Once you have downloaded, installed, and synchronized your equalizer app, you must open your Spotify home page. Click on Settings (top right button with the gear) > Music Quality.

If you already have an equalizer app installed, an option called Equalizer will appear. Clicking on it will open the sound control panel where you can configure it to your taste. If you've never modified an equalizer before, we recommend that you try until you find the exact point you like best. Here are some small tips to get started.

The bars on the left correspond to the bass, and the bars on the right control the treble. If you want to give more strength to these high-pitched sounds, we recommend you upload these markers.

Launch Windows 10 and click on the sound icon. Then select Sounds and choose the device you play music through. Select Properties and go to Sound effects. Here you can tick the bass boost option, and adjust other sound settings.
