IMO, Boss blew it on the documentation. If it helps anyone: there's a slow blink and a fast blink to the bluetooth LED on the phones. The slow blink makes it try to pair MIDI, the fast blink makes it try to pair AUDIO. To get to the audio, hold the bluetooth button in until the slow blink turns faster. Now it will try to pair for audio (not midi).
Thank you for that info, I just spent 2 hours trying to pair AUDIO, with your advice it worked immediately, I can not believe that they did not put that in the manual. Thanks a lot.
I’m trying to pair to audio and when I hold my Bluetooth button up to the Plus sign it doesn’t even blink for me. The light just stays Blue. Anyone able to help?
Thank you Alex. As someone who is admittedly a bit of a Luddite, I really appreciate your presentation. Your style was concise, linear, and easily digestible even for a technophobe such as myself.
Hey Alex, excellent video. Just got my waza today and thanks to you have quickly learned to use them. Amazing sound from them, well worth the price. They blow fenders micro out of the water. You did a great job on the video. I've seen so many guitarists videos made by people who can't even finish a sentence without 2 "ummm" pauses in the sentence. You are articulate and straight to the point. I appreciate that so much. Keep up the good work and thank you so much.
Thank you Alex. These headphones are superb. I LOVE the sound of them and the effect. You really think you are in a room. The video helped me see the difference between MiDi and Audio for connecting to backing tracks and the app. Beautiful playing man as well. Thanks Boss for making these. They will make me a better player and the sounds are inspiring. Great job.
Hi Mate did you have any trouble connecting the phones to the mobile app? on your phone I heard you need a Gyro on the mobile to control the amp location?.. thanks.
Great gear! But It would be nice to have the next features: - Posibility to play wile charging - Posibility to connect an expression pedal and looper - Better distorsion tones or better tones in the boss tone central
Great video thank you. I just got my unit and was surprised how bad the supplied instructions are. Not a mention of the app and without your video I would have been scratching my head to work out the difference between pairing the app and pairing to stream music. Still, the headphones are pretty great but really should be shipped with simple instructions like yours. Thank you
I got mine just last month and am totally pleased except: Gyro looses its place quite often, therefore I run mainly in surround mode. Also great but for 400 bucks should work without a hitch. Boss also should have included a double cable for charging both units at the same time. I mean really, who want to take the time to charge separately. And 5 hours without a charge is not realistic from my experience. 3 hours max.
Alex Hutchings you are the "BOSS". I seriously think you should collaborate with Boss and make the Alex Hutchings signiture pedal tha "AH1". As I said before I would get the first one if I could. Knowing you, it would be a killer of a pedal with loads of gimzos on it. That would be Boss....Peace Brother. Take care and be safe...
Mama i Love Boss Effects . To me Boss is the Best Effects by far. And Alex Hutchings 1 of my Top 15 Favorite Guitarists of all Time. Very cool guy and an Outstanding worldclass Guitarist.
I have found the Waza-Air to be the best practice tool I have ever owned. I would love a Waza-Air looper pedal, that can be controlled by footswitches. Kind of like the Boomerang III. Oh, I also need an improved headphone design (lighter and more stealthy) with noise cancellation. Something like the Sony XM4s. I would like to block out as much ambient noise as possible to get into the zone.
Does anybody know how I can play with a backing track transferred to the headphones too from an iPhone or iPad? In other words I want to practice with my headphones on and backing tracks from RUclips also in my headphones.
We paid a lot of money for this, and the app is absolutely awful, it disconnects constantly, do you guys even read your reviews? Fix the app for god sake -_-
Well done, Alex. However I wonder if you could comment about its latency (or lack of). Bluetooth headphones I tried with guitar in the past were unusable. They were so annoying as the sound from the headphones was perceptably later than when I actually played the notes. For me, this is a deal-breaker, whatever the price. So what do you say, is there a noticeable sound delay or not?
My question is will the quality of the guitar effect the quality of the guitar sound through these headphones or do all guitars sound exactly the same through this?
Had mine for about a week now. They are certainly not as responsive as large speakered amp with headroom but they are pretty incredible for headphones. My tele absolutely retains all the tele spank through them, my 335 are warmer and darker through them. I really can’t recommend these enough.
These are definitely for me ,I am a beginner and I play on headphones so only I can hear my “noise”. My problem is the cord is annoying and the sound is not as good as just the amp out loud. Couple that with the cord to the guitar and it’s a pit ! These are like someone saw my pain and made me a product ,just need to save some coin and I’ll sign up for sure. 🤙🎸🇦🇺
I feel your pain. I was using regular headphones with my amps and both the cord and the crappy sound were constant issues. This product fixes those things for me.
If I have the headphones a few feet away from my head, can I hear the sound if it's on full volume? I do this at home with my BOSS GT-1 effects unit, as it's quieter than using my amp, so doesn't annoy the neighbours.
Bought this yesterday and very happy with the experience in terms of sounds and features. Not very happy with the built quality. it feels not so robust. Boss should have done a better job with a material given that this is very expensive.
Plug your guitar to the wah pedal input (either with a cable or with another wireless transmitter like the WI20), plug the waza air transmitter to the wah output and you should be good to go.
Great video, I’ve got this device and trying to figure it out. Sorry but I wish you had toned down on the guitar playing, it’s distracting and too loud.
Ok connecting to phone? When I click on Bluetooth MIDI device My Note10 plus When you say select Waza Air MIDI at 5min 17sec? When I do that on my side, there are no devices showing up at all with Waza Air Midi? pair from the app? please help
Hi guys I have a volume problem when I want to play a backing track using the Bluetooth connection. The volume of my guitar is way too high compared to the backing track's volume. I am forced to low down the volume of the guitar drastically just to hear the track. Understand me well, I don't talk about the volume button of my guitar. I don't know if the culprit is my phone or the Waza-air... Have you got this problem too? If yes, can you help me. Thanks a lot. Pascal from France.
Really, the has degraded in the last year. It is not trustworthy as an android app or iOS. In g Fact, the android app no longer works at all.iPhone works on midi but NOT audio? iPad works on audio but not midi.
He could have the actual connected headphones on the binaural mic while he plays through the transmitter. If true, the headphones on his head are just there to show user how to use. Only other choice would be how other reviewers are showing it: player plays guitar while headphones sit on microphone head somewhere else. Comments on those videos show that folks didn’t like that either.
Can you explain how I can use my Boss WAZA with the Boss Pocket GT? I am not finding a way and it will be very stupid not to be able to use the two together.
Apart from music, can I still use these to Bluetooth to my iPad and phone to listen and watch things like RUclips, films etc? Also I don’t have good hearing out of my left ear, would the surround sound help with that? I’ve tried some headphones that gave the the impression I had perfect hearing.
How long do the batteries last? I don't mean each charge, I mean can they be renewed in a few years if they don't hold their charge. These aren't cheap so I would want many years of use out of them.
You can do it, for example you can stream the backing track from ultimate-guitar.com to the headphones where it's mixed with the guitar sound that you set up in the boss app. The headphones can be used as any other bluetooth headphones.
This is how reviews should be done! No waffle or long introductions. Just clear facts clearly presented. Thanks Alex. Well done

@@christianconway8787 you’ve probably sorted it by now but you press the button in not up
A looper in the app and the possibility to record signal on the phone would be great
next headphone...
can this be done through an app update perhaps?
totally agree. Hopefully they can upgrade the app with that feature.
Thank you Alex. As someone who is admittedly a bit of a Luddite, I really appreciate your presentation. Your style was concise, linear, and easily digestible even for a technophobe such as myself.

I wish this video had been out 3 months ago when I got mine, just figured out how to connect the headphones for playing music. Thank you 👍🏻
euan shaw there is a WAZA-AIR Owners Club on facebook. Good spot for tips and assistance from other WAZA folk.
How did you do it?
Thank you Alex. These headphones are superb. I LOVE the sound of them and the effect. You really think you are in a room.

You said it perfectly, my thoughts exactly. I was scratching my head wondering about the app mentioned in reviews, I was lost!
Just bought a waza, they look beautiful. Well see how they work, wish me luck
Nice tutorial, one of the points I did not get is how to create a complete new patches settings and also how to select different patches settings.
At last the video I needed! The paper instructions don't tell me much. Boss, please point users to where they can find this!!
I got mine just last month and am totally pleased except:
Gyro looses its place quite often, therefore I run mainly in surround mode. Also great but for 400 bucks should work without a hitch.

Clear, clean, and to the point. Thank you.
This is a handy Vid. I couldn’t make heads or tails of the manual. Anyway haven’t figured all these patches out yet but man these things are fun!!!!!!

They seem crazy futuristic. Way too high tech for this old cat. Shoot man, I just mastered the ball point pen !! Advancement is leaving my ass behind.
Your holding yourself back. Invest a little time.
Hahaha, I'm hearing my own voice reading this! Love it!
Got one today absolutely great piece of kit
great video, so well organized and informative. thank you!!!

Veramente ben fatto, molto utile. Grazie 👍
Great tool, and great explanation. Thank you
C'est très complet merci ! Et j'adore votre jeu de guitare !!
I use it with my helix and just set everything to flat/bass and cut the bass on the equalizer (way too boomy) and it sounds great.
It would be great for the WAZA air app to work on the computer as well.
thank you very much very clear and useful
Very well done indeed!
amazing product
Does anybody know how I can play with a backing track transferred to the headphones too from an iPhone or iPad? In other words I want to practice with my headphones on and backing tracks from RUclips also in my headphones.
please make a PC app, I hate using the phone.
That’s a kick ass place to live
We paid a lot of money for this, and the app is absolutely awful, it disconnects constantly, do you guys even read your reviews? Fix the app for god sake -_-
Explainer... how about explain where they've been at, mines been on back order since January! Lol
I love this headphones cant live wothout them anymore
Well done, Alex. However I wonder if you could comment about its latency (or lack of). Bluetooth headphones I tried with guitar in the past were unusable.

I like the unit but man does the app suck. It is so bad I just give up sometimes.
Agreed. The app is so unbelievably bad.
Thanks - very clear video. I finally managed to play along to a backing track!! The instructions aren't that good.
My question is will the quality of the guitar effect the quality of the guitar sound through these headphones or do all guitars sound exactly the same through this?

Very helpful cheers
Hi Alex great instructional video thank you, do i need a Gyro on my mobile to control the amp location?
Any idea where I can purchase replacement ear cushions? My dog ate one of mine.
I just want to know if it can be plugged into the amp and just plug in and play
Any firmware update planned to fix the audio drift? 👍🇦🇺
Boss the best of the world 😎
These are definitely for me ,I am a beginner and I play on headphones so only I can hear my “noise”.

What's this bs these don't have a cord that goes to the guitar but a wireless trasmitter.
I feel your pain. I was using regular headphones with my amps and both the cord and the crappy sound were constant issues. This product fixes those things for me.
Phil Collins is a great guitar player, too
recently bought new headphone for my guitar, and you just came out -_-
Dont worry they seem to be back ordered to all hell. I ordered mine in January and still haven't gotten them
If I have the headphones a few feet away from my head, can I hear the sound if it's on full volume? I do this at home with my BOSS GT-1 effects unit, as it's quieter than using my amp, so doesn't annoy the neighbours.
When it gets to the effects section most of them don't work. Can't light the boxes up
Why can’t I turn on chorus and other effects or add pedals to the chain
Bought this yesterday and very happy with the experience in terms of sounds and features. Not very happy with the built quality. it feels not so robust. Boss should have done a better job with a material given that this is very expensive.
Great Demo. But how are things with high gain sounds? They usually sound shitty on headphones. Any experiences?
The headphones are awesome! However the app is steaming pile of *"#.
Hope they update it with more usability and more tones in the The Central.
A record function would be awesome
The app for this simply doesn't work for me. I don't get a page that says bluetooth connection.
Just a page that has the logo for Boss Tone Studio
Q: What if I want to use a wah wah pedal?
Plug your guitar to the wah pedal input (either with a cable or with another wireless transmitter like the WI20), plug the waza air transmitter to the wah output and you should be good to go.
Great video, I’ve got this device and trying to figure it out. Sorry but I wish you had toned down on the guitar playing, it’s distracting and too loud.
Unfortunately, my phone can't recognize the wazza studio app. It simply does not work.

How are you recording the guitar audio in this video?
Yep, I commented on that as well, it's not a feature apparently
Why is there no Rhythm guide in the Guitar version of the app ?
Why couldn’t a unit be put into a Katana that would allow someone to have both an amp and a headphone amp instead of either or?
Can't get mine to connect to Bluetooth. Blue light never comes on.

Any suggestions for a practice Amp that could allow plugging in two guitars for silent practice?
It has been a long time since this equipment was launched, and it is still not available in Brazil, I would like to know why.

1 QUESTION - how did you get a recording from the headphones for this video?
Maybe a split signal? Like one going into a di and the other into the waza airs?
Or maybe hes pretending to use them
Exactly, the sound we are hearing is not from the headphones, so the tones or not representative
He could have the actual connected headphones on the binaural mic while he plays through the transmitter. If true, the headphones on his head are just there to show user how to use.

is it compatible with boss gt1000? I dont want any coloring from headphones so I can hear my gt1000 tones
Hi guys, do you know if it's possible to split the channels, for example the playback music to go on left headphone and my guitar to the right one?
How about making them available in stores? I’ve been waiting since March to purchase one but they aren’t available anywhere.
Can you explain how I can use my Boss WAZA with the Boss Pocket GT? I am not finding a way and it will be very stupid not to be able to use the two together.
can these be used wired directly into a katana amp?
How can i activate both effects booster and mod or delay and fx
Anyone Problems with the firmware updates? I cannot install them because the headphones are not recognized by any Laptop.:(
how to record digital? i want to make youtube guitar cover
Apart from music, can I still use these to Bluetooth to my iPad and phone to listen and watch things like RUclips, films etc?
Also I don’t have good hearing out of my left ear, would the surround sound help with that? I’ve tried some headphones that gave the the impression I had perfect hearing.
Yes, a balance knob.
Hi, is it possible to load new effects (patches) to the app? 🤔
Where can I get patches from the internet?
Sold
Great video. Anyone know roughly how much battery life the transmitter gets?
The transmitter is supposed to provide abut 12 hours of play time. The headphones provide about 5 hours. (Continuous play time.)
anyone knows how do you get more live sets then the ones included in the app?
WAZA-Air AUDIO will not show up at all on my phone
I wanna plug that receiver in the out of a fuzz!
How do you load a backing track into the Waza Air App?
You don't, you pair it to another device to play along to backing tracks etc
@@markthain9659 can you play a backing track or a normal song in youtube and play along with it? And do that on the phone and on pc?
Can I just plug it in my amp output for headphones?
yes why not?
They're wireless so I don't think so
No you can’t
Yes, but I find the connection "goes to sleep" after about 5 minutes, unplug and plug back in to continue
How long do the batteries last? I don't mean each charge, I mean can they be renewed in a few years if they don't hold their charge. These aren't cheap so I would want many years of use out of them.
Hey,
Is it possible to choose a song and play along with it? Or choose a back in track?
Hey, did you not watch the video?
Can I sing with it or just guitar?
Can these be used for calls on your phone, or gaming? They are so expensive I'm hoping I can do everything with them
the price comes from the unadvertised potential. a pair of binaural earmics, a good pedalboard, and boom - youve got a soundproof studio on your head.
Even if they could, battery life is too short…. It’s short for just using for its advertised purpose.
Can someone explain how we are hearing the sound if he's wearing the headphones 😁
Lol, probably the same way all the other reviews are doing it… using those bio mics shaped like a head with ears.
Does anyone know if I can stream bluetooth audio from my laptop to these headphones while I use the boss app on my phone for the guitar sound? thanks
You can do it, for example you can stream the backing track from ultimate-guitar.com to the headphones where it's mixed with the guitar sound that you set up in the boss app. The headphones can be used as any other bluetooth headphones.
