Are the Airpod pro 2s hearing test based EQ settings working on non-Apple products?

In other words - are the Airpod pro 2 EQ settings based on the hearing test stored in the Airpods or the iPhone (or iPad)?

Will they sound the same when connected to f.ex. amplifier with bluetooth as they do when streaming from an iPhone/iPad?

Since noone answered, I asked on other forums and got this answer:

"According to the Apple Doc (Use the Hearing Aid feature on your AirPods Pro 2), “Hearing Aid settings are stored on your AirPods,"

. . . Which means - I don't need to first download the EQ settings from an IOS device before starting to listen. The latest settings will always be stored in the Airpod pro 2s.


Question answered - in case someone else should have the same question.
