VLC media player is a great iOS app for playing various audio file formats and includes a built-in equalizer. It excels as an MP3 player and supports numerous other audio formats, ensuring compatibility with your entire music library. The integrated equalizer allows you to fine-tune the audio output to your preferences, enhancing your listening experience. If you find the audio level too low, you can even boost the pre-amp within the equalizer settings. This feature makes VLC media player a versatile choice for anyone looking to enjoy their music with customized sound on their iPhone or iPad. It also supports loading files over a network. The user interface is wonderful, and it's also accessible with Apple's default screen reader.

I needed an MP3 player and this was exactly it. Although it can be a little finicky to deal with sometimes, it is wonderful otherwise. The ability to load files over the network was a game changer, and the built in EQ is actually really good.
