It seems like every day there's a new macOS Sequoia feature to look forward to, or some kind of improvement to Apple's incoming operating system, with a newly spotted one opening the doors to better accessibility on the audio front.
MacRumors has been busy playing with the macOS 15 developer beta and discovered this new functionality in System Settings. In Headphone Accommodations (under Accessibility > Audio), you can change the sound of your AirPods and some Beats headphones.
The settings it contains allow you to amplify softer sounds, so they are heard more easily, and change the audio output frequencies to make your music, phone calls, and sounds clearer (or at least that's the idea). From what we can see, the new settings you run will persist when you use your AirPods on devices other than your Mac.
This could be a really useful feature for those who are hearing impaired to some extent, and it's a capability that has been on iOS devices for some time. So while it's certainly a very commendable step forward for accessibility with macOS, some people are wondering why it took so long to bring this functionality to the Mac.
Still, we're glad to see it's coming, and in the lead-up to the release of macOS Sequoia, we're seeing a lot of interesting new features and tweaks appear that seem to be popular.
A recent example is the solution to the annoying storage issue that Mac users have to deal with when it comes to downloading apps, as well as more anticipated changes like iPhone mirroring and a host of AI features powered by Apple Intelligence.
