I don't actually know how many devices the Aria Me can pair to, but it's a lot. I have several phones and laptops around, even the occasional desktop, and I've paired pretty much everything at some time or another. So, now every time I turn on the headphones, I get a litany of "welcome to Avantree. Connected, connected, connected, connected" messages.
I know I could change a setting that would turn those spoken words into beeps, but A) they're useful, and B) doing that would turn everything into beeps, and some of those beeps I don't hear often enough to recognize, so I really need them to remain as words.
Furthermore, one of those devices, and I can't figure out which one, likes to randomly connect and disconnect throughout the day (possibly for power-saving reasons?), which means my music (coming from another device) gets interrupted with random "disconnected, connected" announcements. I need to figure out which device that is, and unpair it.
One solution is to factory-reset the headphones which would clear all the pairings and just start over, but I think that would also blow away my hearing-specific EQ settings, which are sort of tedious to redo.
I would love another option: If the headphones had a big UI screen, they could simply show me their pairings and I could see which ones are active and connected at any given moment, and I could selectively unpair them. But wait! I already have a device with a big UI screen, and it knows how to talk to my headphones, and it's already running the Avantree app! And the app lets me create and manage audio profiles which are then saved into the headphones.
So, would it be possible for the app to list and manipulate the pairings stored in the headphones?
(This could also enable other advanced UI modalities that aren't practical to do with button-mashing on the earcups. Like turning only certain spoken announcements into beeps ("Mute On" and "Mute Off", for instance, which are ultra slow and take me away from my conference call for long enough to miss big chunks of conversation) while leaving the less-used ones as spoken. Or indicating which audio codec is being used by any given active connection, for compatibility troubleshooting. Or making two headphones pair to each other walkie-talkie style -- motorcycle headsets do this as an intercom function and it'd be lovely if my everyday cans could do it -- being able to talk to someone on the other side of a wall without yelling is a total boon to electricians and installers of all sorts, for instance. Or indicate the headphones' battery level so I can plan to recharge them before the low-battery alarm comes on. I'm not gonna open feature-request threads for all those things, don't worry!)
