## What is PureControl ANC?

The PureControl ANC app opens up a new dimension to the PurePlay Z5 experience, providing added functionality and a personalised service to help create your own individual setup. The new Setup Assistant helps you to get started in three simple steps, making the entry into the PurePlay world easy and convenient.
The PureControl ANC app offers extensive control over various sound modes, touch control mapping, locating services and much more for the PurePlay Z5 earbuds. 
LDX™ AUDIO - The Lypertek Definition Expander (LDX™) provides a fully programmed and easy to select sound profile specifically designed for each PureControl ANC compatible earbud - taking the already impressively tuned sound to a new level, with added impact, energy and width for those who desire more.
7-BAND EQ - The 7-band EQ gives you the freedom to fully customise the sound to your taste, offering carefully developed presets and two CUSTOM presets to store your own setups.
SOUND MODES - Easily switch between ANC, AMBIENT and NORMAL sound modes with the push of a button:
• ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) uses built-in microphones to reduce the level of outside noise. It is most effective at reducing low frequency sounds such as street traffic, train or aeroplane rumble.
• AMBIENT sound mode allows you to hear the world around you without removing your earbuds. Talk to people, listen out for travel updates or just be more aware of your surroundings
• In NORMAL mode both ANC and AMBIENT are deactivated. This will also achieve maximum playback time and battery life.
• AUTO-AMBIENT™ reduces the need to interact with your earbud controls - automatically activating AMBIENT sound mode when you stop or pause audio playback. Effortlessly become aware of your surroundings, and then resume playback to switch back to your preferred listening mode. This feature can easily be switched on or off via the app.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE CONTROLS - Easily customise the touch-controls to make using your PurePlay earbuds as comfortable as possible, and be extra safe with the ability to remove single touch controls - reducing the chance of accidental presses.
FIND MY EARBUDS - Never lose your earbud(s) again. With the Find My Earbuds feature the PureControl ANC app tells you where your PurePlay true wireless earphones have been disconnected the last time and shows the location on the map.
Additionally the PureControl ANC app will inform you about the latest firmware updates and guide you through the update procedure.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The PureControl ANC app is only compatible with the PurePlay Z5 earbuds. For other PurePlay series earbuds please download the PureControl app.

### 1/5 — Very basic

*2022-02-18*

At first the app didn’t seem to have AAC support (iPhone App?). Then the app can only find the earbuds if you start the App anew. Also, I miss an option to adjust the microphone settings in the app as the earbuds are not supported for the microphone adjustments I can do directly from my iPhone. Still some work ahead…

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-02-06*

Never fails. Every time I put on my earbuds the app can’t find them. A great app is useless if you can’t use it.
