What you get

You get louder Mac audio with sound tailored to your listening.

With Boom 3D, you can raise playback volume beyond your Mac’s default maximum when quiet audio is hard to hear. You can also get a simulated surround-sound effect through your built-in speakers or headphones, without needing a multi-speaker setup.

You can shape the sound around what you’re listening to rather than use the same settings for everything. Choose presets for different genres and activities, or adjust the equalizer yourself to change the balance of bass and treble. Separate app volume settings let you keep music prominent while turning down other apps, instead of changing the volume of your entire Mac.

You can play your music directly in Boom 3D, too. If you want to adjust playback away from your desk, the optional Boom Remote companion on your iPhone or iPad lets you change songs and audio levels around your home.

    You can push playback above your Mac’s default volume limit when the usual maximum isn’t enough.

  • Get surround-style listening

  • Balance apps separately

    You can keep music loud while lowering other apps, without turning down everything on your Mac.

  • Match your listening preferences

    You can choose genre and activity presets or adjust bass and treble yourself.

    With the optional Boom Remote companion, you can change songs and levels using your iPhone or iPad.

Best for

  • You struggle to hear quiet audio at your Mac’s maximum volume
