How to Set Apple Music Equalizer?

Apple Music Equalizer allows you to adjust the audio settings to modify the sound output according to your preferences. It consists of a set of preset equalizer options and also provides the ability to manually customize the equalizer settings.

The preset equalizer options are pre-defined configurations designed to enhance the audio for specific music genres or styles. These presets include settings like Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, and more. Each preset adjusts the audio frequencies to emphasize or de-emphasize certain aspects of the sound to suit the particular genre.

In addition to the preset options, the Apple Music Equalizer also allows you to manually adjust the equalizer settings. This enables you to fine-tune the individual frequency bands, such as the bass, treble, or mid-range, by increasing or decreasing their levels. By customizing the equalizer, you can tailor the sound output to your personal preferences or compensate for specific audio characteristics of your listening environment or equipment.

The Apple Music Equalizer is available in the Apple Music app on various devices, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac, providing you the flexibility to optimize your music listening experience according to your desired sound profile.

However, some other equalizer apps can't apply equalizer directly to Apple Music songs because of DRM protection. DRM protection prevents third-party apps from applying sound effects to your Apple Music songs.

If you want to bypass Apple Music's DRM protection and use third-party equalizer apps to customize your audio sound, you can buy songs from iTunes. But you're already subscribed to Apple Music, and it seems unreasonable to buy songs again from iTunes.
