Ratings and reviews

Needs Rapid Development The app doesn't let you prioritize devices. If I'm on a skype call on a computer and get a scam call on my phone, the app automatically switches to the phone. Battery life in the app has never shown more than 18 hours (20 advertised) and the level indicator still isn't full after charging overnight. The notification that is supposed to show when your headphones are connected is hit or miss. It often needs to be cleared and the app needs to be manually restarted.

A good start, but could be a bit better. The EQ does have a very noticeable impact on the sound which is a good thing, but it needs more granular controls. I wish you can change ANC level from the home screen instead of navigating through the settings. Also, like EQ, the ANC control in the app should have more granular control instead of just 3 options. Overall the app checks most of the boxes but I think there can be more features added easily.

It does provide an overview of the headphones’ settings and allows you to adjust some of them... Main issue: One is unable to change the headphones’ language (the app recommends using a PC with USB-cable, but there the similar app just outright lies and pretends not to find an Internet connection; but even if you select to change the language via Bluetooth, nothing happens).
