User reviews

Users praise eq8 for its high-quality parametric equalizer capabilities, ease of use, and ability to improve audio on many websites. They especially appreciate manual control over parameters and saving settings per video. However, multiple users report the extension does not affect Spotify or Amazon Music web players, and some face UI clipping issues making the extension difficult to use. Additionally, audio playback problems arise on platforms like Twitch FFZ and Facebook videos, and band visibility issues limit full control. Despite these drawbacks, it remains highly regarded as the best parametric EQ extension available for Chrome.

Pros

High quality parametric equalizer functionality with precise frequency control.
Free and well-designed interface appreciated by users.
Enhances audio quality across various platforms, including YouTube and general web audio.
Allows manual entry of values including the Q parameter, useful for headphone EQ profiles like AutoEQ.
Saves settings per video and retains them even after browser restart.

Cons

Does not affect audio from certain web players like Spotify and Amazon Music.
Visual interface issues where parts of the extension UI are cut off, making it hard to use.
Compatibility problems causing audio playback issues on some platforms like Twitch and Facebook videos, especially on Linux.
Limited functionality in some cases where only half of the equalizer bands are visible or adjustable.
Does not properly handle audio compression or advanced processing features, as requested by some users.

Real good EQ plugin. I use it in combination with the autoeq-Webpage to eq my headphones. Only problem I have is that the webplayers of Spotify and Amazon-Music don't seem to be affected by it. Any ideas why?!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

eq8 requires very minimum permissions.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
