Top 5 Equalizer and Music Player Apps for Android

Whether you’re looking to enjoy your music with a new app or just touch up the sound coming out of your device, our list of the Top 10 Equalizer and Music Player Apps for Android should help you out.



If you’re looking for a music player that can play local content on your phone as well as help give your device a little boost, Dub is a good option. With a UI that should remind some users of their HiFi from back in the day, Dub is a simple, easy-to-use alternative to your built-in music player. It still needs a little work, but there’s a good handful of presets as well as custom 5-band equalizer that can help bring out the best in your music. It’ll also work just fine over Bluetooth and with controls on your headset, too.



If you want an app that can help spruce up the overall sound on your smartphone without having to go too crazy with in-depth settings, then Equalizer is a nice option. As you might have imagined, this is an Android app that changes the sound on your device to how you like it. There are 11 presets included and you can always adjust things manually if you wish. With widgets for your homescreens and some other tricks up its sleeves, Equalizer is a pretty straightforward app that has a good amount to offer.



Let’s say you have a lot of music on your tablet or smartphone and the music app that came with your device just isn’t cutting it. This is where DoubleTwist can help, with a super-slick UI and yes, some very decent equalization options. As a music player though, it’s one of the best out there, with some excellent tricks up its sleeve. You can think of DoubleTwist as more of an ecosystem than anything else, with lots of add-ons and such to make the whole experience of finding and listening to music on your Android device much more appealing.



We reviewed this app not too long ago and while the sound quality does decrease a little when you boost that volume, it really does work. We can’t expect miracles from these small speakers that the majority of phones are born with, and if you have an HTC One then you need not apply. However, for those times when all you need is something louder, this works fairly well and as the name suggests, it’s really easy to use and doesn’t ask much from its users to get working.



What has to be one of the best all-round players for those who really care about their music, Poweramp has been at the top for years. Not only does it have that whole “I’m a HiFi” vibe going on, it’s also one of the most powerful and configurable equalizers out there. It’s got a good-looking UI to it, works well on smartphones or tablets and there’s a lot to it, this isn’t an app that you’re likely find a limit to what it can do, with lots of settings that make a genuine change to how the music sounds in those fancy headphones of yours. One of the best out there, Poweramp is the music player for the discerning listener.
