Introduction
The Shokz App is the best way to customize your audio experience. It allows you to monitor your battery levels in real time, change between EQ modes, manage multipoint pairing, and get the latest firmware updates. But how do you download the app and take advantage of its time-saving features? And in what ways is Shokz planning on upgrading the app to meet the ever-evolving needs of its users? In this article, we’ll cover it all so that you can get the most out of your OpenFit Air.
Download Shokz App
In order to access all these incredible features, you first have to download the Shokz App. For Apple users, this means opening the App Store and pressing the search function at the bottom-right corner of the screen. When you type in “Shokz,” the app will appear as the first hit. The icon is black and includes the Shokz logo, with the subheading “Be Open.” To download, press “Get” and follow the instructions.
For Android users, you can download the app by opening Google Play and pressing the search function at the bottom-right corner of the screen. When you type in “Shokz,” the black icon with the Shokz logo will appear as the first hit. To download, press “Install” and follow the instructions.
New Features
EQ Modes
Once you’ve downloaded the Shokz App, you can explore the 4 preset EQ modes and 1 custom EQ mode to enhance your listening experience. Start by turning on your phone’s Bluetooth and successfully pairing it with your headphones. When you open the app, your headphones will automatically be recognized and the EQ modes will be displayed on the screen.
Each one of the 4 fixed EQ modes is designed for a specific listening experience. The Vocal option is ideal for podcasts and voice-centric content, since it enhances vocal performance. The Bass Boost is perfect for EDM and other types of bass-heavy music, as it amplifies low-frequency effects. And the Treble Boost is great for music with a lot of brass, string, and percussive instruments, since it highlights high-frequency details. When you just want balanced sound quality, you can use the Standard option and enjoy any kind of music.
If none of these options feel right, then the Shokz App also includes a 5th, customizable EQ mode that you can tailor to your own personal preferences.
Continuous Volume Adjustment
This feature was created to address a sometimes reported problem with the OpenFit Air, in which sweat or hair accidentally touches the earbuds, triggering an unexpected and continuous change in volume. To prevent this from happening, you can now turn off Continuous Volume Adjustment in the Shokz App by following these simple steps.
First, you go to “Customize Controls.” Then you select “Press-and-Hold.” And finally, you tap the “Continuous Volume Adjustment” button so that it slides all the way to the left. When it’s turned off, the volume will only change by one level, no matter how long you hold the button for.
To turn it back on, you just have to tap the “Continuous Volume Adjustment” button again so that it slides all the way to the right. Now, you can press and hold your earbuds and adjust the volume continuously. By default, Continuous Volume Adjustment is turned on when you first purchase your OpenFit Air.
Please note, if you’ve customized your earbuds and set “Press-and-Hold” to perform a different function (i.e. skip tracks or open Voice Assistant), the “Continuous Volume Adjustment” button won’t appear in the Shokz App.
MultiPoint Pairing
The Multipoint Pairing capability allows you to connect two devices to your OpenFit Air and effortlessly switch between them. Using the Shokz App, you can conveniently set up and manage the two Bluetooth connections.
To start, select “Multipoint Pairing,” located above “Customize Controls.” A pop-up page will appear, asking you to confirm that you want to pair with the first device. Next, press the orange button that says “Connect to the Second Device.” This will produce a set of instructions to establish a connection with the second device.
Conclusion
With its 5 EQ modes, Continuous Volume Adjustment function, and Multipoint Pairing capability, the latest upgrades to the Shokz App are sure to improve your experience with the OpenFit Air. So download the app today and take your listening to the next level.
