Have you ever wished you could experience movies, music, and games in a truly immersive way, with audio that surrounds you from all directions? Boom 3D is a desktop app that promises to transform your ordinary stereo sound into a captivating 3D audio experience, and it delivers on that promise in an impressive way. In this article, I’ll share my experience using this cool audio enhancer and the features it has to offer.

Getting started

Installing Boom 3D was a simple task. It took me no more than a couple of minutes to download, install and set up the application on both Windows and Mac. The first obvious step is to download the tool from the official website for your Windows or Mac device. For this guide, I’ll show you the steps on Mac after you’ve added the app to the applications folder.

  1. Launch Boom 3D from Launchpad or Finder. You might see a warning asking if you want to open the app, depending on your system. So click ‘Okay’ if prompted. Then click the ‘Install’ button.

Immersive 3D surround sound

On Windows (and Mac), the Boom 3D app immediately caught my attention with its sleek and intuitive user interface. With just a few clicks, I could enable the 3D surround sound feature, and suddenly, the audio from my favorite movies and games came alive around me. Dialogue and sound effects seemed to originate from various directions, creating a sense of depth and realism that I had never experienced before with my regular headphones.

For reference, I use Sony’s WH-XB900N headphones, which otherwise sound great too. However, when paired with Boom 3D, the surround sound function just makes everything 10x more immersive. I understand that it might come off as an exaggeration, but you’ll likely only relate once you actually use the tool.

Powerful equalizer and custom presets

But Boom 3D isn’t just about 3D audio; it also offers a powerful 31-band equalizer that lets you fine-tune the sound to your personal preferences. Whether you’re a bass lover, a treble enthusiast, or somewhere in between, you can tweak the EQ settings to achieve the perfect audio balance. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even create and save your own custom presets, ensuring that your favorite audio configurations are just a click away.

Cross-platform compatibility

I’ve been using Boom 3D for the past few days, and I can confidently say that it has taken my audio adventures to new heights, whether I’m watching a movie, jamming to my favorite tunes, or getting lost in the virtual worlds of video games. As someone who uses both Windows and macOS, I was delighted to find that Boom 3D offers the same level of audio enhancement across both platforms. This is a big deal for me because it would bother me having to go back to the boring generic audio experience when switching between platforms.

Elevated mac experience with Volume Booster

When I switched to my Mac, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Boom 3D provided an equally impressive experience. Not only did it offer the same 3D surround sound capabilities, but it also introduced a handy volume booster function that allowed me to safely increase the volume beyond the system’s default limits. This feature came in handy when I wanted to fully immerse myself in the audio experience without compromising on sound quality.

Cinematic audio adventures

One of the most memorable experiences I had with Boom 3D was watching the masterpiece “Oppenheimer” on my Mac. As the movie’s sounds filled my headphones, I could almost feel the vast expanse of space around me. The audio cues seemed to originate from different directions, adding depth and dimension to the already-captivating visuals. It was an experience that left me in awe and made me appreciate the power of immersive audio.

Enhanced gaming sessions

But Boom 3D isn’t just limited to movies; it also enhances the gaming experience in ways I never thought possible. Whether I was exploring the vast open worlds of an RPG or engaging in intense first-person shooter battles, the 3D audio made me feel like I was right there in the middle of the action. Every gunshot, explosion, and ambient sound felt like it was happening around me, heightening the sense of immersion and making the gameplay even more thrilling.

However, in games like PUBG, I felt that HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) offers more “accurate” sound cues. Pairing Boom 3D with HRTF in certain games might not be the best decision, especially if you’re looking for top-notch audio cues. In case you’re a casual player and just want a more immersive audio experience, then go right ahead and enable Boom 3D’s audio magic. If you are a hardcore gamer who’s in it to win it, then I’d suggest testing it out in a few unranked matches to get a feel for it.

Music rediscovered

Of course, music is another area where Boom 3D truly shines. By enabling the 3D surround sound feature, my favorite albums took on a whole new life, with each instrument and vocal seeming to occupy its own unique space within the audio landscape. It was like having a personal concert hall right in my headphones, and I found myself rediscovering my music collection in a way I had never experienced before.

I have used a few other “surround sound” apps in the past, but have always felt like they overdo the effect. Luckily, Boom 3D isn’t overpowering, at least in my experience. Your mileage may vary depending on the earphones or headphones you use. Apart from the surround effect, my next favorite enhancement was the “Ambience” effect. Enabling that made everything sound so rich.

Pricing and availability

At the time of this writing, Boom 3D is available with a whopping 70% discount for Mac and Windows, bringing the price down to $14.99 from its original price of $49.99, which is a one-time fee. Notably, each Boom 3D license that you purchase will work for 2 PCs/Macs only. So if you’re someone who wants the software on more than 2 devices, this could be a negative.

That said, the pricing otherwise makes Boom 3D an incredible value proposition for anyone seeking to elevate their audio experience across various entertainment mediums. The company often has sales ongoing, so you might want to keep an eye out on the website to snag the software for less.

To sweeten the deal, the company also offers a 30-day trial on both Windows and Mac. So if you’re unsure about your decision, you can try out Boom 3D for a month and then take the call.

Conclusion

Overall, Boom 3D is a game-changer for anyone who values an immersive audio experience. With its ability to work across platforms and with any pair of headphones, it opens up a world of possibilities for movie enthusiasts, gamers, and music lovers alike. And with its powerful EQ and volume boosting capabilities, it offers unparalleled control over the audio experience, allowing users to tailor the sound to their exact preferences.

I was skeptical going into this, however, after using Boom 3D, I can confidently recommend the tool to anyone looking to improve their audio experience. If you’re looking to take your audio adventures to new heights, Boom 3D is an investment worth making.
