This Mac app makes cheap headphones sound way better

There's an app for Macs called Boom 2 that helps unleash the true potential of any headphones, including those cheap earbuds that came with your smartphone purchase.

The app helps boost certain levels of sound, like bass, mids, and treble to give your music a clearer, richer sound.

There's also a special option that makes you feel like you're on stage with your favorite band or artist, and it's amazing. It'll sound like your headphones just woke up and spread their wings.

Without the app, my music sounds flat, constrained, and muffled.

Yes, Boom 2 costs $15, which does seem expensive for an app. At the same time, we write about and recommend products worth hundreds, even thousands of dollars, so this app is a comparative drop in the bucket. Boom 2 is also a one-time purchase that you can keep forever and transfer to new Macs.

Here's how it works.

Find the Boom 2 app in the Mac App Store and buy it.

Once installed, you'll see the Boom symbol on the menu bar at the top of your Mac's screen. Click it and click the the button with the three dots. Start playing music so you can hear the difference when you change the settings in Boom 2.

In the Boom 2 menu, turn off the Boom Volume at the top. All it does is boost your Mac's overall volume, which you most likely don't need.
