The problem

Why Bluetooth headphones sound flat on Windows

The same headphones sound fine on a phone and dull on a laptop. It is not your ears, it is three things Windows never does.

Every model is tuned differently

Each pair of headphones has its own frequency response: boomy bass here, a treble peak there. Windows plays all of them exactly the same. Correction profiles measured for more than 6,000 models fix that with one checkbox.

Windows picks the codec for you

The built-in Bluetooth audio driver streams SBC at a conservative bitrate and never tells you. Our own driver opens SBC bitpool, LDAC 990/660/330 kbps, adaptive bitrate and buffer size, so the link matches your headphones instead of the lowest common denominator.

No system-wide EQ or effects

Player equalizers only touch that player. Our processing sits inside the Windows audio engine on your output device, so browsers, games, calls and every app go through the same 32-band parametric EQ and effects.

What you get

Everything the built-in Bluetooth driver leaves out

One quiet app in the tray. Simple presets for everyone, full manual control for enthusiasts.

Headphone correction

Profiles for 6,000+ headphones, earbuds and speakers, built from measurements. Your model is matched automatically; pick another by name if you like.

32-band parametric EQ

Peaking, shelf and pass filters with frequency, gain and Q, drag the curve directly. Presets you can save per device.

Honest effects

Loudness, night mode, crossfeed, bass, clarity, stereo width, leveler and a true-peak limiter. Each one explained in plain words, each one off by default.

One-click presets

Neutral, music, movies, games, calls, night and more, with a recommendation for your type of device. Switch Enhanced and Original with a hotkey while music plays.

Bluetooth codec control beta

Our own Bluetooth audio driver: SBC with adjustable bitpool, LDAC at 990, 660 or 330 kbps, adaptive bitrate, buffer size, one-click reconnect. Today for enthusiasts with driver test mode; the signed release for every PC is a free update.

Light and quiet

About 70 MB of memory, under 1 % CPU at idle, 0.6 s to open. No virtual audio devices, no added latency, keeps working with the window closed.

How it works

Inside the Windows audio engine, not on top of it

Most “sound boosters” add a virtual device and re-route your audio through it. We do not. The processing registers as an audio effect on your real output device, exactly where Windows runs its own enhancements.

Result: no extra device in Sound settings, no latency, nothing to re-select when you switch headphones. Close the app, the sound stays enhanced.

See it

Ninety seconds, from install to “oh, that’s the difference”

The product video is being recorded. Until then, the free trial is the demo: install, pick your headphones, press the compare hotkey.

Install

Four steps, about two minutes

The installer brings everything it needs, including the .NET runtime. No reboot, no driver replacement for the basic setup.

Download and run the installer

One file, about 30 MB. Windows SmartScreen may warn about a new publisher: click More info, then Run anyway. The app needs no account and makes no network requests except the optional update check.

Pick your headphones

Connected Bluetooth devices appear in the left pane. The app looks your model up and offers its correction profile; tick it, or choose a model by name.

Click “Install engine”, then “Restart audio”

The engine registers on the device. One restart of the Windows audio service (sound pauses for about two seconds) and it is live for every app.

Compare

Play music and switch between Enhanced and Original with Ctrl + Alt + A. Then try a preset or open the equalizer.

Codec control needs our Bluetooth driver. It is in beta: it installs on PCs with driver test mode enabled (Secure Boot off) and is meant for enthusiasts. The signed release that installs on any PC is on the roadmap and will be a free update for every license.

FAQ

Questions people ask before installing

Why do my Bluetooth headphones sound worse on Windows than on my phone?

Windows plays every headphone with the same flat tuning, picks the Bluetooth codec and bitrate for you (usually SBC at a conservative bitpool) and has no system-wide equalizer or effects. Phones ship with per-model tuning and better codec negotiation. The app puts per-model correction, a parametric EQ and effects inside the Windows audio engine; our driver adds the codec control.

Does it work with every app and game?

Yes. The processing runs inside the Windows audio engine as an audio effect on your output device, so browsers, players, games and calls all go through it. Exclusive-mode players that bypass the Windows mixer are the one exception. It keeps working after you close the window.

Does Windows 11 support LDAC or aptX?

Not with the built-in Bluetooth audio driver, which streams SBC (and AAC on recent builds). LDAC needs a different driver on the PC side. Our own driver supports SBC and LDAC with quality and bitrate control; it is in beta for enthusiasts today, and the signed release for every PC is on the roadmap as a free update. aptX is a licensed codec and is not planned.

Which headphones are supported?

Any Bluetooth headphones, earbuds or speaker that Windows can pair with. Correction profiles exist for more than 6,000 models; the app matches yours automatically and lets you pick another by name. Without a profile you still get the equalizer, presets and effects.

SmartScreen says “unknown publisher”. Is the installer safe?

The installer is new and not yet code-signed, so SmartScreen shows the standard warning for new publishers. Click More info, then Run anyway. The app needs no account, makes no network requests except the optional update check, and stores everything on your PC. Uninstall restores the original Windows audio settings.

Is there a trial? Can I get a refund?

Every feature works for 14 days without a key. The license is a one-time purchase for up to 3 of your PCs. If it does not work for you, write to us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. See the refund policy.

How light is it?

About 70 MB of memory with the window open, under 1 % CPU at idle, 0.6 s to start. The processing itself lives in the Windows audio service and costs a fraction of a millisecond per buffer, with no added latency.

Does it collect data?

No. There are no accounts, no telemetry and no analytics in the app. The only optional request is a version check against this site. Logs stay on your PC. See the privacy policy.
