Why do you need a special app to use headphones? Is this really what the future looks like?
- RKearney 7y agoYou don’t. The last pair of Bose headphones I had came with instructions to download the app which I just ignored. The headphones worked perfectly fine without the app.
- paranoidrobot 7y agoYou need it if you want to turn off or change the noise cancellation mode.
- hckrnwsthrwwy 7y agoThere is a button that cycles through high-low-no noise cancellation on mine
- rconti 7y agoNot on the first gen, however, I had no use for the app and deleted it after the first time I played with it. My plan was to download the app whenever I wanted to do something, then immediately delete.
- tty2300 7y agoBy default the button is set to use voice controls with your phone. The app let's you make it do anc controls
- amlozano 7y agoWhen you buy a new pair these days, pressing that button causes the headphones to say "Configure the action button in the Bose Connect App"
- POTUS 7y agoThey have some actual features in there like find my buds, music sharing and noise cancellation controls. Also there’s some settings adjustments like standby times, connections and voice prompts. It’s actual pretty useful.
