Although it’s in accessibility settings, many users – even without hearing issues – will likely appreciate the headset’s new audio personalization feature that works with phone calls, music, and movies.

* Remember that you can also go to Settings> Music> EQ to customize audio in Music app on iPhone and iPad.
