BOSS WAZA-AIR Wireless Guitar Headphones System, WAZA-Air (WAZA-AIR)

As soon as you pull it out of the box it looks and feels like a quality product. When I unboxed it, in my excitement, I just turned the headset on, plugged in my bass, started a track on my iPhone and it worked. I couldn't believe it. It has some cool features so eventually you'll need to 'review' the user doc. But overall, the phone app is pretty intuitive. Since receiving the WAZA Air I have used it a lot. Occasionally the Bluetooth gets wonky, and you have to go through re-pairing. It would also be nice if the battery level was more apparent, you have to go into system settings to check it. I wish I had known they made a bass version, but I am very happy with what I have. It sounds and works great!

First, let’s talk about the sound quality. I was originally looking for a really great set of headphones that I could plug-in and get truly great sound. When these headphones popped up in the suggestions I was skeptical. That lasted until my first listen. All of my guitars sound crisp and clear and bright. The sound is actually better than my beats studio threes and I imagine they would compare favorably to any other $400 pair of headphones.Now let’s talk about the tech. Being able to plug-in the little fob into my guitar and have it play through the headphones is awesome! When I was first looking at headphones I told myself that I would be content dealing with the cord. This completely illuminates that. So strictly as a practice device you get fantastic sound quality and a no Mas no fuss set up with no wires.The tech contained in this unit is simply magnificent. It’s going to be a little bit difficult to describe but I’ll try. When everything is connected the app that runs on your smart phone can be set up so that as you move your head the sound of your guitar actually changes position. I know, it sounds weird. But it’s awesome! Imagine that you’re playing the guitar facing your amp and then you move your head to the left and the sound of the amp stays in the same position so it would be louder in your right ear which is closer to the speaker. And then as you move your head the other way it’s still seems like the amp hasn’t moved even though your head is moved. In one of the settings the 3-D sound that you’re getting from the headphones makes it seem like the speakers are behind you. So imagine that you’re fronting a band and the band is playing behind you and you were playing guitar in front of them. Yeah. It sounds like that.I highly recommend that you watch some of the videos so that you can see how this feature works. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen and it’s amazing to play with. Hearing is absolutely believing.If you are technologically challenged, this might not be the set up for you. There is a very specific set of instructions that you need to follow in order to set these up so that you can play your guitar and also listen to music streaming from your phone to play along with. If you do not follow the instructions or if you get impatient you are going to get frustrated. That being said, it’s worth taking the time, reading the instructions carefully, and making sure that you set everything up correctly. That investment of time and effort will pay huge dividends because this set up is like nothing you’ve ever Heard short of actually playing in front of a band.I highly recommend this.

Great headphone wonderful sound

This is the 3rd device I have bought. I avoided buying it before because of the cost. The problem is the cheaper ones sound like crap. This one sounds awesome. Lots of cool effects. It’s easy to balance the backing tracks with live guitar. Just awesome!You might as well save the money of trying cheaper ones so you don’t end up buying 3 like me.I first bought this at the big guitar store. It looked like the box had been opened and it was missing the cable and paperwork so is assumed it was a return. It kept disconnecting so I returned it. I ordered it again but this one from Amazon. After a couple hours I have yet to have any connectivity issues. If I do I think I would just tolerate it because there doesn’t seem to ge a good alternative.

For the few moments I was actually able to connect and hear my guitar through the headphones... the sound was crisp and clear - very high end. PROBLEM!!!!!! - The APP would not connect via bluetooth to the headphones. My phone and my tablets all see the headphones and will connect, BUT you are instructed to NOT CONNECT your device first, You are instructed to open the APP and connect via bluetooth through the APP. - This is were these headphones FAIL. I have two new android tablets that I use to connect to Spark and other devices. These tablets see the headphones and will connect, however going in to the program to connect there first or last just FAILED every time.I finally got the headphones to connect though the APP using a Samsung Galaxy S8 android phone. Started playing and poof connection lost. So i tried to reconnect - I get an error message "Wrong Device" and it fails to connect.I've tried rebooting both the phone / tablets and the headphones, I've tried through the APP first, then tried after first connecting through the phone / tablet then going into the APP - no luck.$400 headphones should not be such a hassle to try and use, these headphones deserve a much better APP.

These headphones are really cool! it really is a game changer to just plug in the transmitter, put the headphones on, and be playing wirelessly in a few seconds. Super simple to use, comfortable headphones, and great sound. Also worth noting that you can tweak the sounds infinitely on the boss tone central app and save up to 6 presets I believe. Which brings me to the one huge downside (for my use): You can't record out these sounds. This was a deal breaker for me and I went with a mustang micro instead. I did not like that I would be practicing and coming up with ideas and could not record them. Also, what's the point of having infinite sounds to tweak and presets if you can't ever use them in a recording?In conclusion, I think these headphones are the absolute best solution for PRACTICE. But that's it. hope this helps. cheers!
