Apple says the feature works with AirPods Pro (2nd generation) and AirPods (3rd generation). iOS 27 is slated for a public release in the fall of 2026, following the usual September‑October rollout.\n\nThis matters because AirPods have long used a one‑size‑fits‑all sound profile. Giving users granular control could improve listening satisfaction and reduce the need for third‑party apps that hack around Apple’s closed ecosystem.\n\nIt’s a modest upgrade, not a marketing overhaul, but it shows Apple finally listening to a common complaint from audiophiles.","[\"apple\",\"airpods\",\"ios\",\"audio\"]","2026-06-08T18:39:39.000Z","2026-06-08T19:25:49.581Z","2026-06-08T19:26:56.649Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fapple-adds-custom-eq-to-airpods-with-ios-27.webp",[26,27,28,29],"apple","airpods","ios","audio",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"Digital Trends","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com\u002Fphones\u002Fairpods-are-finally-getting-a-custom-eq-to-tune-the-listening-experience\u002F",0]
