Listening to music through earphones allows you to have a more private and intimate experience. Additionally, earphones also allow you to enjoy your music without annoying other people, which is great if you still live at home or have roommates.
One problem that a lot of people experience with earphones is disturbing sound or interference. If you experience these issues, then you needn’t worry– this post’s got you covered.
Here are six handy tips that will help you to get the best possible sound from your earphones, when you are listening to music, a podcast, or are just on the phone:
Battery
If you are an Air Pod user, then you may have occasionally experienced issues with your device’s sound. The main reason for sound problems in Air Pods is a lack of charging. Sometimes these devices don’t charge properly. When they aren’t fully charged, then they won’t be able to produce quality sound. In fact, if they aren’t charged then they might not be able to produce any sound at all. Fortunately, it is relatively easy to fix the problem, all you need to do is to read online guides or take your device to an official Apple store and ask them to help you fix it. If you have an imitation Apple product, then you will need to contact the manufacturer in order to find out how to repair your device and restore its sound quality.
Streaming
Something else that you might want to consider if your earphone’s audio quality isn’t good is the streaming service that you are using to listen to music. Sometimes, streaming services (whether due to bad internet or a bad host), experience delays and lags. When the service that you are using begins lagging, the music that you are listening to could become crackly or slow. This will definitely impact your listening experience but isn’t connected to your earphones. You need to rule out whether there is another cause for your poor sound quality before you begin investigating your earphones and assuming that they are the cause.
Files
Another thing that’s worth considering if you are listening to music from your computer or laptop, using digital files, is the sound quality of the file that are you using. Again, it could just be that the reason your earphones aren’t producing good sound quality is that your audio files are low-quality. The best way to determine whether or not it’s your audio files that are to blame is to play them without your earphones in, from your device’s speakers. If the sound that is produced isn’t high-quality, then it is very likely that it is the file to blame and not your earphones.
Quiet
Another way to improve the sound quality of your earphones is to go into a quiet room. Unless you have specialized noise-blocking earphones, then people talking or watching the television will interfere with your listening experience. Getting away from ambient noise can make using your earphones a lot more pleasant. A good place to go to get away from ambient noise is a quiet room. If you go out in public, then it’s inevitable– there’s no way for you to avoid it. With that said, you could buy noise-canceling headphones. They will help you to block out all ambient noise.
EQ Settings
Another way of improving your earphone’s sound quality is to adjust your EQ settings. Your device’s EQ settings will allow you to isolate certain frequencies, boost them, or lower them. If you put your earphones on and turn on some music or a podcast, then adjust your EQ settings, you will get a better idea of what’s perfect for you. You should play around with your settings until you find the setting that’s right (this can take some time). It’s worth bearing in mind that different songs will react differently to altered EQ settings. Some might sound good, while others might not.
Quality Earphones
The last thing that you might want to consider is to invest in a new set of earphones. The quality of your earphones significantly influences listening quality. Well-made earphones can be very expensive but are a fantastic investment. If you cannot afford to buy new earphones outright, then you may want to consider buying a pair second-hand or refurbished from an electronics store. As long as you thoroughly clean your earphones when buying second-hand ones, you shouldn’t have any issues with them.
If you enjoy listening to music or podcasts through earphones, then improving sound quality is likely something that you are concerned with. Investing in a pair of high-quality earphones is definitely the best way to ensure good sound quality, but you can also increase sound quality by playing around with EQ settings and making sure that your earphones are working as they should be.
