Customizable Sound with a 10-Band Parametric EQ

What truly sets the Snosky TINY apart is its built-in DSP engine paired with a 10-band parametric equalizer. This lets you tailor your sound with meticulous precision—boost those bass lines, tame mid frequencies, or brighten the highs to match your mood or your headphones' character.

And here’s a modern touch: your custom EQ profiles can be saved to the cloud and shared with other audio enthusiasts. Imagine swapping your perfect playlist EQ settings with friends or discovering new audio tweaks from the community. Plus, compatibility spans a whopping array of devices: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and even gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch and PS5, thanks to support for USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0.

Now, about those two variants:

  • TINY A features a 3.5mm headphone jack plus a USB-C passthrough port. This combo means you can listen to your music while charging your phone simultaneously—a blessing for on-the-go power users. The USB-C port supports fast charging up to 2A/20V, making sure your device stays juiced up without missing a beat.
