Clean your headphones

You must clean your headphones periodically. Because, when you use them for a long time every day, dust and dirt particles can interrupt the sound from the headphones and long-time use of headphones create heat in the ear canal which eventually results in ear wax. Thus, the headphones’ outer layer is blocked due to the ear wax.

You can clean your headphones with a soft cloth and toothpick. You should make sure all the connections are accurate and there is no wire burnt or disconnected from the headphones.

Clean the ear tips with soapy water and then let them dry. It will help remove any ear wax. You can clean your earbuds with a dry toothbrush by simply rubbing them on the mesh of the earbuds. Now, you can wash them with a dampened cloth and afterward simply dry them.

You might have used amplifiers in your room to make the sound of the music punchy and louder. Some people really like to listen to music at a louder sound level.

There are amplifiers inside your mobile and tablet devices that are just made to reach the music and sound to you but they are not built to give you real music pleasure and louder sound. But with the use of power amplifiers with your headphones, you can make the louder.

Turn up all the knobs

There are some cases where we have seen that the music player, headphones, or earbuds volume are turned down but our device music is playing at high volume, despite all that we are not listening to the music at a louder level.

We must make sure that our headphones’ volume knob is turned up.

We may have seen some gaming apps which use their personalized setting and in some cases, they may impact overall device settings. We must ensure that there is no hindrance by the apps which are lowering the volume of the music and thus headphones are not giving louder volume.

Adjust EQ settings

You can try using any third-party Equalizer app which will boost the volume of the headphones and work as a sound gainer between your device and headphones.

You may experience some of the apps which are available in the play store which help to increase the volume and add an extra layer of volume booster between the device and headphones.

For Android

You can download and use Volume Booster Pro, and Volume Booster Sound Equalizer which will increase the normal volume of your headphones from the device.

You can install and try Equalizer Pro Volume Booster and SonicMax Pro Music Volume Booster which will surely work to boost the headphones’ volume.

For Windows

You have the best options in the form of Equalizer Pro and Breakaway Audio Enhancer which will increase the volume of your device.

You must try these apps carefully as they are all “use at your own risk” and they can be so louder to damage your hearing.

Select best headphones

If you are getting too many noises from the background which are also hearable from the headphones when you listen to music, you should upgrade your headphones or earbuds if you use them.

You can try noise-canceling headphones which will work well to give your listening experience a boost and will block ambient noises thus increasing the headphone’s sound.

You must check other features in a headphone like Bluetooth connectivity which is not strong in some headphones and disconnect them from their connected device.

Connect to Bluetooth

One of the simplest methods to increase the volume of your device. You can attach a speaker with a Bluetooth connection to increase the volume. Speakers are an easy way to adjust the music sound level at your will and set them accordingly.
