Best Spotify Equalizer Settings

[Arianahuynh]

I’m looking for recommendations on the best Spotify equalizer settings to improve sound quality. Any tips based on music genres or listening preferences would be helpful.

Optimal settings will vary based on the taste in music, however, adding extra bass, adjusting the mids and highs may increase the clarity in pop, hip-hop or rock music.

The best Spotify equalizer settings depend on your taste, but a balanced preset works well. Slightly boost bass for depth, keep mids neutral for vocals, and raise treble gently for clarity without distortion or harshness.

Boost deep bass by raising 60 Hz to +4–5 (closest to 50 Hz). Add +2 at 150 Hz for fullness. Reduce muddiness with 0 or −1 at 400 Hz. Enhance clarity using +1 at 1 kHz, +2 at 2.4 kHz, and +3 at 15 kHz.

There is not a single "best" Spotify equalizer, as it varies according to your headphones and music taste, but a good all-around setting would be to slightly boost the bass (low frequencies), keep the mids balanced, and add a small treble boost for clarity. This results in a punchy bass, vocals that are clear, and highs that are crisp without any distortion, and it is suitable for most genres such as pop, hip-hop, and rock.

The best Spotify equalizer settings vary by music type. Generally, boost bass for hip-hop, increase treble for vocals, keep mids balanced, and experiment with presets. Adjust sliders subtly to match your headphones and personal listening preference for optimal sound.

Your settings are determined by the best suited gear and genre, however, to achieve a good, punchy, clear sound (the Perfection curve), you may use the following adjustments:

• Bass (60Hz–150Hz): +3 to +4 dB
• Mid (400Hz–1kHz): -1 to -2 dB
• Treble (2.4kHz–15kHz): +2 to +3 dB
