How To: The Galaxy S8's 'Adapt Sound' Feature Makes Your AKG Headphones Actually Sound Premium
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ come with a set of AKG-tuned earbuds that would cost you $99 by themselves. Unfortunately, the earbuds alone don't automatically translate to superior sound, and they've been met with lukewarm reception. But as it turns out, there's a fairly hidden menu on Samsung's flagships that'll give you a tailor-made audio experience and help you get the most out of your S8-AKG pairing.A feature called Adapt Sound is buried pretty deep in Settings, but it's definitley worth digging into. It basically runs a hearing test to provide a personalized sound profile that matches your hearing perfectly. Once you've run the test, the sound output from any set of headphones will be adjusted to fit you — so if you're interested in fine-tuning your Galaxy S8's audio, keep on reading to find out how.Don't Miss: The 4 Best Phones for Music Lovers & Audiophiles

From there, leave the preset options turned off, then select "Personalize sound."

Step 2: Take the Hearing TestNow, head to a quiet place and plug in your headphones. When you're ready, tap on the "Start" button to initiate the test. Adapt Sound will now emit a series of beeps of varying frequencies from the left and right earbuds, and along the way, it'll ask if you can hear each tone.Take your time and answer honestly until the test reaches 100%. As you go along you'll notice that your phone is creating a personalized equalizer tailored to each ear. Once the process is completed, it's time to move on to the final step.

Step 3: Finalize Your Audio ProfileUpon completion of the test, Adapt Sound will ask for you to select which ear you'd like to hear your phone calls in. Once you've chosen your preference, your newly created custom audio profile will be activated and made available for preview. So tap on "Preview" and check out the difference Adapt Sound makes by toggling between "Personalized" and "Original." Of course, we recommend playing your favorite song to determine exactly how much of an impact Adapt Sound made on sound quality. We're willing to be it'll be like night and day — particularly if your hearing wasn't perfect to being with.

Because I compared some Spotify songs with songs I own that I have tagged with ReplayGain tags and 89.0 dB target volume. These pretty much have the same volume as their Spotify counterparts with Spotify normalization enabled. But I think my local MP3s sound a little better than the 320 kBit Spotify streams, in general.

For casual "shuffle" listening, you can enable Spotify's 'set the same volume level for all tracks' option - and put up with some pretty crass limiting on more dynamic material, unfortunately. If you want to listen to a whole album with the internal dynamics intact and no extra limiting, you can disable it.
