Enhance Your YouTube Audio: Chrome and Firefox Equalizer Extensions
YouTube remains my go-to for songs and videos, offering a vast archive catering to every mood and taste. Yet, while reveling in its diverse library, one noticeable miss is the lack of Equalizer Support, preventing customization of audio output according to personal preferences.
However, there’s hope. A couple of Firefox and Chrome extensions come to the rescue, offering enhanced audio quality through equalizer support. If you’re familiar with graphic equalizers, these tools are user-friendly and can significantly improve your listening experience.
Note: Installing multiple audio equalizers can affect overall sound output, so install and test them one at a time.
Equalizer for YouTube (Chrome and Firefox)
Meet “Equalizer for YouTube,” a smart extension tweaking the sound of YouTube videos, even those embedded on websites. With several presets available, it’s perfect for those seeking sound modification without much hassle.
Simply install the extension, and an equalizer icon appears below the video title. Click on it to access presets and pick one to experience a subtle change in music output. While basic in EQ control, it lacks band control and doesn’t allow saving custom settings. Yet, it’s a handy tool for effortless sound adjustment.
In the case of embedded videos, settings adjustments require viewing YouTube videos directly. If you enjoy instrumentals, exploring tracks like the Game of Thrones theme by 2CELLOS could be a treat.
