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

I was skeptical that these would live up to their price point. Ive been rocking the Aguilar headphone amp. Aux wire in and headphone wire out. Love the sound of it, but it gets old fighting those wires. I needed something for in my RV when we road trip. These are phenomenal! I dont use the gimmick(y) position setting. I went through and dialed in my StingRay, my Ultra 2 Jazz bass, and my D'Mark 6 string. They all sound great through these. I play along to Spotify songs, then switch over to no bass jam along on YouTube, then hit the onboard drum machine. Too easy. Super comfortable. No wires. The onboard effects are super fun and I can get each of my basses dialed in. I "wrote" each sound - so they are easy to pull up when I switch basses. There are enough drum patterns in this thing to keep you busy. Overall I am extremely glad I spent the money. They have never cut out on me and I haven't run out of battery during a sesh. I only go for about 3 hours tho. I charge after every time I use them. I sit in front of the TV with my wife while she watches a chick flick I do a fair bit of shredding. Ha!

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.

These are really remarkable. It’s really hard to convince yourself that others can’t hear what you are playing/listening to. A+! But you can’t just plug them in to charge. You also have to switch them from ON to CHARGE (or else the battery will completely die even while you have the charger plugger in). Very weird design that way. If you can deal with that, you will love them! Just buy them! :-)

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.

This item has been available for quite a number of years. I’m giving it 5 stars but I do have some cons. I don’t care - but might be a concern for some. Pros Fits nicely over the ears Sounds great Easy to configure App easy to setup Cons Expensive Buttons and switches not easily accessible Bass level not loud enough It just does on you no audible indication Audio from music on Apple becomes scratchy as if You were too far from the phone. Requires the Stop of the music and restarting. Not a real Big deal - but does make you think the battery Is dying. 5 watts is a little weak I think. My bass is tapped Out to the max and the iPhone audio balance is A bit on the weak side. With all of that - I can practice in my chair while my wife is watching TV and doesn’t hear it at all! At all! That makes it encouraging that I want to practice more. If you are okay with those little pros and cons great!!! Plus with Amazon if you don’t like it send it back - simple as that.

First impressions, I've only just got these in the mail but there are some surprising details I did not expect that makes this early review reasonable to make, Getting these in my hands, I was very surprised with just how small these are, like child size, I mean the drivers are so small, I thought these were over ear headphones, they are not, maybe for a child but not for adults even with small ears, but the clamp force isn't bad, and can be size to fit my large head fine, its the drivers themselves that are super small, at a $400 plus price tag, expectations are above average, I got these after using the Mooer Prime P1 portable headphone amp/sim, deciding to give these a try for less cables, and more simple use, and after the first practice session, I'll continue to use these for practice over the Prime P1, The sound stage is honestly really good, sound quality for these tiny drivers is some what impressive, they were easy to setup, I was practicing with in 10 minutes of charging them, could of right out of the box, I can see these being really useful. That said . . . All though I can wear these and use them as they are intended, for the price, these don't look or feel like $400+ more like walmart bargain bin, with cheap finger magnet chrome, feeling like these will break with in a year or less, the construction just feels cheap, The sliding rails for the speakers are unmarked, with no indicator for where they are at on the slider, so there really isn't any way to know if your evenly spaced, The app, it does the job, and has a good selection of sims, sounds really good, though the app's graphics leaves one wanting, going for function above all else, which is fine. Only one charging cable, and if reviewers are correct, you can only charge these by their micro usb charging ports, the headphones has a 1/4 jack, but that's just for paring as far as I know, for the price, I expected two charging cables, The wireless dongle sticks pretty far out, and bumping it will cause crackling so I'd strongly suggest buying a less then 1 foot extension cable, oddly not a common cable, but one I would suggest finding regardless, honestly such a cable should of been included too at this price point, So is it worth the price, no, but you don't have very many options for now, and I'm sure that's why the price is that high, which would I suggest getting, These or the Mooer Prime P1, well if you already have a decent pair of headphones and you don't mind wearing them while you play, and if $400 is a lot to spend on a hobby your just getting into, then yeah the Prime P1, if its not a lot of money, and don't want to deal with any cables at all, then the Waza-Air is for you, personally I for see using the Waza tell it inevitably breaks after a year then switch back to the Prime P1.
