    I’ve managed 20 minutes on my new ones and all I can say is wow. I echo everything above. The app is “ok” the charging I’m not so fussed about but the quality.. I’m impressed. I struggled to get the audio to play through my iPhone but the iPad was fine 🤷🏻‍♂️ They suit my practice needs well.. just all round marvellous!  😃

     

    oh, and thanks to @Bigwan for selling me his! 😃👍🏻

    Yes, the one you missed on the marketplace is the one I have!

     

     

    Would be nice, if they could come up with something like they have for spark it would be a killer product, I suspect it is not the market they are interested in, but as positive grid listened tto feedback and made a smaller, battery powered spark, they should do.

    Ha! Is it? Very good! 😂

     

    id like to think boss stay on top of things with software.  You never know!

    I just got mine yesterday, and spent some serious time with them last night. I also have a spark amp, so this is a mini review for people like me on the shelf.

     

    So with the case (and I can't imagine using them without the case) it is a very neat package, zips up and keeps everything together and out of the way. If you don't have the case, seriously, get the case - cant believe at the price they go for they sell without it.

    The sender itself is obviously one of the boss WL10/20 type senders, and is very handy and easy to use if you don't have an Ibanez SR. If you have an Ibanez SR, you need some kind of extension which kind of takes away from the self containedness of it, but still works ok.

    The headphones themselves are very well made and look quality, although there are quite a few small knobs and buttons to break, another good reason for the case.

    Cant comment on the battery life, I played for about 3 hours yesterday with what had come through the post without charging them.

    Sound wise they are very clear and the sound is good - so much so I used it for comparing all my basses, and I am sure it showed more detail than anything else. They are easy to pair with your phone or whatever (once you read the instructions on line as it isn't immediately obvious how to do it). The big advantage is that it is easy to use it without any software, which is pretty good as the software is kind of the let down a bit.

    As mentioned up there, there is a tuner in the app, which is frankly not very good at all - I used it a few times and then reached for my polytune clip, it can barely work out what your E is on, and your B (or is an F or a D?) well, it will let you know if it is on!

    It has the directional thing mentioned, its an interesting gimmick and I can see it being good on a guitar but I really don't know what it is trying to do, If I am on stage with my amp and I starting turning round, it doesn't really go quiet in one ear when it is away from the bass as bass is fairly directionaless and normally pretty loud. But it is there and if people like it it then it is good and it is certianly fairly clever - I guess that is where a lot of the money goes.

    It has a drum machine that is basic but functional. I used it from the app - the manual says I can use it with the little switches on the side by some combination, I didn't try that.

    The software is functional, that is about what you can say. It lets you set a basic profile, an EQ and a series of effects in a way that is not immediately obvious. The advantage there is you can put them in the 6 patches that you can then change from the buttons on the side of the headphones so you can truly use it in a portable way. This is the weak point of this compared to the spark. In the software for that you have a set of 4 presets, and if you select those you can change amp type, alter the values on that amp, pick effects and the order of them visually, switch them on and off. You also have the supurb song selection packs, where not only do you have jam packs that you can jam along to, you can pick any song from your library and play it, and the software will work out the chords and structure for you and move along with the song, an excelent learning aid. There is nothing like that in the Waza airs.

    This portability has to be the strong point of this, you can take it anywhere - it would be ideal if you want to go and pick up a bass (but don't forget your extension leads if it is an ibanez).

     

    All in all for this you are paying for sound quaility and portability. And quality. If you are an experienced these are about as good as you can get for playing. If you are a beginner or intermediate, or aren't moving around much you would be far better off with the spark which loses on the portability (although they now make a battery one) and a bit of quality in exchange for much better software, eaiser to use and select effects, and auto tabbing of any song you want to select. As well as having a speaker for non quiet practice.

     

    I am glad I got them, but they are expensive. I can see where the money goes although it is dissapointing they are so much more than the guitar ones when it is almost certainly the same hardware, it would have been nice if they had spent some of the money on some better software in the app, but you are largely paying for a total absense of wires, where the spark you need a headphone lead. Although if you have an SR, you need a guitar extension lead, so not entirely lead free

     

    Great review. Mine arrive tomorrow 🤞🏻
     

    with any luck they’ll continue to develop the software 😃

    I think that Rob and Dawn are doing absolutely the right thing and should be very proud of their contribution to the music industry. 
    I’d like to personally thank them for making my journey into custom builds very special and so pain free! I’d especially like to thank them for producing this magnificent instrument. Enjoy your retirement Rob & Dawn! 😃
     

    Thank you Status.

    Damn. I’m in danger of becoming the most frequent poster on this thread🤦🏻‍♂️Another top deal/trade. Even sorted out the door to door shipping. I think this is the 3rd bass deal 😂
     

    I genuinely can’t stress enough how nice and honest this bloke is. 
     

    Thanks again mate! 😃👍🏻
