"As soon as I paired the earbuds to my Pixel 9 Pro, I opened the Spotify playlist I use to test earbuds and hit play. Oddly enough, the out-of-the-box sound was flat and unremarkable. I immediately thought something was wrong. First, I checked the seal on the earbuds, but that was perfectly fine. Next, I checked Spotify to make sure nothing was going on there. Nope."
"It then dawned on me to open the Creative app. First, there was a firmware update, but once that was done, I walked through the personalization tool, which was quite interesting. Also: This $99 pair of earbuds made me forget about the expensive ones - how they win The Creative app's personalization tool focuses on one ear at a time."
Pairing the earbuds produced flat out-of-the-box sound until a firmware update and the Creative app’s personalization tool improved clarity. The personalization routine tests each ear individually with tones and takes about five minutes. Additional customization with the Creative app’s 10-band EQ plus bass and treble boost further refined the sound. The combination of firmware updates, per-ear personalization, and a robust EQ transformed the listening experience from unremarkable to notably better. The earbuds also resolved a major issue with listening to music while running, representing a substantial upgrade over the previous generation.
