AirPods tuning?

[Jerry202]

So I know the Samsung earbuds had the sound tuned by AKG. Does anybody know if Apple worked with a company to tune the airpods or was it all in-house?

Probably Beats by Dr.Dre. Beats me, whom am I to judge

i usually take these with a grain of salt. wrose case scenario it could just be a contract that they can use that text in advertisinig. but tuning is not the end game since you can use EQ. there are apps that you can search your headphones and it will apply an EQ that will flatten the frequency response of the headphones. i have "wavelet" for android

I don't really like messing with EQs if the response curve is good stock I just leave my Buds Pro2 alone since they already have a great response curve. Those are tuned by AKG though so that's why my original question came up about the AirPods.

Airpods are tuned in-house, AKG is used by Samsung to put their name on earbuds for marketing reasons (Samsung's buyout has done wonders for AKG though) there's quite a lot of things to talk about with tuning, but it's all apple engineers who tune the airpods
