This wikiHow teaches you how to turn off EQ (music equalization), the feature that automatically adjusts the sound of music on your iPhone.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open your iPhone's Settings. It's the app on your desktop with a gray gear icon.
    • Because EQ is not enabled by default, you'll only have to do this if you customized your EQ settings.
  2. 2
    Scroll down and tap Music. It's about halfway down the list.

  3. 3
    Scroll down and tap EQ. It's under the “Playback” header.
  4. 4
    Scroll up and tap Off. It's the first option in the list. A blue checkmark will appear, meaning that the EQ is now disabled.
    • You can test the way your new EQ settings sound by playing a song in your music library.
