Apple lets users tune AirPods sound for the first time

Apple announced on 8 June 2026 that AirPods users can now adjust how the earbuds sound—controlling bass, treble, and other audio tones themselves. For seven years, Apple's previous AirPods Pro automatically adjusted sound but wouldn't let users change it. This move suggests Apple is becoming more willing to let people customize their devices rather than keeping those controls hidden inside the technology.
