You can change the color of the light ring on them, you can control the noise cancelling modes and set an equalizer.
You can also do some fancy camera scanning of your ears that is supposedly used to personalize their sound.
Imho all pretty gimmicky and useless, or something that doesn’t require a dedicated headphone app. The only thing really useful about it is, that sometimes they have trouble connecting to my phone through the standard Bluetooth menu. The app can take care of that, though. But maybe they could have spent the time developing that app to fix this issue altogether.
I use mine to set what the touch controls do. For each ear I have one touch button, and I can set an action for touch, touch X2, touch X3, and long touch. The actions are volume up, volume down, skip forward, skip back, next track, previous track, pause, open assistant (yuck), and probably more.
It has equalizers and settings for a feature that lets you “peek” at sounds around you, max volume safety settings, and it has some white noise/sleep sounds/meditation tracks.
Luckily, I can set the touch controls and equalizer, save it to the headphones, and delete the app. I don’t need to see the battery level for each earbud and the case; I charge it once a week and I’ve never run out. Don’t care what the number is.
For my regular headphones, not much. I can use the buttons on them to cycle through sound modes (no modification, sound canceling, and external mics) as well as the normal things like switch volumes, tracks etc.
Once I got the update, I deleted the app and got an older one. If they make it mandatory somehow, I’ll just not use the app and get different brand headphones when these break.
Anker?
I noticed their soundcore app did that last time I connected to wifi and it auto-updated… Inimmediately went looking for an old apk.
Out of curiosity, what does an app for headphones do?
I’ve got one for my bluetooth headphones.

Yep. Where did you find the old apk?
I use apkmirror to get old versions of apps
