Adjust headphone audio settings on iPad
With supported Apple and Beats headphones, you can amplify soft sounds and adjust certain frequencies for your hearing. These adjustments help music, movies, phone calls, and podcasts sound more crisp and clear.
Set headphone accommodations
Go to Settings
> Accessibility > Audio & Visual > Headphone Accommodations, then turn on Headphone Accommodations.
Tap Custom Audio Setup, then follow the onscreen instructions. Or manually set any of the following:
Tune Audio For: Choose Balanced Tone, Vocal Range, or Brightness.
Level: Choose Slight, Moderate, or Strong amplification of soft sounds.
Phone: Apply these audio settings to phone calls.
Media: Apply these audio settings to media playback.
Transparency Mode: (available when you have AirPods Pro connected to iPad) Turn on Custom Transparency Mode, then adjust the amplification, balance, tone, and ambient noise reduction to help you hear what’s happening around you. You can also turn on Conversation Boost to focus on a person talking in front of you. See Customize Transparency mode for AirPods Pro in the AirPods User Guide.
