For android users, the chipset can be directly tuned, affecting the Bluetooth headphones EP650s when paired with any device. When opening ‘August Audio’ the user can directly alter the EQ manually, or choose from a wide selection of presets. The app also contains a music player, allowing you to play music directly from your device, without the need to change to a 3^rd party music player. Adding to this, the capabilities of the application extend to turning off and on the EP650s blue LED.
