My Question or Issue

The music playback on the Apple Watch Ultra (via AirPods Pro 2) doesn’t sound as good as from the iPhone. Why is this? Beyond hardware limitations, is there a way to apply the current equalizer setting on the phone to playback on the Watch as well?

Hey @Skoubydoo,

Welcome to the Community and thanks for bringing your feedback.

Currently it's not possible to apply the equalizer setting on the phone to playback on the Watch as well.

On another note, seems like the Community folks have already gathered on a similar feature request and have created an Idea about this. If you'd like to see that option available, go ahead and check this idea here. Make sure you leave a +Vote to support it, so that it would have a better chance of being considered, as Spotify always strives to improve your experience.

Please note that even if an idea is currently set to “Closed - Not Enough Votes” you can still add your vote there and we revisit those ideas on regular intervals. It might be that their time would be right in the future!

You'll also find all the relevant info about our Idea Exchange and how the Community feedback gets implemented here if you'd like to know more about the topic.

 Cheers!
