Many of us use our smartphones as our primary device for listening to music on the go and even though smartphones are getting bigger over the last couple of years, manufacturers don’t seem to be paying too much attention to speakers or the overall audio output in general. That might not stand true for some manufacturers like Google and LG, who are still including stereo front firing speakers and dedicated DACs on their devices. But a vast majority of the smartphones these days have feeble sounding speakers and disappointing audio output via the headphone jack (if they haven’t removed it already). That is where volume booster apps for Android come into play.
Many of these volume booster apps have similar names, so make sure to use links given below to to download the apps.
Volume Booster – Speaker Booster is an Android volume booster app that lets you increase the volume of your phone speaker’s more than what the native system allows. If you connect your phone to a speaker using the headphone jack, you can even increase the overall output of the speaker. It even works with headphones, so you are covered no matter how you are listening to your audio. Whether you’re listening to music, playing games, or watching movies on Netflix, this app can enhance all the sound volume.
Another great volume booster app for Android is the Super Volume Booster. First of all, I love the UI of this app. Not that it’s much different from other apps, it just somehow looks cleaner and more refined. It also offers various themes that change the look of the app. The app is very lightweight and doesn’t require much system resources. It supports all audio, video, and game sounds and increases the volume without decreasing the audio quality. Like the app mentioned above, the app gives you a live sound spectrum when you are playing a song in the background.
One thing that I love about this app is that it enhances the stereo sound volume without distorting the stereo effect. That makes listening to music enjoyable when you are using a headphone. The app also brings audio controls when playing a song so you can easily change or play/pause songs. This one is also free to use with ads not being too intrusive. Overall a really good app that lets you boost audio on your Android device.
Next up is an app that some of you Mac users might already be familiar with – Boom: Music Player, Bass Booster & Equalizer. The music player features a ton of customizations to improve the overall sound output from your Android device, including a setting which boosts the volume. Boom also features a 3D surround sound setting with customizations that give you more granular control over the audio output and a decent equalizer to allow you to customize the sound profile.

Another great music player that you can use as a volume booster for your Android device is the BlackPlayer music player. The app features a five channel equalizer along with a sound effects feature which will allow you to tinker with the audio output of your device. The sound effects menu within the app is where you’ll find the ‘Amplifier’ setting, using which you can boost the volume by up to 4 dB which can significantly enhance your listening experience.
5. Super Loud Phone Volume (Speakers, Volume Booster)
Super Loud Phone Volume is a really good Volume Booster app for Android. It lets you adjust sound effect levels so that you get the best out of music or audio coming out of your phone. Whether you are talking to someone on the phone, streaming music, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, or watching movies, this app will improve your audio experience. It even comes with a built-in music player that lets you both play songs and use the equalizer and music spectrum. One thing that I like about this app is that it not only boosts volume for phone speakers but also headphones.
Precise Volume is another great equalizer/booster combo available on the Play Store using which you can significantly improve the audio output from your Android device. As the name suggests, Precise Volume gives you more precise control over the audio output with a 5 band equalizer with some equalizer presets and a boost feature which will allow you to pump up the bass, add a surround sound effect to the audio and, most importantly, increase the overall loudness of the audio.
Next up is Volume Booster GOODEV, which is a barebones volume booster like the first app on our list. The app has a single boost slider which allows you to amplify the volume by up to 60% by default, with the option to increase it even further from within the settings. Much like the Volume Booster app at the top of the list, the Volume Booster GOODEV app features a maximum allowed boost limitation and a boost on boot feature. The settings you choose within the app are applied all throughout the system, allowing you to enjoy the amplified sound output from any app.

Volume Booster Pro is another quite simple app that allows you to boost the overall audio output from your Android device. The app has a fairly straightforward user interface with a large volume knob in the middle that controls the master volume, a boost toggle which amplifies the sound, and three dedicated buttons that allow you to boost the volume of media playback, calls and alarms.
Bonus: Viper4Android (rooted devices only)
But that’s not all. In case you have a rooted device, you shouldn’t even bother with any of the aforementioned apps and flash Viper4Android on your device. Undoubtedly the best audio enhancement tool for Android devices, Viper4Android is chock full of features that will allow you to completely customize the audio output from your smartphone. Not only does the app feature a competent audio amplifier, it also features a host of other features with which you can improve the audio profile.
