Music makes us feel good. In fact, the right music at the right time can reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure and boost your mood. That being said, the effect music has on us is only as good as our sound systems. Get it right and you’re dancing on the ceiling from dusk till dawn. Get it wrong and it feels like you’re listening to your carefully curated playlist inside a tin of beans!
In this article, we’ll look at a few simple ways you can improve the sound of your audio system and ensure you hit the right notes every time, no matter the occasion.

Invest In Your Headphones If you routinely listen to music through your headphones, it’s important to invest in a good pair that work for you. There are many different types of headphones: wireless, wired, in-ear, over the ear, on ear…the list goes on! What is key when it comes to headphones is finding a pair that feel comfortable and sound good. If you like to move from room to room while listening to music, then a pair of wireless headphones is a fantastic idea as you won’t need to carry your device around all the time.
Consider Your Speaker Placement The placement and positioning of your speakers play a big role in performance. Pull your speakers away from the wall for a cleaner bass and angle them inwards rather than have them facing straight ahead for better sound quality. It may take a bit of trial and error to hit the ‘sweet spot’ for your room, but it really does pay off when you get it just right!
Be A Crowd Pleaser If yours is a household full of different music tastes, multiroom audio is the crowd pleaser you have been waiting for. Having strategically placed sound systems throughout your home means that everyone can enjoy their own tunes wherever they may be with no arguments!
Improve Your Rooms Acoustics The acoustics of your room have a significant impact on the sounds you hear. You can improve your acoustics by moving chairs or sofas to the middle of the room away from a wall. Soft furnishings can help absorb reflections that distort sound. Alternatively, powered subwoofers with built-in bass equalisation and home theatre receivers with automatic speaker calibration can adjust sound to suit the needs of your room acoustics without any major décor overhaul.
Combine all of the above with your favourite albums and films, then you’re on to a winner!
