yes the charge every so oftenn is anoying but it is one of best music app players i enjoy and play the most at home next to Megaseg Pro..and i can use it with my Audio Quest Dragonfly..go together like steak and lobster.

I would like to share my opinion about the app. This app is really amazing. Using only ordinary earphone, I hear my musics and movies with incredible sounds. The 3D sound effect also fantastic.

I have used this both on Catalina 10.15.3 and Mojave 10.14.6. I noticed when using Boom 3D my Mac scrubs/skips through videos online via safari and via quicktime and music on iTunes, freezes my chrome and unsyncs audio on Firefox and safari. audio is also has a lot of static in it when these errors happen if I can get anything to play. I have been through apple support thinking it was an issue with my mac. I closed boom 3D when I had the audio issue and what do you know no issues. if you application is as buggy as it is please fix all the issues that your app is causing. I don't have any log to provide but I just want to know that you have made me think that I had to buy a new Mac because of these errors. I have also had to reset my mac multiple times because of these issues loosing all my data that I had on my Mac. your program was also slowing down my Mac quite a lot. the only explanation I have is that boom 3D was causing all the issues because since not using it I haven't had the issues pop up again.

This is one of the best designed programs ! i've tested Boom3D: Volume Booster and EQ at a friend's Macbook. Of all the apps, utilities, and programs I have ever used, this one takes the cake for highest level of perfection. Somebody has totally obsessed over this, getting everything right, down to the smallest detail, as if the fate of the universe depended upon it. If you are at all tech-oriented, you are going to be impressed with the level of detail and sheer amount information they have managed to pack into Boom3D: Volume Booster and EQ.

Having problems again with Boom 3D sporadically crashing without any apparent cause. I send a problem report (generated by the app) to the developer every time. Even when I include an email or have attempted to reach their support team, the resonse is #crickets. No one's ever responded to me about reported issues. Guess the team is a little on the small side! In general, I like this app and have been using it since it came out. That said, I sometimes experience the same bugs that I thought Boom would have ironed out by now: odd metallic distortion overall at times, distortion in the bass frequencies (not headphone/earbud dependent), the hair-trigger button settings on the equalizer (why can't I just type in a number instead of using the slider???), and the nag emails when I already have the product. Taking two points off for persistent, erratic app issues.

Was great until it stopped working with Mojave (10.14.6). As soon as I connect a BT device, it crashes and can't even be reopened. I have to shut bluetooth off to be able to open Boom 3D again. I'm using the latest version.

The set up often needs considerable adjusting when shifting from one source of music (DVD, You Tube, on-line radio). But when set up properly the results are good in most cases. Recently, however, when Boom 3D is on it intermittently shuts down the sound system on my MacBook. Nothing works: MacBook speaker, earphones, bluetooth speaker. I then need to reboot my system. I have read other reviews indicating widespread similar problems, especially with the more recent versions of 3D. So for now I'm disabling the app. and ignoring the almost endless steam of invitations to upgrade to the newest version. I'll try a new version in a few months to see if problems have been resolved.

How does this work with classical music ?

I've been using Boom 3D on my Macbook Pros and Airs since it first came out. It's reliable, easy to adjust, and performs remarkably well. The Ambient and 3D settings are mind-blowing. I haven't experienced the problems others have with payments. Have I made two, one for each of my Macs? I don't think so. But even if I did, it would be worth $20 to get control over my audio, better than the native Apple controls.
