On the Mac, having a system-wide EQ generally requires all sorts of hackery...which is a pain when using audio/music apps like Spotify or Rdio. Hear takes away the hackery and makes any audio you choose sound like delicious ear candy. The software feels a *tad* dated, but they're definitely still working on it.

Curious how this stacks up against Boom 2, which is amazing.

@benwikler I was going to ask the same thing. Here's the Boom 2 thread, btw. cc @rohithbhat

@benwikler Boom constantly crashed my Mac, plus it's *only* an EQ, while Hear is an EQ + lots of other sound enhancing stuff. It just sounds better than Boom, for me at least. There's also a heck of a lot more control w/ Hear.

Nice - could see the benefit of muting specific notification sounds for messaging apps too.

System wide EQ, or the lack thereof, is something that always bugged me when working on my Mac. I've tried a number of those "hackery" solutions. Soundflower worked ok for me but it was never just quite right. I'll definitely be trying this. Thanks!
