These unofficial Sony apps let you ditch your phone to control your headphones
Tired of Sony’s Sound Connect app? These PC tools put headphone controls on your desktop.
Sony headphones and earbuds typically require the company's smartphone app for users to adjust a range of audio settings. Enter a pair of open source projects that aim to provide the same level of control through computers. These projects allow users to manage ANC, modify equalizer settings, and more. While using apps on our phones can expand features and simplify hardware, it also means we're tethered to a device, which isn't always practical.
Sony earbuds and headphones require the Sound Connect app to tweak settings like noise cancellation and equalizer options. But if you're gaming on your PC and wish to adjust some of those settings without a phone nearby, there's good news. The Sony Device Center open source project enables you to modify all those options from your computer, giving you the freedom to fine-tune your audio experience without being in constant communication with your phone.
