How to make headphones louder?

1. Cleaning must be your First Priority.

Whenever you feel that your headphones are not playing sound as they used to when they were new, I highly recommend you clean them first and try to reuse them.

When we purchase a new pair of headphones, they are absolutely clean and work accurately. But as time passes, they get some dust, some impurities from your ears, and sometimes some impurities when we carelessly put them on our table or somewhere else.

Such impurities could block some of the sounds in your earbuds/ ear cups or affect your headphones’ performance.

Now the question comes, how do you clean them?

You can use cotton swabs, alcohol wipes, or a small cloth to clean your headphones, prolonging their lifespan and sound quality.

Use a cloth dipped in alcohol which you can use to wipe your earbuds. Take a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol as they air dry and clean the crevices.

In the next step, you can dab a small cloth or an alcohol wipe gently against the mesh to sanitize and clean the dirt or wax present in it.

Now put them for drying and then reassemble them.

If you have a pair of wireless earbuds, I recommend you use a small toothbrush or slightly damp cotton swab. Use it to brush the earbud’s mesh until it’s free of dirt ( do it softly).

If your headphones have silicone ear tips, you can remove them and let them soak in soapy water for three to five minutes and let them dry and place them again.

2. Remove the Volume limits on your Device.

Have you ever observed that whenever you connect your headphones to your Device and try to increase the Volume, then after a certain setting, your Device does not allow you to increase it, or sometimes it shows a warning if you still try to improve it?

It is placed as per the multiple guidelines of the government. The rules suggest that there will be a volume limit for the MP3 players and smartphones to 120 decibels in US and 85 decibels in Europe.

You can remove this limit by going to sound settings or disabling this warning bar in the settings. This will increase the sound of your headphones.

3. Use Volume Boosting Applications.

As you tried to remove the volume limit bar and still did not get enough sound while playback, I recommend you use some of the Volume Boosting Applications.

Let me explain. Do you ever played a video in your Gallery and again played the same video in a third-party application such as MX-player or VLC player ( available for both Android and Windows).

You will find the difference in the audio quality. Such applications are the volume-boosting applications you can use to boost your sound while listening to music.

According to the Soundgearlab, the table below contains the different Volume boosting applications for the various devices you can use.
