I just got the AirPods 3, it sounds great, but is it normal that the eq is adjusting when first use out of the case or changing apps? For example when I use Apple Music and change to instagram or YouTube the AirPods sounds muffled ( high bass)
and it takes 3-10 seconds to adjust the sound.
is it normal that the adaptive eq is so slow to adjust?
Hey there Hi Yargu,
One last item to test out. We'd like you to check this out: Control Spatial Audio and head tracking. We'd want to see if Spacial Audio had been activated. You can check this setting:
> Bluetooth.
next to your AirPods, then tap Spatial Audio."We've found this in the guide that has been provided. The reason why we're asking is because you might be going to a site that has Spacial Audio (Apple Music) to a site that doesn't. The rule generally is that the settings remain the same, but it might take a moment to adjust if this feature isn't available on the site. If it's been enabled, disable it then test it out.
If this is not enabled, and you still notice that adjustment, you'd want to contact Apple Support. They can work further with you to see why this is happening.
Kind regards.

Hi Yargu,
The Adaptive EQ shouldn’t be something that causes a delay in the music. Go through “Set up Headphone Accommodations” from the following article and see if adjusting any of the settings there has any impact on this:
Customize headphone audio levels on your iPhone or iPad

Hi Yargu,
As the sound from your AirPods is not clear at first or when switching apps, if you are using an iPhone, ensure it is up to date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Settings > General > Software Update > You'll see if your iOS device is up to date.
For a Mac, Apple Logo > System Preferences > Software update > You'll see if a macOS update is needed: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support
If it continues, isolate this by testing it on a different device to see if it continues there: Set up AirPods with your Mac and other Bluetooth devices.
Hope this helps.
Have a good day.
The software is up to date on my iPhone, I’ve tried with my wife’s iPhone, my MacBook and iPad and it’s the same, the sound is terrible for a good 10 seconds and then it correct itself.
I am suspecting the adaptive eq, that is very slow to react?
also done that without success.
the sound is not delayed but sound (muffled) like through a tube, couple of seconds and then adjusting to sound amazing.
It takes sometimes is 1-2 seconds and other times 10-15 to adjust from playing muffled to playing great.
