Google Play Music, or any other website.

Increase the Bass on Your Music Streaming App

Assuming you use another platform such as Spotify or Pandora, you can alter the audio quality settings for a more robust sound. Since we can’t adjust the bass on the Airpods, we can tweak settings in the streaming apps for better bass.

If you’re using Spotify, follow these steps:

1. Open Spotify and tap the Settings cog in the upper right corner.
2. Scroll through the menu and select Audio Quality.
3. Keep scrolling and toggle the option next to Normalize Audio off.
4. Scroll some more and toggle off the option next to Auto Adjust Audio.

Now, you may need to play around with some of these audio settings to see which ones work best for you. But, Spotify gives you many options to control sound quality and, therefore, the bass.

If you use Pandora, you should know that there is no equalizer or bass control. But that doesn’t mean you can’t tweak some settings to increase the bass. Here’s what you can do:

1. Open Pandora and tap on Profile in the bottom right corner.
2. Next, tap Advanced in the menu.
3. Toggle the switch next to Higher quality audio so that it turns blue.

Pandora features an option to help save battery life and cellular data. When the Higher Quality Audio function is enabled, the app prioritizes music features like bass for better listening.
