Save settings

The Ambient sound volume and Focus on voice settings will be stored in the headphone memory (Existing settings will be overwritten).

Low audio latency

Reduces the delay between frequent switching on (play) and off (pause) of the sound. Useful when working in Premiere Pro or Audition. The feature can increase battery consumption because it prevents the headphones from going into standby mode.

Some Bluetooth drivers have already fixed this problem. If you do not experience a difference, disable this feature

Auto play

Send the «Play» command after connecting the headphones. If there are no open players Windows will ignore the command.

Auto pause

Pause playback after disconnecting headphones. Disconnecting headphones using MagicPods reduces the delay before pausing. (By any method: button, tray menu or hotkey)
