New Head-Fier
I think it more likely points to the adjustments being sent by the iPhone to the headphones where the local H1 processing makes the compensation after decoding from AAC. This would account for the fact that 'Headphone Accommodations' only works with 'supported Apple and Beats headphones'.Don't have mine yet and would like to hope I'm wrong but there is a giant caveat using the iPhone's Accessibility adjustments. This appeasers that adjustments are made in the iPhone and NOT the AirPods. Also it doesn't carry over to any other listening device even if Apple. For instance there are no adjustments on an AppleTV or iMac. Really wish Apple would make a detected App so you could make adjustments to the AirPods that STICK to them.
Someone please check this and hopefully prove me wrong.
Many, many years ago a friend of mine recounted how his lawyer had purchased a super-expensive and elaborate Macintosh sound system that, as part of the installation, was pre-tuned to the room acoustics and customer listening preferences by a Macintosh sales engineer. The fellow, who loved opera, was half deaf, so at his direction they cranked up the high frequencies enormously so that he could still hear the soprano sing. Thereafter whenever he started listening to his sound system, dogs all over the neighborhood would begins to howl. True story.
