User level: Level 1 (4 points)Hey all. just wondering, given that the Powerbeats Pro 2 have the H2 chip, whether or not they’ll be given EQ support in IOS 27? I updated to IOS 27 and still haven’t gotten the option for it on my Beats.

The H2 chip by itself doesn’t appear to be enough for Apple’s new Custom EQ feature.
Apple’s current iOS 27 documentation lists Custom EQ for specific AirPods models only: AirPods 4/5, AirPods Pro 2/3, and AirPods Max 2. Powerbeats Pro 2 aren’t on that list.

So if you’ve updated to iOS 27 and don’t see Equalizer in the Powerbeats Pro 2 settings, you’re not missing a switch.
You can still use Settings > Accessibility > Audio & Visual > Headphone Accommodations with Powerbeats Pro 2 to adjust the sound somewhat, but that isn’t the same three-band Low/Mid/High EQ.
