Headphones I got tired of the Bose app, so I built personal app for the QC Ultra 2 (Android, open source, no account)

I love my QC Ultra 2, but the Bose app drives me crazy it wont let you fine tune or make headphones louder, or control call volume. Its slow, it wants an account, and even sometimes when headphones is clearly connected it still shows unconnected.

So I made Earshot with claude fable, open-source Android app that talks to the headphones directly over Bluetooth. No account and no cloud. It doesn’t even have the internet permission. It has all the daily controls plus a 10-band EQ, call volume boost, a codec panel, a Quick Settings tile and automations. Also it has technical controls for people are tech savvy like me and like to fiddle with their gadgets ;) IYKYK. Also it should work with any QC released recently.

It’s Android only and only tested on the QC Ultra 2 on my Samsung so far. Not affiliated with Bose. Firmware updates still need the Bose app(why? DMCA blah blah). Feel free to do whatever(fork it, rework it) with the code. ill maintain it and improve it (once my claude usage resets lol)

Working on it check back on the next version(i'll probably add support to all skullcandy headphones that has similar features to 1080 and QC) should be after 0.2
