Ratings and reviews

App hangs android phone. xm5 buds, oneplus 10pro, this app. All latest software and the app works flawlessly when I want to switch devices. I have over 5 devices connected and switch between these devices during the day. Once I put the buds into the box, my phone screen is unresponsive. It happens every time. You can't easily restart the phone when screen does not work but all is back to normal after a reset.

1. "Speak to chat" turns on REGULARLY, unprompted. There is no equivalent app to this on PC. So it turns on, I laugh, and it pauses. For 20 secondss. I have to switch to my phone, turn STC off, and switch back to PC. Frustrating 2. Needs a MUCH better equalizer. The equalizer adjustment range should start near 1 hz, and go up to 16k hz. It also needs WAY more in-between sliders, so I can adjust how the music sounds depending on the specific instruments playing in the orchestra I listen to.

Edit: firmware update destroyed battery life in right earbud :( good app otherwise, no recourse from Sony. Find your equalizer is really cool! Like at the optometrist, they give you a bunch of settings to pick which one you like the best, with fine tuning. Worked well for me! Make sure you're ok with custom slot 2 being overwritten!
