Skullcandy 9+

I've had these headphones for years and they work perfectly and sound great. I can't recommend them enough for occasional use and listening to music.. But this app on the other hand i do not recommend at all. It has never worked for me even though I've had the headphones that should connect. I've tried every remedy online that people have suggested aaaand nothing has worked. I also should not have to try every remedy in order just to get them to connect to the APP but here i am. Hope it all works for everyone else but from the looks of it.. I'm not the only one.

Update: after complaining.. I finally get it to work but the only real thing you can do with the app is have the manual with you and adjust your volume and that's about it. Everything is still just on the headphones with the physical buttons.. Which is nice but it would be nice to have all the settings you have to adjust physically ALSO adjustable on your phone.

With the new Sesh ANC, I have not had the vast majority of problems described by other users in their reviews of this app paired with other headphones. Given the complex nature of the earphone two button press-and-hold command sequence, it’s a good idea to have the EQ selection offloaded to a visual interface; changing the noise cancellation mode is easier this way as well, although having the ability to adjust ANC with the physical earphone buttons remains useful on a daily basis. It would be an improvement if the headphones themselves would remember the ANC setting rather than having to choose every time they are removed from the case and it’s my hope that this can be included in a firmware update. The only major problem that I’ve had with this app is that if it is not force-closed from the iOS background app selection, the right earphone will cut out frequently; this issue will persist through re-syncing and resetting the earphones according to the manual’s instructions. I was almost ready to return these new earphones to the store before realizing that there is no connectivity issue with audio played from the iPhone to the earphones when the Skullcandy app is not running and not connected to the Sesh ANC. The app can be used to change settings, but must be force-closed when finished or the aforementioned connection issue will occur repeatedly throughout my regular use.

Works okay with Indy ANC, mostly pointless though. I've written to Skullcandy suggesting that the headphone controls should be user configureable through the app, got a boiler plate non-response describing the "features" that are provided by the software. Would it really be that difficult to let us select which functions we want? Not asking to add new controls, just to toggle existing stuff off and on. I'd like to turn off everything but pause and volume, no track controls are needed for my use and for the love of Pete NO siri or voice control! It tries to open Siri even though "she's" intentionally disabled on my phone and then proceeds to audibly notify me that voice control/dialing or siri is disabled- Yeah, 'cause I turned it off but thanks, goofy robot voice. We should also have a switch to shut the voice prompts off. Apple needs to address the siri/vc issue as well, all headphones attempt to open that talking abomination. 250 megabyte program to deliver 3 preset EQ profiles, ANC/pass-though switch and firmware checks that'll probably never see an update is the best you can do with this? Bloated nonsense. I don't get it.
