The trick is in the software, not the speaker.
Most people believe that the maximum volume is determined by the phone's hardware. But that's not entirely true.
In fact, the operating system imposes artificial limits to prevent harm and comply with regulations.
These apps act on the software. What they do is unlock that hidden margin that aren't commonly used. Some even allow you to apply custom settings, equalizers, and gain controls.
They don't do magic. But properly configured, they can noticeably increase the volume without distortion no risk to your ears or speakers.
