Is it possible to turn off adaptive EQ on the AirPods 3? Even if I have EQ Off, it is present. It is annoying in some situations already. Especially when hearing back audio messages in public. It is also disorientating when you hear it switch from one EQ profile to another. If this cannot be changed, I will go back to the AirPods 2.

In terms of overall comfort, the AirPods 3 do not feel like an improvement. Maybe takes some getting used to but with the previous generation you didn't feel like you had them in your ear, with these, they feel really bulky.

Maybe it is possible to stick with one EQ profile by selecting something like Flat. I will need to test this later while outside in public.
