Apple adds custom equalizer to latest AirPods models via iOS 27 beta

Apple released a beta firmware update (9.0.314) for iOS 27 that introduces a three‑band custom equalizer for AirPods equipped with the H2 chip. The feature works on AirPods Pro 2 (both Lightning and USB‑C cases), AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4 (including ANC versions) and AirPods Max 2. Users enable it by installing the beta, then selecting Settings → AirPods → Audio & Routing and adjusting bass, mids and treble in real time.

A complementary guide explains how to use the full suite of AirPods functions on iOS, outlining the differences among AirPods 2, 3, Pro, Pro 3 and Max. It covers spatial audio, active noise cancellation, adaptive EQ, Siri integration, and other controls, helping users configure and personalize their devices across the Apple ecosystem.
