Ratings and reviews

The app doesn't recognize the headphones anymore. When the app worked, it did the basics and that's about it. Was hoping they'd improve the ANC on a 500€ headphone (the ANC is worse than a sub-200€ headphone, but audio quality is great) with a firmware update, but that's definitely not happening when the app doesn't work.

Terrible experience with this app. It only works when you pair your headphones for the first time. Thereafter it will no longer recognize the headphones connect. You first need to "Forget" the device in Bluetooth settings and add it again and then it only works until the next disconnect. Terrible reliability.

The app is excellent at what it does; the problem is that it doesn't do much. As of is have stated, you cannot control the EQ directly. You are limited to a series of presets. One other thing I found annoying is that there is a period of silence between when you change from one preset to another so it's hard to compare because they're not directly back to back. It's probably a trivial concern but I found it frustrating.
