![]() This will mean that everything sounds more consistently like a Dolby Atmos track, even if it isn't. If you want it on, tap 'Fixed' (we don't recommend the 'Head Tracked' option it's annoying for music). Open Control Center on your iPhone by swiping from the top-right (if you have Face ID) or from the bottom (if you have a Home button), tap and hold the volume slider, then tap 'Spatialize Stereo'. Now you'll only get the classic versions of tracks.Ģ) You can make everything sound like it's Spatial Audio, if it isn't a Dolby Atmos track, using special processing. Head to Settings > Music, and scroll down to 'Dolby Atmos'. ![]() You can fix this inconsistency in two ways, though:ġ) Turn off Dolby Atmos music completely. In a playlist, this can be pretty weird, as suddenly a track will be quieter and in 3D, and then you'll be back to being loud. And when a track is Spatial Audio, it tends to be quieter than regular tracks, and the overall sound reproduction changes a little. But something you need to know about these Atmos tracks is that they've effectively been remastered, meaning that they often don't sound quite the same as you remember in the originals. Last year, Apple Music added Dolby Atmos music tracks, which you can hear in 3D Spatial Audio. But it's a bit more contentious in music. And first, a caveat: we think you should always keep Spatial Audio turned on when watching movies, because it's amazing. This one applies to AirPods 3rd Gen, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, all of which support the Spatial Audio feature. Turn off Spatial Audio… or maybe turn it on You can easily change both the noise cancellation and Spatial Audio options from Control Center. Tap and hold on the volume slider, then tap 'Noise Control' and choose 'Off'. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone if you have one with Face ID, or swipe up from the bottom if you have one with a Home button. ![]() You can do this easily in Control Center. This is one for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max users, but if you're somewhere that doesn't require active noise cancellation to be switched on, then turn it off! It colors the sound, so if you don't need it, you'll get more accurate audio by turning it off.Īnd we don't mean to switch to Transparency mode to be clear, because that applies lots of extra processing too. You can even do a 'Custom Audio Setup' feature, which will play sounds and ask you questions to create a hearing profile tuned for you, that aims to help you hear more detail in songs, and to hear people's voices more clearly on calls. Here, there are some presets you can use: 'Balanced Tone' is the normal setup, 'Vocal Range' boosts the mid-range and lessens the bass impact slightly, while 'Brightness' prioritizes treble and flattens the bass further. From here, go to 'Audio/Visual', then 'Headphone Accommodations'. There is a secret EQ option! Like so many of the iPhone's best-kept secrets, it's hidden in Settings > Accessibility. The best you can do is go into the settings for Apple Music (or whatever music app you use) and adjusting the app's EQ instead, although annoyingly this will keep those settings even if you switch to a different set of headphones, or a Bluetooth speaker.īut here's the thing: we just lied to you. Unlike something like the Sony LinkBuds S, AirPods don't have a control app where you can change their overall EQ settings to tailor the sound to you. Think AirPods have no EQ? Think again!
