It works great!

stupid question but if this app lets you turn the volume up past the factory presets dont you run/increase the risk of blowing out your speakers 😕

I guess its just an equalizing software. In that case. No.

Thanks GGJstudios.

I am surprised only one person has tried it.

Yea I'm wondering if this wouldn't make it more likely for your speakers to be blown?

I just downloaded their 7 day trial on my 2011 MBP. WOW!!! It works. I had to back off on the volume.

it only seems logical that it would make it more likely to blow. apple probably put a meaningful limit on speaker volume. after all they are tiny little speakers. get some good headphones or speakers. i use bose headphones to watch tv and movies on my mbp because i can hear more (i.e. higher quality) than those crappy laptop speakers

and don't tell me you cant afford them, you just bought a macbook pro

It doesn't increase volume enough to damage the speakers, but it does help. I have headphones and external speakers, but neither will help when you're traveling and want multiple people to hear something on your MBP.

Using it for some time now. Happy user. 😉

Using it on both MBP and iMac and it works well.. although with the boom on I rarely go above 1/2 volume level..

Also, all those who question if it could damage the system may have a point. I asked myself whether it could.. But so far.. all good (fingers crossed)..

I believe the secret is in the reasonable use.

That works pretty well. Will use my 7 day trial but don't see myself paying for it though.
