Like I love tweaking the equalizer of my Android player before listening to my favorite songs. That way, I can set the bass the way I truly want.
Heck, I even love setting up the picture quality before watching any of my videos, for a better viewing experience…
Hey, I know that the Android device comes with a default player. But to me, I feel the player doesn’t come with those extra functions that’ll make your viewing or listening experience worthwhile.
Yes, it does not give me 100% freedom over the functions I need to tweak. So why settling for less?

Hi
Baba,
Awesome list of best Audio/Video player apps for Android . Yes, Android device comes with a default player but it doesn’t provide extra functions to watch videos and listen music the way we want.
I have used “Mx Player” and “VLC Player”, both are best Audio/Video player apps for Android. I have heard about “Lark player” for the first time and I will give it a try.
Thanks for sharing this post with us.
Have a good day.
