Concept Description — Apple EQ

Apple EQ reimagines how listeners shape and share their sound. By expanding the equalizer into a personalized, social, and artist-driven experience, Apple EQ deepens the way people interact with their music—and with each other—inside Apple Music.

Customize, then Share

Apple EQ gives users full control without interrupting the moment. You can switch between presets instantly, explore recommended EQ profiles based on your favorite genres, your headphones, or your connected speakers, and save the ones that fit your listening style.

When you dial in the perfect sound for a track, sharing it is effortless. Send a preset to a friend directly in iMessage or explore presets together with SharePlay, hearing changes live as they happen.

An Artist’s Experience

Apple EQ brings fans closer to the people who make the music. Visiting an artist’s profile reveals how they prefer their work to be heard. Artist-created EQ presets can be browsed, tested, and added to your library with a tap—giving listeners a deeper, more authentic connection to their favorite albums, eras, and tracks.

Experience Optimized Sound

Your listening environment changes throughout the day—car, gym, desk, living room—but your sound shouldn’t suffer. Apple EQ lets you save a wide range of presets optimized for each scenario, so your audio always feels intentional, personal, and immersive.
