Create playlists and organize your music library by playlist, artist, album title, song title, genre, or composer
Quickly dial in your sound with EQ preset modes for a variety of listening situations.
Environment mode
Environment mode allows you to accentuate the ambient noise around you. This is especially useful when you want to listen to music or are on a phone call, yet you still want to be aware of the sounds around you.
To use environment mode, push the vertical switch on the back of the right earcup to the up position.
In the ShurePlus PLAY app, you can adjust the environment mode across ten levels:
Active noise cancellation
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) allows you to suppress some or all of the noise around you. This is especially useful when travelling where road noise in a car, bus, or train, or jet noise in an airplane can force you to increase the volume.
To use ANC, push the vertical switch on the back of the right earcup to the down position.
In the ShurePlus PLAY app, you can adjust the ANC between two levels:

Adjusting EQ
Select and adjust frequency, gain, and bandwidth in the equalizer.
Equalization Explained
The 4-band parametric equalizer is used to adjust the volume of independent, adjustable frequency ranges, to precisely shape the frequency response. The equalizer can be bypassed for a flat frequency response.
Frequency Select the center frequency of the filter to cut/boost.
Gain
Bandwidth or Q
Adjusts the level for a specific filter.
Adjusts the range of frequencies affected by the filter. The value is represented in octaves.
Commonly used EQ Adjustments
Treble boost for improved speech intelligibility: Add a high shelf filter to boost frequencies greater than 1 kHz by 3-6 dB
Ambient HVAC noise reduction: Add a low cut filter to attenuate frequencies below 200 Hz
Reduce flutter echoes and sibilance: Identify the specific frequency range that "excites" the room:
1.
2.
3.
Set a narrow Q value
Increase the gain to between +10 and +15 dB, and then experiment with frequencies between 1 kHz and 6 kHz to pin point the range of flutter echoes or sibilance
Reduce the gain at the identified frequency (start between -3 and -6 dB) to minimize the unwanted room sound
Reduce hollow, resonant room sound: Identify the specific frequency range that "excites" the room and lower it:
1.
2.
3.
Set a narrow Q value
Increase the gain to between +10 and +15 dB, and then experiment with frequencies between 300 Hz and 900 Hz to pinpoint the resonant frequency
Reduce the gain at the identified frequency (start between -3 and -6 dB) to minimize the unwanted room sound
