Makes headphones borderline unusable

since there is no way to turn off noise cancelling without opening an app for some annoying reason, you will be forced to open the slowest app known to man and sit there for a good few minutes while the app tries to figure out if your headphones are connected or not (they are), just to do something your headphones should already be able to do without opening truly stupid and useless app

Terrible app that does not save settings

Sonys speak to chat feature is very frustrating when it is turned off and it decided to randomly re activate once a week. Absolutely ridiculous.
Oh and good luck changing the device your headphones are connected to now! Only reason there are better than the Bose. Claude code could fix this in like 10 minutes

Connecting pains

Never in my life have I ever had so much trouble trying to connect a device to an app that was already connected to my phone. Great headphone god awful app.

Terrible app that I shouldn’t need

All I want is to turn off the media control touch controls that DON’T WORK. I should not need a dedicated app to do that and the app should be available on my computer if I do. But no, I have to download an app on my phone to get my headset to stop pausing and skipping media on my computer and then this useless app won’t even detect my headphones.

Can't customize controls, two device mode is terrible

You can't really customize the controls of these headphones. You can only choose between some presets. But these buttons are way too easy to press accidentally so I don't want any control for one press. But you can't customize it like that. So I just had to turn everything off. Get something else.
