User Reviews

Overall, users praise eq8 for delivering high-quality sound with a powerful, highly parametric EQ and a sleek UI. It’s seen as incredibly useful and effective, especially on YouTube, with noticeable bass and sound improvements. However, reliability is a recurring issue: in several reviews it did nothing or had no effect. Compatibility problems are even more prominent: it can mute or block audio on many non-YouTube sites and DRM-restricted services, and some sites (radio, Spotify, Bandcamp) require disabling to listen. Some users also want a compressor and additional HPF options.
Pros
  • Excellent high-quality sound with powerful parametric EQ
  • Highly configurable with true parametric control and infinite adjustability
  • Modern, professional UI/UX and precise controls
  • Generally useful and works well across sites, especially YouTube
  • Great bass response / sound improvement on some setups
Cons
  • Occasional no-effect or reliability issues where the extension does not work
  • Blocks or silences audio on many non-YouTube sites, indicating broad site-compatibility problems
  • Compatibility with DRM-restricted sites (Disney+, Bandcamp issues) requiring disabling or workaround
  • Inconsistent site support (works on YouTube but not on radio/Spotify)
Recent reviews
Works perfectly. Would be nice if we could set it to reset to a certain profile on new tabs though.

Is eq8 Safe?

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 a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
