Best Audio Equalizers of 2026

"I was looking for a way to improve my bass and overall sound without spending too much. After connecting the Rockville RQ42 to my Yamaha receiver and Cerwin Vega speakers, I was impressed by the noticeable difference in sound quality. The sliders feel a bit plasticky, but once set, I rarely adjust them. The LED lights are bright but not bothersome, and the equalizer is simple to use. I recommend this EQ for anyone on a budget looking to get more out of their home audio."

"I paired this equalizer with my vintage Pioneer tube SX-34 to compensate for weaker lows. The 21-band EQ is very linear and lets me fine-tune my sound just right. The blue LED is sometimes too bright at night, but it does help confirm my adjustments. The graphic display is more of a signal indicator than a true analyzer, but overall, I find this a pretty solid equalizer for home use."

"While this isn't the highest-end EQ I've owned, it definitely does its job well for the price. There are a lot of bands to adjust, so it takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's straightforward. The spectrum analyzer is just an input level indicator, but I don't need instructions to set it up. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to upgrade their home system affordably and already knows their way around stereo gear."

"I installed this on my 18 ft dual axle trailer and it works great. The quality seems solid and I haven’t had any issues so far."

"This was a perfect match for my Dexter/Alko 5200 lb axles. The fit with upgraded brass bushings was just right, and it was way more affordable and faster than buying from local shops."

"I needed to replace the equalizers on my 3500 lbs axles after rough roads messed up the bushings. These were exact replacements, fit perfectly, and the swap was quick—even including the time I spent searching for dropped lug nuts!"

"I used this equalizer to fine-tune my stereo system, referencing my audiologist's report and making a few adjustments. Setup was straightforward, and I appreciated the multiple RCA inputs and rack-mounting brackets included. The sound quality met my expectations, and the illuminated sliders were a nice touch. Overall, this is an economical choice if you want a solid stereo equalizer."

"As a former DJ accustomed to high-end gear, I was impressed by how this EQ transformed my budget speakers, giving my system a much fuller sound. While I noticed some hiss during quiet classical or jazz passages, the overall value for the price makes this EQ well worth it."

"I mainly bought this for the blue LED lights, which look fantastic, but honestly, the spectrum analyzer isn't very useful and the sliders have a cheap feel. If you're after looks on a budget, this does the trick—just don't expect pro-level performance."

"I was thrilled to find this book in Spanish for my grandniece, who attends a Spanish immersion school in the city. This classic tale is sure to captivate her, just as it did for me."

"As a parent who only reads in Spanish to my son, I can say that this book is a real favorite in our home. It's a classic that keeps his interest every time we read it together."

"I love how the Spanish translation stays true to the original English version. My son loves the story and especially enjoys the vibrant illustrations during the winter months."

"I was really happy with the much lower price compared to other places, and it's clear they're making improvements with the packaging."

"As a true Star Wars fan, I feel like this is a must-have addition to my collection, especially at such a fantastic price!"

"Although R5-P8 is mostly a repaint and comes with fewer accessories than past astromechs, I'm glad to finally add him to my droid lineup, as he's a unique store exclusive that pairs nicely with my Hondo figure."

"I've been into hi-fi for decades and have tried countless headphones and amps, but this device is the best thing that’s ever happened to my headphone setup. With my Fostex TH900 mk2 and iFi Black Label, the sound is transformed—bass tightens and hits harder, and the overall power and clarity are unreal. It doesn’t introduce distortion or signal loss, and it makes every headphone sound bigger and better. If you love bass or want to unlock the full potential of your headphones, this is a must-have."

"I added the Loki Mini+ to my Schiit Modi & Magni stack and tried it with my HD6xx, HD600, and Meze 109 Pro. It’s a solid addition for basic EQ tweaks like bass or treble adjustment, and the bypass switch is very handy. Build is sturdy, but the EQ range is somewhat limited and not as noticeable compared to other options. For the price, it’s decent if you’re looking to complete your Schiit stack, but there are more flexible EQ options out there if you want more control."

"This unit works exactly as advertised and is well made. You can instantly tell it’s crafted by a company that truly cares about audio gear. If you value quality components and reliable performance, this is a great choice to consider."

"I really appreciate that this set came with a generous supply of blades, including some conveniently stored in the handle. It definitely makes tasks more enjoyable and efficient."

"After trying several phono preamps under $500, I found the PEQ30 delivers a more spacious, detailed soundstage than others I’ve owned. The improvement it made with both my MM and MC turntables, especially in richness and overall sound quality, was instantly noticeable. It’s so good, I bought a second one for my other turntable."

"I was blown away by how much bass and dynamic range this compact preamp brought to my system. The build quality is solid, and after just a couple of days of break-in, the sound is impressively clean and quiet for a budget unit. Highly recommended for those on a budget."

"I picked up the PEQ30 since I primarily use Audio-Technica cartridges—both MM and MC. It’s optimized for both types, and I’ve found it to be well-made, attractive, and a great performer with my current setup."

"I found that the product performs as intended and meets my expectations, though I had a bit of trouble setting parameter values."
