Equalizer customization

EQ is a major strength: quick presets plus an advanced 8‑band EQ (with adjustable center frequency and Q) and bass enhancement, with profiles stored on the headphones and shareable via QR codes; many rely on EQ to fix the default tuning.

Robust 10-band EQ plus guided tools like Find Your Equalizer and simplified tuning flows make it easy to tailor bass, mids and treble; customization is a key strength and helps correct default tuning quirks.

The headset offers a flexible parametric EQ with multiple bands and profile slots, plus easy sharing/import via copy-paste codes, letting users meaningfully reshape bass, mids, and treble.

EQ flexibility is a standout: 10-band EQ on both desktop and mobile, per-game profiles, and the ability to store multiple presets on the headset are repeatedly praised. Reviewers commonly recommend tweaking EQ to soften treble or tailor bass, and many find the headset moves from good to excellent once dialed in.

EQ customization is a standout strength, often called robust and among the best available, with multi-band control and personalization tools. Reviewers frequently use it to adjust brightness, bass emphasis, and overall tonal balance.

A 7-band equalizer is frequently highlighted, with reviewers noting it makes meaningful changes and that the P100 SE take EQ extremely well. Presets and saved custom profiles make it easy to tailor the sound for genres or personal taste.

Highly flexible EQ toolkit with a 5–6 band style EQ plus Clear Bass and guided systems like Your or Find Your Equalizer; easy to dial down bass or tame treble without breaking the mix.

Sony’s app based EQ allows dramatic reshaping of the XM5’s sound, turning the muddy stock tuning into a more balanced, detailed and energetic signature once set and saved.

EQ and Sound Personalization are considered effective and flexible for a mainstream app stack, allowing users to tame bass or increase clarity without breaking the overall character. The 5-band EQ is sometimes seen as limiting for narrow-band corrections, making personalization tools especially useful.

Excellent EQ control with an 8-band equalizer is repeatedly praised, giving meaningful ability to tune bass/treble balance and tailor the sound beyond presets.

EQ tools are a standout: multiband custom EQ and HearID personalization let you dial in the tuning for music or spoken word and correct the default sound.

EQ tools (including ProEQ and an immersion bass slider) provide meaningful tuning flexibility and can correct overly bassy or bright profiles. Users who like to fine-tune generally find the options robust.

EQ flexibility is frequently praised: users can adjust bass and treble to taste, use guided personalization tools, and store presets, making it easy to move from a fun stock tuning to a more balanced one. A recurring note is that certain preset modes (e.g., Podcast) can restrict manual EQ sliders while enabled, but overall tuning control is considered above average.

EQ customization is strong on Android, typically offering a 9-band EQ and meaningful tuning control. Many reviewers recommend using EQ to tame treble or tailor bass, but iPhone users may not get access to these controls.

A seven band EQ with useful presets and the ability to save custom profiles allows meaningful tonal tweaks, though several reviewers find the default tuning so well judged that they rarely feel the need to adjust it.

A five band EQ with several presets and an adaptive loudness option gives listeners meaningful control to shape bass, mids, and treble to taste.

Offers presets plus a 6-band EQ and BassWave-style bass control; effectiveness varies by reviewer, from powerful tuning to subtle changes.

You get meaningful EQ control through INZONE Hub and Sound Connect, including a 10-band EQ and the ability to save custom profiles to the headset, but the out-of-box presets lean heavily toward FPS and some reviewers wanted more flexible or clearer non-FPS options.

EQ is centered around a straightforward 5-band custom equalizer plus several presets, and many reviewers find it easy to use for meaningful tonal tweaks. However, some listeners consider the bands too broad and miss deeper controls such as selectable center frequencies or more bands for fine correction.

EQ options are a strong value point when available, with multi-band adjustment and multiple presets to rein in bass or boost mids, though some app versions offer more limited or preset-only control.

Equalizer control is basic: a 3‑band EQ plus a few presets can tame bass or add brightness, and some users find it sufficient for quick tuning. Others criticize the lack of granular bands and argue the limited EQ can’t fully correct the default bass-forward/peaky response if you’re chasing a more accurate sound.

EQ and presets exist but customization is limited by a three-band EQ, leading many reviewers to call it adequate for basic tuning (such as reducing bass or adding treble) but disappointing for users wanting finer, multi-band control or more sensitive adjustments.

EQ is basic—typically a 3-band slider with minimal labeling—so it’s good for quick tonal tweaks but frustrating for precise tuning; several outlets call it weaker than other premium competitors’ EQ systems.

Manual EQ is essentially absent: the earbuds rely on Apple’s adaptive EQ and limited system-level presets, with no adjustable EQ curves in the AirPods controls. Users who want tuning flexibility typically need third-party solutions or different earbuds.

No full user-definable EQ; sound is shaped automatically via Adaptive EQ and a few limited Headphone Accommodations or music presets, which is far less flexible than Sony or Bose style EQ apps and may not carry across non-iOS devices.

EQ customization is not available, with no app-based equalizer; tuning adjustments are limited to built-in listening modes rather than user-defined EQ curves.

The lack of a standard EQ is a recurring complaint; only limited system-level workarounds are mentioned, so personal tuning control is restricted.

There’s no true adjustable EQ, and many reviewers criticize the limited tuning control; wireless playback is essentially fixed, leaving users to rely on streaming-app EQ or the limited USB-C profiles.
