The only reason I use the app is also the most useful: switching between paired devices. I have them paired to 4 different products (laptop, phone, tablet, and tv) so switching the active ones is much easier with a visual menu.
I just use the switch on the side to change devices. It reads out the name of each device as you switch so it’s still clear what you’re changing to.
I never installed the app purely because I’ve never had a reason. Then the spying stuff just reinforced my hatred of every single device these days needing one. I now specifically look for hardware devices that don’t need an app or cloud service account.
Unfortunately the switch only allows you to connect to one device at a time - if you want to use the dual source feature (which is a huge bonus for me when i’m at my desk) you gotta use the app to manage it.
You mean audio from from two sources at once? I didn't realize that was a feature. That's wild but I'm not going to install and use an app for just that feature.
My headphones will sometimes automatically switch between sources when it recognizes I'm using another device. Like when I'm listening to music on my PC, if I start browsing my phone I'll start heading audio from it instead.
That’s odd because I swear mine does. I don’t use that feature but I’ve definitely had it connect to multiple at once as I rotate through then I change again to get the single device I want.
I'm not so sure. Mine will automatically connect to both my MacBook (even when closed) and phone, usually selecting as primary the one I didn't care for (the second source has a perceptible delay) making me cycle over all the combinations. I've never installed the app not changed any configuration.
