Their sound profile is quite neutral. There’s a slight boost in the low-bass that adds a little extra rumble to your audio, and some overemphasis starting in the high-mids lends voices and instruments extra brightness. Sibilants, like S and T sounds, are piercing, but overall the sound is suitable for a variety of genres. These results reflect the headphones’ performance when connected via Bluetooth. They don’t come with any sound customization features when connected via Bluetooth or analog cable.
However, you can also use the headphones via analog or USB-C. The headphones have a built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that lets you stream lossless audio from your phone or computer via USB-C. When connected that way, you can also choose from a few different EQ presets: ‘Beats Signature’, which provides the most neutral sound, ‘Entertainment’, which boosts the bass and treble, and ‘Conversation’, which significantly reduces bass. You can see a comparison between each preset here. Keep in mind that these EQ presets are only available via USB-C connection.
