This is the easiest yet most expensive way to get the most volume out of your smartphone. Buying quality in-ear or over-ear headphones can be an expensive move, but if you get the right product, it will be worth it. There are several options on the market that you can choose from. Many are designed to cancel noise outside the headphones to ensure the best audio experience.
This method will be costly, but it is a possible option for true music lovers. For some of these music lovers, more than just getting the best headphones are required. This group of users go to get a digital to analog audio converter. DACs handle Bluetooth and wired hands-free audio setups. Using this tool, in addition to a louder sound, you will get a higher quality output from your smartphone to be hands-free. Some DACs also offer wireless connectivity for Bluetooth hands-free.
If none of the above solves your problem, the problem may be simpler than you think. If you use wired hands-free to enjoy music, try cleaning the 3.5mm jack. The headphone jack (if present) is prone to attracting dust in the long run. You can use a clean ear to clean the hands-free input.
Similarly, in-ear headphones, especially the silicone series, require regular cleaning. Getting the handsfree dirty is normal and not a big deal, but cleaning it can be helpful. This is easy to do. To clean the dust that enters the hands-free sound channel, blow into it (remove the silicone series first.)
Also, always ensure that the 3.5mm metal end of the wired hands-free is clean and especially not wet before using them. Otherwise, your phone may be damaged.
Do you use Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music or Soundcloud services? By default, the streaming quality on these platforms is either set to auto or the lowest possible. Therefore, there is a possibility that the quality of playing music in these programs is low due to the low speed of the Internet.
This sound quality can also affect the volume. In the Spotify application, by going to the settings and in the Audio Quality section, then Streaming quality, select the music playback quality from automatic, low, medium, high and very high. Other streaming apps have similar settings, although the naming and path may differ.
Android phone owners can check the sound settings in the Sound and Vibration section of the settings. Find the Sound quality and effects section at the bottom of the settings list to check the sound quality. By entering it, you will have access to the equalizer settings of your Android phone. Here you can use the manufacturer’s default modes. These modes can be rock, hip-hop, jazz, classical, etc. Select the mode you want or enter the correct settings manually.
Note that the exact path of these settings and how to change them may differ depending on your Android phone manufacturer.
The Android operating system has plenty of excellent and high-quality music players. By changing your music player, you may notice an increase in the volume of your Samsung or other brands of hands-free. Especially if you use the main players of your phone, third-party players usually offer more features and better sound quality.
In the following, we will see that you will have access to the equalizer settings in the settings of Android phones. However, some players allow you to adjust the Bluetooth and wired hands-free sound through the equalizer settings. In addition to players, you can use advanced third-party applications to adjust your equalizer and sound. Note that only some equalizers will work on your ears. These programs increase the quality and sometimes the intensity of the phone’s sound.
