You must have heard about the features of macOS Sequoia that cater to the communications needs of Mac users. If not, then gear up to be familiar with one of those: Headphone Accommodations.
Headphone Accommodations on Mac
Headphone Accommodations is a feature which has long existed in popular Apple devices like iPhone and iPad. Given that, you might also say that Apple is just dragging an iPhone or iPad feature and dropping it onto the MacBook.
Before freaking out the crazy in you, know that the feature has been found in the beta version of the latest macOS update. But tipsters having tabs on even the most discreetly committed developments suggest its potential launch alongside its release.

On the macOS Sequoia beta, the Headphone Accommodations feature can be located in the System Settings app under Accessibility → Audio. Audio for all the variants of Apple AirPods can be tailored as per one's needs from these settings. But that is not the case for Beats headphones, as only a select variation of them is customisable here.
For say, considering Apple's remarks about customisability, users can enhance soft sounds and make amendments to specific frequencies to make music, phone calls, and other sounds to make them sound better.
From the very settings, when the audio settings of second-generation AirPods Pro are customised on macOS, the changes will remain intact when the headphones are connected to other audio sources, according to a note on Apple's developer website.
Previously, these audio configuration settings were exclusively available under the Settings app on the iPhone and iPad.
