Boss WAZA-AIR Guitar

this is one of the few products that you can not rate based on YouTube reviews. You really have to have it on your ears - and be thrilled, because the surround sound is so much more awesome than what you usually have on the headphones. Clear buy recommendation, also for those who do not want to give the guitar out of the hand on the way from the sofa to the fridge. No cable clutter, 0 latency, authentic sounds. Great!

My son plays virtuoso guitar and has wished for these headphones. A quite fancy and also not quite cheap product, but very useful for creative musicians.

The headphones are as advertised in many videos the absolute hammer, the Bluetooth connection is stable and there are no audible delays. Also the processing of the headphones and the transmitter are very good. It will take a bit until I have tested all the sound options of the headphones because the app is really extensive.
Conclusion: A really good product even if the price could be a little cheaper ;)

After a Corona indebted long wait , Kirstein delivered over 2 weeks before the stated delivery time . Thank you Musikhaus Kirstein also for the competent customer service!

With kind regards

I was a bit skeptical after seeing the first video reviews of the Waza-Air. Especially the gyroscope feature I was not sure if it was a convincing argument for me. But the sound should be very good and I was looking for a suitable Bluetooth headphone. Because the Waza-Air also works without a separate amp I gave it a chance.

The set arrived well packaged, overall the package was lighter than expected. Included is a short USB cable which can be used to charge the transmitter and headphones separately. Here it could have been quiet also two slightly longer cables. A socket adapter is not included, however, should be nowadays in every household at least one such adapter, so no problem for me. The app is a bit clunky for my liking, but does reliably what it should (IOS 13.4.1). The built-in effects provide many options and invite you to try. The earpads are mounted magnetically and therefore easy to change as soon as suitable replacements are available.

The headphones sound great. The sound is full, noise cancelling works. What I like best is the ability to play with a backing track or song. The promised middle of the road feeling is delivered to my complete satisfaction. By acoustically splitting the signal and placing the various sources "in the room", you're not just playing flat over the top of the band, you're playing with the band. This not only sounds better but also makes a good mood.

I remain less enthusiastic about the built-in gyro, which has all the little problems that one hears and reads about (especially head tracking unclean, if you lower your head more often). But it's a nice gimmick when you play standing up. In quiet phases without game and Backingtrack sometimes noise artifacts occur with me (crackling), whose cause I could not yet clarify (signal interference perhaps?). This can be ignored and does not occur during the game, but is still a bit annoying in the long run. For the price, Boss should still put some fine tuning. Especially the app still needs a few updates until maturity.

Despite these points, I like the headphones very much because they expand my mobility and flexibility infinitely. Whether you spontaneously feel like a practice session at midnight, whether you want to hit the strings for a few minutes regardless of losses even though the family is asleep or whether you have to travel and don't want to do without the guitar. Take the headphones with you, unpack them, switch them on, put the transmitter in and start playing. Everything is possible.
