User reviews
Absolutely amazing app, simple and seamless integration with my pixel 4xl
Cool app. Buds sound great
Thanks for creating this amazing piece of technology.
Not sure about others, but I have fully updated my pair and there's no connectivity issues. I ordered them in June and got them in July. I've used them for about a week. I could possibly have gotten a newer pair, but I will update if anything else changes.
Day one of having these and I love it. The app is great, but I'm still working on proper ear placement with the buds.
Alle die sich hier über (11 MB!) "Bloatware" oder "Zwangsinstallation" aufregen, haben einfach keine Ahnung was die App tut. Es ist eine Systemerweiterung, die nicht wie üblich über das System-Update, sondern über den Play Store ausgerollt wird. Wäre dies nicht so würde das System eben 11MB mehr einnehmen...
