Love the app, but I have some suggestions.

I love this app and it is very good. It allows you to fine tune an equalizer for your mac’s sound output, for better sound performance. It also allows you to set sound effects such as change the pitch, increase fidelity, increase spatiality, and increase loudness of your mac’s speakers. You can also increase the loudness of your sound files (I dont use these. I mainly use the EQ and boost feature for my Mac output). In the begining, it walks you through the setup and defaults to a calibration that is loud and has better bass compared to the standard EQ on your mac. The Boom's preset EQ for your mac is ok but I have managed to do better by calibrating my mac’s speakers with a mic myself, which, I have found, yields better and flatter frequency response and bass down to about 120-ish Hz. However, note There is a risk to damaging your mac’s speakers if you output sounds that are too loud for them to reproduce (I’m not sure if Boom protects against that or not, however thankfully I have not blown my speakers). Some suggestions about the db limits: they only go to +-12db; Providing a greater range (like Apples AU EQ +-24db) would be better. Another gripe I have about it is that sometimes after I quit boom, the sound output does not switch back to the default sound output. Lastly, I think that when I have boom running and I am in a sound call, the left speaker is not disabled, so sound gets recorded through the mic which is not good for call quality (I believe this is one of the limitations mentioned by the developers above). Other than that, it is very good and recommended.
I love all the options it provides!

I use my Macbook Pro both as a laptop and as a desktop. When using it as a laptop, I have found that BOOM 2 provides tremendous enhancement, especially in the low end, providing a much fuller sound. I use multiple different settings depending on if I am watching a video or playing music. The presets work pretty good for music when using the laptop speakers, which is a feature they advertise. When you install the software it matches preset modes to the known hardware in your particular MacBook Model.When using my laptop as a desktop with my external Bose Speakers, I don’t use the equalizer much, if at all, but I love the “Night Mode” for watching movies. It maintains the Bose sound quality, but seems to logically compress the extreme volume differences found in movies with some sort of auto volume adjust method, of which they give you control over, allowing you to vary the amount of effect. Whatever they are doing, it’s working for me and I don’t have to continually adjust the volume late at night when the action scenes ramp up. I am very satisfied with the product and recommend it for those wanting more out of the wimpy speakers that come with laptops. While Apple laptop doesn’t sound bad, for a laptop, BOOM 2 allows me to squeeze as much as possible out of the provided hardware. Considering how small the Apple Speakers are, I was impressed prior to getting BOOM 2, however, using BOOM 2 is like a hardware upgrade without the hardware upgrade.
I Can’t Imagine Living Without This App!

It was always frustrating to hear some low level voices when I was listening to Podcasts on my Macbook Pro and walked away to do other things. And, as might be expected, music sounded tinny, but I didnt want to invest in computer speakers since my laptop is my 2nd floor computer and there isn’t a lot of room where I use it. This app has resolved both volume level for Podcasts and improved the quality of music when I want to listen to Apple Music while I work. I agree with the other reviewer who says it should be included or recommended with the purchase of every Mac. Most of us have quality speakers and/or headphones for serious music appreciation/listening. But the choice of putting on headphones or purchasing redundant and pricey speakers for multiple areas of our workspace or homes where use our laptops is neither possible nor practical. Boom 2 fills that vast void between low volume/ tinny sound; and Audiophile quality. Not only does the spoken word sound richer, clearer, with amplified volume, but Boom 2 also adds enough quality to music to make it enjoyable. Being able to adjust the EQ for each, makes a huge difference. Thank You!
The best option for audio minded people

I work in professional audio and find myself often bouncing around between my work studio monitors, home studio monitors, living room speakers, and various pairs of headphones. This app has been amazing to use to not only have more control over my listening experience, but to better match each of these listening environments with presets. Yes you should be using SMAART or Sonarworks if you're serious about tuning your listening room or speakers, but if you're looking for something much simpler to give you some basic control, this is the app to get. The only thing I'd like to see in future iterations of this program is the ability to use an RTA mic through an interface to properly analyze and equalize your listening space, along with maybe some guides for people who would be afraid to venture into something that advanced.
Take your audio experience up a notch with new presets, broader headphone support, and more powerful EQ tools.
