iOS 14: How to Enhance Speech, Movies, and Music When Listening on AirPods, AirPods Max, and Beats

Does anyone know if this will work with the Beats Studio 3s? As the article doesn’t specify models.
Just checking on Public Beta 2 and nothing. Here’s hoping a firmware gets pushed to my headphones to enable some of the custom audio features.
Obviously I know I’ll be limited compared to some airpods due to only having a W1 chip.

Sounds like a good old equalizer with auto settings.
Funny that till this day we have to use third party apps on iOS and Mac if we want to do this ourselves.

Possibly a stupid question but do these settings literally only work with AirPod Pros or is it with whatever bluetooth earbuds you have connected?

Actually, I don’t know if this is a special case or not, but I have the Jabra Elite Active 65ts and the features have worked for me since beta 1. It’s fully adjustable, but the custom setup doesn’t work. Only the three boxes and the slider. I’ve also noticed that audio quality got a large improvement in the last beta, which leads me to wonder if they’re doing something with spatial audio behind the scenes.

A quick google search shows the app has been discontinued. Too bad I know this app way too late.

Oh no. Well there is a hope they will license their technology to Apple, Spotify and co. Thats what they said was the goal when they started the free app. So lets see.

The iTunes equalizer can go up or down max 12 dB. My left ear has -50dB at 4000Hz. No EQ can adjust that much. The Mimi Music app does just that.

Literally only works with AirPods Pros and supported Beats headphones.

AirPods Pro only.

I tried headphone accomodations, AirPods Pro sound quality still cant match Shure SE-215 BT1, even though the latter uses inferior SBC BT encoding.

Late response but thanks for the answer. Had a feeling that was the case :-(
