Personalize audio settings

You can turn on headphone accommodations to amplify soft sounds and adjust certain frequencies to suit your hearing.

Custom audio setup (available for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max) allows you to upload an Audiogram, customize the volume level of speaking, and adjust the brightness and depth of sound.
