My old ones broke two days ago and I needed new ones. I chose earbuds from NOTHIHG because according to reviews they are really good for the money. Now, their app is asking me to accept this privacy policy. Maybe this policy is just some general place holder for other products because they sell phones too. And they would have browser history there. Or I could use the earbuds without the app. But the default tuning on them is very bass heavy and I need to change that.

I use DNS resolver on my phone with a lot of filters, so this shit will get blocked. I think I will bite the bullet for now but this is probably the last thing I bought from this company.

Why in the world would you need to update your headphones' firmware in the first place?

Getting rid of bugs?

I have noticed that from time to time, my Bose QC35 II may suddenly loose the clarity of the sound, a restart solves it but It is annoying, this could probably be a thing to be patched in a new firmware release.

That is absolutely wild to me that there are people out there with software bugs in their headphones. The few BT headphones I've used just connect and stream audio without much to mess up. But 95% of the time I'm rocking out with some wired cans.

Thanks for the response!
