select from six different equalizer presets and enjoy the same music with a different and unique
sound. Drag the slider to change the settings from Normal, Bass boost, Soft, Dynamic, Clear or
Treble boost. You can simply try out the options to find the most suitable sound mode that fits
you at the moment.

with iOS 10 or higher.
Option 1. Control the ambient sound Click to Collapse
It is important to have an option to hear your surroundings clearly while you are listening to
