Sidetone lets you hear your own voice during conversations so you are aware of how loud you are talking. In the Logi Tune app, select the sidetone feature, and adjust the dial accordingly.

• A higher number means you hear more external sounds.

PERSONAL EQ

• Create a personalized sound equalizer that is optimized for your hearing in the Logi Tune Mobile app.
