Vocal-focused settings make podcasts easier to enjoy, while Volume Boost helps outdoors. The louder preset cannot entirely overcome heavy traffic or other noisy settings.
Pros: Charging, Stability
Cons: Bass performance, Sound quality
Preset EQ opinions were mostly positive for Bass Boost, Treble Boost, and Vocal/voice modes, with one technical review saying presets help compensate for open-ear limitations.
Pros: Comfort during long use, Sound quality
Cons: Find My, Carry case quality
The built-in EQ presets give quick ways to change the sound and reduce leakage. The available feedback is positive but thin compared with the heavier discussion of custom EQ.
Pros: Overall satisfaction, Sound quality
Cons: Value for money, Noise isolation (passive)
Bass Boost is the most consistently praised preset, adding fuller low-end without burying vocals. Private mode can reduce leakage at quiet levels, but its benefit is limited and may dull...
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use
Cons: Value for money, Volume output
The vocal-booster setting can make podcasts and audiobooks clearer, while standard mode suits music better. Earplug mode gives mixed results, and not everyone hears a meaningful improvement.
Pros: Situational awareness, Value for money
Cons: Sound quality, Bass performance
Preset EQ quality is mixed: Standard and Default work well for some, but one reviewer says other modes can distort at lower volumes.
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use
Cons: Active noise cancellation, Sensors
Vocal presets can help speech, and swimming mode changes the underwater balance. Preferences differ sharply: some like the swim tuning, while others find it flat and prefer Standard.
Pros: Sound quality, Comfort during long use
Cons: Bass performance, Cable quality
Ready-made vocal, bass, and treble profiles add convenience, but their results vary; the default Standard mode is sometimes more satisfying than the boosts.
Pros: Sound quality, Overall satisfaction
Cons: Volume output, Sound leakage
The Vocal preset can sound overly compressed for music, making other settings more appealing for most genres.
Pros: Weight comfort, Sound quality
Cons: Noise isolation (passive), Wireless charging
