Perfect Tune® is Zildjian’s advanced sound personalization technology that makes your listening experience completely your own. It analyzes how you hear different frequencies and automatically adjusts the audio mix to fit your unique hearing profile. The result? You hear every note in full detail - even at lower volumes - exactly as the artist intended.

Using a quick in-app hearing test, Perfect Tune® maps how your ears hear sound across a wide range of frequencies. Based on your results, the headphones adjust the audio output in real time to fill in any frequency gaps, giving you a perfectly balanced, highly detailed listening experience that’s tailored specifically to you.

• Hear every detail in your music, even subtle ones you may have been missing.
• Enjoy safer listening with lower volumes that still sound full and rich.
• Experience music the way the artist created it: balanced, accurate, and personal.

Most headphones offer preset EQ modes or genre-based profiles. Zildjian Perfect Tune® goes much deeper. It personalizes the sound based on your unique hearing profile, mapping both ears individually.
Instead of adapting to the music, Zildjian ALCHEM-E Headphones adapt to you.

Yes! Once you complete the hearing test and enable Perfect Tune® in the Zildjian app, your personalized settings are saved directly onto the headphones. Your tuning stays active no matter which device you’re
listening on, even if that device doesn’t have the app installed.

Perfect Tune® is not a medical tool; it’s designed to help you get the most out of your listening experience. If you have concerns about your hearing, we recommend consulting a hearing care professional or audiologist.

The Zildjian app requires iOS 13.0 or later. Once your profile is saved, the headphones will retain your personalized settings across any device you listen on.

Yes. Once applied, your custom EQ settings are saved directly onto the headphones and remain active until you choose to change or disable them in the app.

Scrubbing is only supported when you're connected via Bluetooth, and not all devices support this feature. For example, some Android models do not support Bluetooth scrubbing. This is a limitation of the source device, not the headphones.

Not at all! While inspired by Zildjian’s musical heritage, Zildjian ALCHEM-E Headphones are built for anyone who loves music and wants a fully personalized, premium listening experience - whether you’re a musician or a music lover.

Your hearing can change over time, so you’re always welcome to retake the hearing test if you’d like to refresh your profile. Otherwise, your settings stay saved until you update or turn them off.

No. The app is only needed for setup and adjustments. Once your personalization is saved, you can enjoy your Perfect Tune® profile on any device, even without the app. We recommend checking the app periodically for firmware updates that can improve or add functionality.
