That chime travels through your ear canals and bounces back to the earbuds, where it’s picked up by microphones.\n\t\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\tThe technology uses complex algorithms and mathematics to understand how the chime is changed by the size, shape and depth of your ears. For example, the architecture of your ears may amplify some pitches while muffling others. CustomTune neutralises the changes your ears have on the sound. This ensures the sound is as close to the original recording as possible.\n\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\tLike sound, the outside noise – and the noise cancelling waves the earbuds use to cancel them – are changed as they travel through your ear canals. CustomTune measures those changes caused by the shape of your ears and then compensates for them. This results in a much quieter experience. It also softens sounds that are hardest to reduce, like voices.\n\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cimg class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/hnie-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/products\/BOSE\/CO77866\/CO77866_9.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ch5\u003eHow Does CustomTune Improve Your Experience of Music?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\n\t\t\t\tWhen Rule and other Bose engineers evaluated CustomTune’s ability to block out noise, they were blown away.
