IMO, Boss blew it on the documentation. If it helps anyone: there's a slow blink and a fast blink to the bluetooth LED on the phones. The slow blink makes it try to pair MIDI, the fast blink makes it try to pair AUDIO. To get to the audio, hold the bluetooth button in until the slow blink turns faster. Now it will try to pair for audio (not midi).
Thank you for that info, I just spent 2 hours trying to pair AUDIO, with your advice it worked immediately, I can not believe that they did not put that in the manual. Thanks a lot.
I’m trying to pair to audio and when I hold my Bluetooth button up to the Plus sign it doesn’t even blink for me. The light just stays Blue. Anyone able to help?
Hey Alex, excellent video. Just got my waza today and thanks to you have quickly learned to use them. Amazing sound from them, well worth the price. They blow fenders micro out of the water. You did a great job on the video. I've seen so many guitarists videos made by people who can't even finish a sentence without 2 "ummm" pauses in the sentence. You are articulate and straight to the point. I appreciate that so much. Keep up the good work and thank you so much.
Thank you Alex. As someone who is admittedly a bit of a Luddite, I really appreciate your presentation. Your style was concise, linear, and easily digestible even for a technophobe such as myself.
Thank you Alex. These headphones are superb. I LOVE the sound of them and the effect. You really think you are in a room. The video helped me see the difference between MiDi and Audio for connecting to backing tracks and the app. Beautiful playing man as well. Thanks Boss for making these. They will make me a better player and the sounds are inspiring. Great job.
Hi Mate did you have any trouble connecting the phones to the mobile app? on your phone I heard you need a Gyro on the mobile to control the amp location?.. thanks.
Great video thank you. I just got my unit and was surprised how bad the supplied instructions are. Not a mention of the app and without your video I would have been scratching my head to work out the difference between pairing the app and pairing to stream music. Still, the headphones are pretty great but really should be shipped with simple instructions like yours. Thank you
Great gear! But It would be nice to have the next features: - Posibility to play wile charging - Posibility to connect an expression pedal and looper - Better distorsion tones or better tones in the boss tone central
I got mine just last month and am totally pleased except: Gyro looses its place quite often, therefore I run mainly in surround mode. Also great but for 400 bucks should work without a hitch. Boss also should have included a double cable for charging both units at the same time. I mean really, who want to take the time to charge separately. And 5 hours without a charge is not realistic from my experience. 3 hours max.
Alex Hutchings you are the "BOSS". I seriously think you should collaborate with Boss and make the Alex Hutchings signiture pedal tha "AH1". As I said before I would get the first one if I could. Knowing you, it would be a killer of a pedal with loads of gimzos on it. That would be Boss....Peace Brother. Take care and be safe...
Mama i Love Boss Effects . To me Boss is the Best Effects by far. And Alex Hutchings 1 of my Top 15 Favorite Guitarists of all Time. Very cool guy and an Outstanding worldclass Guitarist.
I have found the Waza-Air to be the best practice tool I have ever owned. I would love a Waza-Air looper pedal, that can be controlled by footswitches. Kind of like the Boomerang III. Oh, I also need an improved headphone design (lighter and more stealthy) with noise cancellation. Something like the Sony XM4s. I would like to block out as much ambient noise as possible to get into the zone.
We paid a lot of money for this, and the app is absolutely awful, it disconnects constantly, do you guys even read your reviews? Fix the app for god sake -_-
Does anybody know how I can play with a backing track transferred to the headphones too from an iPhone or iPad? In other words I want to practice with my headphones on and backing tracks from RU-vid also in my headphones.
My question is will the quality of the guitar effect the quality of the guitar sound through these headphones or do all guitars sound exactly the same through this?
Had mine for about a week now. They are certainly not as responsive as large speakered amp with headroom but they are pretty incredible for headphones. My tele absolutely retains all the tele spank through them, my 335 are warmer and darker through them. I really can’t recommend these enough.
He could have the actual connected headphones on the binaural mic while he plays through the transmitter. If true, the headphones on his head are just there to show user how to use. Only other choice would be how other reviewers are showing it: player plays guitar while headphones sit on microphone head somewhere else. Comments on those videos show that folks didn’t like that either.
These are definitely for me ,I am a beginner and I play on headphones so only I can hear my “noise”. My problem is the cord is annoying and the sound is not as good as just the amp out loud. Couple that with the cord to the guitar and it’s a pit ! These are like someone saw my pain and made me a product ,just need to save some coin and I’ll sign up for sure. 🤙🎸🇦🇺
I feel your pain. I was using regular headphones with my amps and both the cord and the crappy sound were constant issues. This product fixes those things for me.
Well done, Alex. However I wonder if you could comment about its latency (or lack of). Bluetooth headphones I tried with guitar in the past were unusable. They were so annoying as the sound from the headphones was perceptably later than when I actually played the notes. For me, this is a deal-breaker, whatever the price. So what do you say, is there a noticeable sound delay or not?
If I have the headphones a few feet away from my head, can I hear the sound if it's on full volume? I do this at home with my BOSS GT-1 effects unit, as it's quieter than using my amp, so doesn't annoy the neighbours.
Ok connecting to phone? When I click on Bluetooth MIDI device My Note10 plus When you say select Waza Air MIDI at 5min 17sec? When I do that on my side, there are no devices showing up at all with Waza Air Midi? pair from the app? please help
Hi guys I have a volume problem when I want to play a backing track using the Bluetooth connection. The volume of my guitar is way too high compared to the backing track's volume. I am forced to low down the volume of the guitar drastically just to hear the track. Understand me well, I don't talk about the volume button of my guitar. I don't know if the culprit is my phone or the Waza-air... Have you got this problem too? If yes, can you help me. Thanks a lot. Pascal from France.
Great video, I’ve got this device and trying to figure it out. Sorry but I wish you had toned down on the guitar playing, it’s distracting and too loud.
Bought this yesterday and very happy with the experience in terms of sounds and features. Not very happy with the built quality. it feels not so robust. Boss should have done a better job with a material given that this is very expensive.
Really, the has degraded in the last year. It is not trustworthy as an android app or iOS. In g Fact, the android app no longer works at all.iPhone works on midi but NOT audio? iPad works on audio but not midi.
Plug your guitar to the wah pedal input (either with a cable or with another wireless transmitter like the WI20), plug the waza air transmitter to the wah output and you should be good to go.
Apart from music, can I still use these to Bluetooth to my iPad and phone to listen and watch things like RU-vid, films etc? Also I don’t have good hearing out of my left ear, would the surround sound help with that? I’ve tried some headphones that gave the the impression I had perfect hearing.
Can you explain how I can use my Boss WAZA with the Boss Pocket GT? I am not finding a way and it will be very stupid not to be able to use the two together.
07/24/2020: Hello, Tom from Orlando Florida. What is the dB level? I already have Tinnitus, so ai do not wish to damage my ears anymore. The following information was copied and posted here: Decibels & Damage Sound is measured in units called decibels (dB). Sounds of less than 75 decibels, even after lengthy exposure, are unlikely to cause hearing loss. However, extended or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 decibels (approximately the level of a vacuum cleaner) can cause hearing loss.
You can do it, for example you can stream the backing track from ultimate-guitar.com to the headphones where it's mixed with the guitar sound that you set up in the boss app. The headphones can be used as any other bluetooth headphones.
Have paired with phone and the headphones don’t play any audio. Always on the phone speaker 😡 tried 50 times or so and it isn’t playing. This app is pretty bad.
