Why does the BEACN App show a Hearing Warning or "EQ Differential Too Great" on BEACN Headset?
The Headphone EQ on BEACN Headset has two safety messages. Neither one means something is broken.
You see Hearing Warning: boosting EQ raises your headphone level - lower your output to compensate.
It appears the first time you boost a band by more than 6 dB while you’re on the Headset Headphones page. Boosting makes everything louder, so lower your Headphone Level a little to keep your listening level safe.
Choosing a preset or a hearing profile doesn’t show it, only your own changes. You see it at most once each time you open the page.
You see WARNING: EQ Differential Too Great when your left and right ears are unlinked and you set a band more than 4 dB away from the other ear.
The App keeps your ears within 4 dB of each other by adding a matching, hidden change to the other ear, so the difference never goes beyond 4 dB. The message appears the first time this happens each time you open the page.
To tune both ears together, turn the link back on. See Using the Headphone EQ on BEACN Headset.
Binaural Personalization measures each ear and builds a correction for you. See Binaural Personalization: create your Preference EQ.
