CapTune is a free Android music player by Sennheiser with powerful sound optimizations for headphones. This feature-rich music player from Sennheiser comes with pretty cool audio effects especially optimized for headphones to suit your ears. The best part is that you can create multiple profiles with different presets and switch between them quite easily as per your changing music taste.

I have tried a number of different music players on Android from Poweramp (not free anymore), JetAudio, and many others. But many of these are not completely free and in their free versions, they display annoying ads with limited features. CapTune is just the one I was looking for, completely free, no ads, and most importantly with pro features. It lets you create multiple headphone profiles with customized equalizer settings or you can simply select from preset headphone profiles. I tested this app with its presets as I was really amazed after I plugged in my earphones. The music sounded like never before and I could clearly differentiate its sound with other music players equalizers presets that I mentioned. It surely sounded the best to me and this is certainly going to remain on my device for a long time now.
It also gives you the option to set a personalized equalizer, create multi-source playlists, integrate with TIDAL- High Fidelity Music Streaming, etc. It is compatible with both wired and wireless headphones. It provides a smart user interface and option to customize the equalizer presets created by Sennheiser. In short, it is a music player with built-in multiple equalizer presets.
