BTS for WAZA-AIR 4+

Wait for version 2??

I bought these headphones during the lockdowns in early 2020. I got frustrated with the software being too complicated and not compatible with ipad as it refuses to go into landscape mode, so gradually just stopped using them. I put it down to the concept being new and thought I’d wait for the inevitable software updates to finally de-bug an otherwise good product.
Cut to 2024 and I get a new guitar. My memory went to those headphones I paid a fortune for with the terrible software. I bought those way back during Covid. Surely a product made by a huge company like Boss would be reacting to feedback and constantly improving the customer experience? They must have a fully upgraded interface by now? Right?
Well actually no! It appears that in the four years these have sat in the draw I’ve missed nothing.
THEY HAVE MADE ZERO SOFTWARE UPDATES/UPGRADES IN FOUR YEARS!!!!
CRIMINALLY BAD!!!!

Great headphone amp. Rubbish app!

I’d agree wholeheartedly with the majority of reviews on this. Headphones/virtual amp are excellent and the modelling sounds from the katana amps and BOSS virtual pedals are excellent. App is very poor though, so accessing anything but the 6 factory presets is difficult. The app opened up the first time I used it but has only worked twice since then; and even then only when I had to reinstall the app. That means it’s worked about once in ten times which is totally unacceptable. BOSS need to roll out some corrective software immediately to sort this and avoid losing potential new customers. 5 stars + for the headphones. Zero for the app.

Love the headphones, hate the app.

Boss Waza Air headphones are an awesome product, there's no denying it. They sound awesome, they're comfortable and well built, the battery life is good, and they've totally revolutionised my guitar practice at home, but... The app is shocking.

The range of effects and level of control that you have over the effects is mind-boggling, but so too is the user interface. Single dials for multiple effects; complicated routes to change which effects are on the dials; unclear menus; and a weird "light" scheme to denote which effect is associated with each (half!) of the dials. It's a mess!

It would be so much better if it worked as a "virtual pedal board" with a number of slots, hold on the slot to select and set up the pedal you want in that position then click on the slot to turn the pedal on and off. Simples! Maybe more complex to program, but it's impossible to navigate as it is, unless you've got a degree in music technology and a spare 15 hours to set it all up.
