Apple announces that iOS 27 will include a customizable equalizer for AirPods, a feature that multiple outlets describe as long requested by users. Reports say the EQ is built into the AirPods settings area on iOS, giving users a native way to adjust how their AirPods sound rather than relying on accessibility audio tools or existing presets from Apple Music. Coverage highlights that the EQ lets listeners tune playback levels across low, mid, and high frequencies, with preview screenshots described as showing a real-time visual graph. One outlet notes that AirPods models including AirPods Max 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods 4 can manually select the levels for lows, mids, and highs. Another outlet adds that Apple has not yet specified certain details, including whether users can save multiple equalizer profiles or whether the feature works with third-party Bluetooth audio devices. The updates are described as arriving later in the year, following Apple’s WWDC 2026 announcements.
