Hello,


Make sure your AirPods & iPhone are updated to the latest firmware. Follow the steps below:


  1. Wear your AirPods, and make sure they’re connected to your device.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • iPhone or iPad: Go to the Settings app , then tap the name of your AirPods at the top of the screen. Tap Audio & Routing, tap Equalizer, then tap Custom. Drag the Low, Mid, and High sliders up or down to adjust the EQ.
    • Mac: Go to the System Settings app , then click the name of your AirPods in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down). Click Audio & Routing, click Equalizer, then click Custom. Drag the Low, Mid, and High sliders up or down to adjust the EQ.


Note: Custom EQ settings are stored on your AirPods and carry over to any other paired devices. To turn off Custom EQ, choose Recommended instead of Custom.
