The app could be a little more responsive and quicker between interactions but I understand that this is a different kind of issue and may not be possible. One major thing the app needs is widget options and some Lock Screen icons for apple users. For example being able to se what my Crusher level is at or even my ANC intensity, and being able to tap it and instantly open the app to change it quicker. The last thing that I think others including myself would enjoy with the app would be speaker integrations, like with the skullcandy barrel or stomp. I would like to be able to see the exact battery level or be able to turn on the bass boost on the barrel from the app. So far my experience has been delightful but these small details make the greatest impact. I know that this probably won’t be read by anyone but I just want to say that the entire skullcandy lineup of speakers and headphones has been amazing to use on my day to day commute. I would like to include my customer service has been phenomenal. When I had problems with my crusher evo’s I sent them back with the warranty and they weren’t able to replace them but instead they made it up to me by giving me more than what I paid for and I was extremely pleased and amazed with the service I received and how fast and professional the dealt with this. Thank you

One day ...Long story short the app seems easy to use fun to mess around with and everything was fine. I worked up my preferred sound base etc. not issues at all. One day when connecting my headphone per usual I was prompted to allow the app to sync with the headphones to allow the assistant features and to access the app and for some reason the headphones no longer connect. I am able to still listen to music and control the sound with the buttons on the headphones but can no longer access the app as it lets me know the headphones are in range and can connect. When I go to press connect it just loads for a fee and an error comes up letting me know to try again and to make sure the headphones are in range? I have deleted the app recent the headphones disconnected the blue tooth all the things you can think of to reset this thing but just won’t connect. I noticed another review with the same issue from November as well. And I’ve only used these headphones about a dozen times not sure what it could be and if it’s an app issue seems to still not be fixed.

Users should be able to try each others settings out, and see what they like with a broader range in the EQ (not the small dials, more detail. TOZO offers these superior features in their app, and their earbuds show more dynamic capabilities because of it and their products are significantly cheaper. Skullcandy is close with the method earbuds, but this app need a complete overhaul. The AI is Al’s useless still, I was expecting some more improvements by now for the $150 price tag, but it is so pointless still and not to mention it is not hard to add an active translation option for the newest products as well. This app should be getting updates every other week this early in its development. It still feels like a beta experiment, not the one thing that I cannot stand about the earbuds. Get more creative and take serious notes about all of the features in the TOZO app. Badly needs a complete overhaul update to compete, because right now it is definitely at the very bottom of the barrel when it comes to audio device apps.

I use IOS and was hoping that it would connect as one with the phone like Bose and Apple AirPods. I hate that I have to use an app to enjoy the features of my headphones. It’s incredible inconvenient when you are in a hurry and need to turn Always aware on but it won’t follow your tap command without being connected to the app. I’m having issues with Bluetooth interference noise when on the phone and I can’t get it to go away even with a hard reset. I have only had the method 360 since Aug 18th and they have been great except the last 3 weeks all of the sudden. I plan on returning the ones I have and trying to order the same but different color. As of right now I’m not pleased with the quality of the app and buds. The cost is high for them not to work

If the app doesn’t connect to the earbuds I am currently listening to music playing from my phone less than 2 feet away (so CLEARLY the earbuds connect, my brand new iphone works, my bluetooth is on, my earbuds are charged) and yet I just get a loading screen and every 10 mins or so I get “Try Again” and “did you try turning it off, turning it back on. Yeah. Wow. I did thanks. I can’t fix the issue with the earbuds (which is that the stock settings are TERRIBLE and I need to adjust them) without a firmware update that I can only get if I download this app and sync my earbuds? Interesting. Too bad the software is such garbage there is no menu, no way to get off this loading screen, literally no manual way to go through and pick the device I am already connected to. And no, I didn’t play music while trying to use the app. To the point - phone works, bluetooth works, app is trash, support from Skull is trash. 1 is too many stars.

For example the buttons make an obnoxious noise that I’m unable to turn off. and with the new scroll wheel thing, I absolutely hate that I’m unable to turn off or change the single press input. I can’t tell you how often I’ve gone to increase or decrease the bass just to accidentally press the button and change what I wanted. It’s annoying. I really hope someone on the scull candy team sees this, because I guarantee giving people full customization would be amazing. If you’re gonna market full customization, please give it.

Horrible headphone experience after swapping apps

They had all of a sudden stopped, even after being fully charged, and were having connection issues for about a week or so before I looked into the issue. Ever since swapping to this new app, my headphones never disconnect from my phone, forcing me to go into my settings and forgets the device every time I use them and need to put them away. Then, when I want to use them, I have to pair them all over again. This has been extremely frustrating and it’s making me consider getting new headphones all together. It’s become needlessly complicated. I used to be able to pop them out, they would connect, I would listen with them, put them away, and they would disconnect, and I could go right back to using audio from my phone within five seconds.

There’s gotta be more uninformed individuals like me that didn’t know why the screen was stuck on choose your region screen… Anyways, other than that little pothole on the road, the IQ App is pretty cool. I have the Rail ANC, and by far the best earphones I had , taking into consideration the cost, performance, durability, and style…. Oh, and of course, the many options you can control through the IQ App is second to none. My favorite option is the hearing test that personalizes and enhances your hearing experience.

One gets a working app, that connects to what it’s compatible with..like normal. The others get a useless app and lose half of the features to their headphones because the app refuses to connect to anything at all. I have anc 2 headphones (which btw I didn’t know, soon enough, they will lose about all base, the base wheel makes no difference when shot all the way up or all the way down…literally could of gotten another pair of evos for half the price) this app refuses to connect. The whole reason I’m trying this app after months of having my anc 2 is to find out whether or not I can fix the bass (like I said, there’s no more base, no rumble) but app is just giving me the finger. I give it back. Why even change the app???? The other app, used with the evos, is simple and actually works… I’m fuming and ranting I’m so fed up. I stg
