Hi Apple team,
I’m testing iOS 27 Developer Beta 1 and I’m trying to understand the new AirPods Custom EQ feature announced for iOS 27.
I’m using AirPods Max, but I can’t find the Custom EQ setting in the AirPods settings page.
I have a few questions:
- Where exactly should the AirPods Custom EQ setting appear in iOS 27?
- Does this feature require a specific AirPods firmware version?
- Is AirPods Custom EQ supported on AirPods Max, including the USB-C model?
- If the EQ option does not appear on AirPods Max while running iOS 27 Developer Beta 1, is this expected behavior or should I file feedback?
Thanks.
This feature is supported on AirPods Max 2 and requires a beta firmware update. There is a known issue that prevents Max 2 firmware updates from working in the Beta 1 release.
You cannot update AirPods Max 2 firmware beta in iOS 27 Beta 1 and macOS 27 Beta 1. AirPods Max 2 firmware beta updates are supported in iOS 27 Beta 2 and macOS 27 Beta 2. (178280323) https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-27-release-notes#Known-Issues
