Spotify, YouTube and more in 432Hz on Android

What you'll need

• smartphone An Android phone
• travel_explore Vivaldi or Titanium, free on Google Play; both install Chrome Web Store extensions
• extension The free Ultimate 432Hz Converter extension

Vivaldi 8.2 and later install Chrome Web Store extensions on Android. We tested ours in it: Speed and Pitch, on Spotify and YouTube, and the 432 button on the player.

1. 1

   Install Vivaldi Browser from Google Play. You need version 8.2 or later.

2. 2

   Open Vivaldi's menu and turn on Desktop site. Keep it on: Vivaldi installs extensions only in that mode, and music sites then show the 432 button.

3. 3

   Open the Chrome Web Store at chromewebstore.google.com and search for "Ultimate 432Hz Converter", or use the link below.

4. 4

   Tap Add to Vivaldi, then Add extension.

5. 5

   Pin it to the address bar: tap the Extensions button there, tap the three dots next to Ultimate 432Hz Converter, then Pin to toolbar.

6. 6

   Open a music site such as open.spotify.com or youtube.com and start a track.

7. 7

   Tap the extension's icon, pick Speed or Pitch, then tap 432Hz. A new install starts at 440Hz, so this step matters. You can also use the 432 button on the player.

Titanium Browser is a free, open-source browser built on Vanadium, from the GrapheneOS project. It was called Helium before. We tested the extension in it with the same results as in Vivaldi.

1. 1

   Install Titanium Browser from Google Play.

2. 2

   Open the menu and turn on Desktop site.

3. 3

   Open the Chrome Web Store at chromewebstore.google.com and search for "Ultimate 432Hz Converter", or use the link below.

4. 4

   Tap Add to Chrome, then confirm.

5. 5

   Open Titanium's extensions menu and pin Ultimate 432Hz Converter to the address bar, so it is one tap away.

6. 6

   Open a music site such as open.spotify.com or youtube.com and start a track.

7. 7

   Tap the extension's icon, pick Speed or Pitch, then tap 432Hz. You can also use the 432 button on the player.

Other Android browsers also install Chrome Web Store extensions. We have not tested ours in them, so treat these as worth a try. Speed should work wherever the extension runs; Pitch depends on the browser.

• help_outline Quetta Browser says it supports Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons extensions. Install the extension the same way as in Vivaldi.
• help_outline Microsoft Edge Canary installs extensions only by an Edge Add-ons ID from its developer options. Our extension is not on Edge Add-ons, so we do not recommend this route.

Tips and troubleshooting

• check_circle Speed or Pitch? Speed, the default, plays about 1.8% slower. Pitch keeps the original tempo.
• check_circle Use the website, not the app. The extension only affects audio playing inside the browser tab, so open the service's website in Vivaldi or Titanium, or use 432 Bridge, rather than the Spotify or YouTube app.
• check_circle No 432 button on the player? Check that Desktop site is on: mobile sites do not show it. You can always tune from the extension's icon.
• check_circle Keep the tab playing in the foreground. Some sites pause audio in background tabs.
• check_circle No difference? Make sure the extension is on and set to 432Hz, not 440Hz. The shift is subtle, about a third of a semitone, so headphones help.
• check_circle Real-time processing uses a little more battery than normal playback.

Frequencies you can choose

432Hz and 440Hz are free with no account. 528Hz (applied as A=444) is free with an extension account. The other tones need extension Pro, with free 60-second previews.
