![Boss Waza Air Headphones - Would I Buy Them Again? [Yes, I think so!]](/img/n.gif)
We would like to thank you all for such an incredible response to this video!
We are glad you like the NEW BOSS Headphones as much as we do, our brilliant team has put together a bit more information on this through the Andertons Blogs page.
Let us know what you think, and if these are making it on your Christmas list ;)

These look amazing a good metal pedal with them and I'm sold
That demo sounded amazing through my Sennheiser cans!
Awesome. Does this mean you can now get iOS boss tone studio for katana amps?? Or is it just for the “air” katana products and the GT?
Definitely a Christmas gift to myself for being such a good bad as guitarist! Lol!
I want one !
Reverb Settings:
- Room
- Hall
- Shitty Pub with two people
Replicates all the gigs I do

With realistic simulated boos and fruit machine sounds!
And getting interrupted half way through a song for the Tombola
Me and a mate once watched a band in a pub and we were the only ones there... The guitar player was sat on the front door step and the base player was leant against the bar. The singer was stood on the seats looking out of the window.They were actually pretty good and it was a good night.. But yeah, it actually does happen.
In Los Angeles it's a Thursday night with two drunk bikers that want anything but what you're playing and you had to pay the club for the gig.
alright, one of the coolest demos for a product I've seen.
Not heard... but seen.
I wanted to like this comment but... the count is at 420. I can't mess THAT up! :D
Imagine this with a VR system.. Gonna be playin at Wembley tonight.. Tomorrow, let's go to LA collesium ohhhhhh the possibilities.. And imagine being able to pair this with a different one so you and say your bassist friend can share the stage together.
Reşat Yıldırım Yeah if they hooked this up with virtual reality so you could be on stage with (fill in the blank). That would be amazing
Making it so you can jam with friends would be the best thing ever! Boss, listen to this man! I'd immediately buy a pair.
Give them a few years. The tech exists...they just need to put it all together. As popular as Guitar Hero has been, what you’re proposing would quite possibly cause a rip in spacetime due to the overwhelming amount of awesome.
I think a lot of people would buy tix to VR live-streams...
How would you see your guitar if you're wearing a VR headset though? They would have to incorporate a live camera to mix into the feed somehow, which would be tough to get to feel as natural as looking down at your guitar.
For bass players this must be an amazing experience, for the first time having the band behind you while playing...
Lol
Savage
This man is spitting some truth here
That's why the bass version is more expensive !
Fookin right.
Can't believe it, they invented another product I didn't even know that I was missing in my life
Here's my money,, plz take it now.
Well thats called consumerism. Do you need one? No. Do you want one? Yes. I have to admit, they look like something I want to try in shop, but they are kinda expensive.
Seems like u can play along with songs and record on phone which makes it easier to upload to UA-cam , so much easier then with all this computer programming
The binaural effect actually worked really well. Excellent idea - Boss must be delighted with how you showed this off. WOW
We're stoked at how it came across - hope it helps people to get a feel for how they work!
@@andertons Seriously genius idea. Any chance we could get a binaural demo with 3DO standing still, with and without a backing track?
@@andertons Definitely worth taking the time to do such demos as they're not cheap.
You can bet Boss saw a HUGE bump in headphone sales! They should give a pair to all three demo musicians. Best PR they didn't pay for!!
@@andertons so will this be a new thing for future videos?
you guys 100% need to adopt those binaural ears into the rest of the your gear testing videos.
When you think that there's no place that brands can go with amp ideas, Boss did it. What a BRAND, my friends!
That is why they are the "BOSS"!!
Truly, Boss is knocking it out of the park these days. They've always made solid products but their most recent innovations are just killer.
I listened to 11:25 with headphones on and it sounded pretty magical.
A mind-blowing experience! Wait until you play guitar with the headphones on, complete game-changer...
Yeah, totally agree.
i loved that sorround sound. That would be a amazing thing to have for normal music.
Holy fluff balls 😳😳 just re listened with a set of Dre Beats and was epic ! Def buying a set, they are awesome !!!
@@annoyedneighbour8425 get rid of the Beats and get a real headphone for the same price.
This was one of those reviews where you go, “well this is a bit weird or unrealistic..” and Boss goes, “We have a setting for that 😏”
"Are they wife-cancelling?"
-The Captain, 2019
Hahahahah
Yes I am sure, but when someone from the back of the bar hits you with a well aimed bottle - she's got your attention again !!!
It’s called divorce..
Alaric Tin - bloody expensive headphones then?
@@sjlacey65 , I think I heard them say 459Euro msrp.
Not a guitarist? You can still enjoy this amazing bit of kit. Try this!
Choose STATIC setting and crank up the AMBIENCE.
Select your favourite album via Bluetooth.
Pour beer and cigarette ash on the carpet.
Hit play, close your eyes and take a deep breath:
Feel the thrill of listening to an amazing band, live, in the most unsuitable venue imaginable, under the crushing weight of the compounded loneliness.
Qemetiel poetry
That was really cool. And the binural mic thing worked, too. Even with my very crappy earbuds.
Nice to know - thanks!
I was so skeptical of this review (and many others) - I finally decided to buy them only to find out they were sold out everywhere. I wound up buying them on eBay at a $100 over list. I am so happy I did - these are game-changers for me. To be able to leave the plug into my guitar all day, then pick it up, pop on the headphones and switch between 6 katana presets I recreated from my amp is amazing. Phone will reconnect too without issue for me (iPhone 7). I walk out to the patio with my phone, guitar and headphones on (NO CORDS) and jam. The convenience is amazing. Battery life is great and surround sound amazing. LOVE THEM. Get them if you can afford them
Love the way Matt changes the subject when Chappers points out despite all the work that clearly went into these, they forgot an elevation control....
Pin stuff like this to the top.
😂
Yeah, but to be fair, gyro/accelerometers are probably 25c worth of components. Sensing "height" is a whole other ballgame.
Matthew Harmon not really, you use a teensy barometer, one that’s sensitive enough to be used for a few feet in change is about the same price as a gyro. Could cause some unintended weirdness if someone opens a door though.
it's the same with VR device.. rotational (roll, pitch, yaw) is easy to track, position... especially an accurate one not so much,
We truly live in a golden age of gear. For the longest I was looking for a product like this because I hate practicing at a loud volume because I’m so self conscious on how bad I sound sometimes but this solves this problem and then some I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair.
How did I not know that I always wanted these until a few minutes ago?
None of us did... BOSS has surprised us all! ;)
The surprise is the huge price tag.
@@chasebeavers How is £400 a huge price tag? Have you ever bought a set of good studio monitors?
@@PJBonoVox This is more of a broke guitarist or bedroom guitarist toy than a studio tool so huge is relative. The real question is how long will they last? Are they designed to be thrown away when the battery dies? Will they be affordably repairable? Because my main listening speakers are speakers that were used as studio monitors in many studios in the 70's and 80's. Now almost 50 years later they are still incredible speakers and if I ever need to they can be repaired. How many years of use can one expect from these headphones? Because if the answer to that is less than 5 years then yes this is a huge price for the typical bedroom/broke guitarist. If the answer is they are designed to last and the batteries can be replaced then the price is high but also understandable.
wow that demo blew my mind. awesome job of capturing the ambience and head-moving-thingy. just brilliant
Ordered for my upcoming 60th B-day, cuz of this video. Thanks for being fans of gear as much as the rest of us!
Congratulations and a Happy Birthday! We hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
Amazing review, guys. I bought my pair right away when the video first posted and just had them delivered. Now I’m having the very meta experience of watching the review again, but with these headphones on. It’s incredible. Keep up the great work. Big fan over in Vancouver Canada. Cheers.
Pete sounds smooth, even unplugged. These are game changers for sure. Thanks Andertons for free flowing videos like these
Definitely! Especially vendor demos usually feel really wooden.
The VR thing was like the firs thing I thought of. Play a stadium with your favourite band. Someone make this happen
Duuuuuude yeeees!!! Can u imagine!! Yes
You're guys reactions are so awesome. It was such amazement and glee to realize this is something you never realized you needed.
Never apologize for long videos, Lee!
That was a great one just like it is.
And now I want those damn headphones.
Thanks, guys.
I've never ordered something so quickly after a review. Can't wait to get this!
BEST EPISODE YET! All of their reactions were fantastic, yeah I’m getting a pair. Thank guys for the entertainment.
I've been looking for literally this exact thing for a long time now, so happy it finally exists!
i wish they had bluetooth connection pairing so 2 guitarists can feed each other at the same time and jam together.
for now its the easiest way for solo practice the electric guitar...i hope this thing expands to more
Funny editing with the effects lads. The Captain and Chappers are gold
This is amazing. It's fantastic that you can also use it connected to the pedal board!!! This is a great demo for what seems to be a revolutionary product! I MUST HAVE IT !!!!
Very nice video guys!
The Moment the sound moves around was just....wow!
I’m not sure which was more surprising- the headphones or Chappers’ smooth, jazzy stylings! I thought it was the backing track until the camera switched and I saw his hands moving.
Ian Nicholls same here.
yep!
This is a game changer, well done boss holy cow!
lol is just a pair of headphones...chill out
@@lyrasimo lol no. It's not. It's amazing.
what???... "just a pair of headphones" ??? you don't understand !!!
This is one of the greatest UA-cam channels for guitar lovers. This review and the product were a great way to start Sunday morning. Thank you Andertons family.
That test blew my mind!! Sounded amazing and my ears went mental with it moving around me. Love the concept
You guys forgot to demo the tuner. I’ve just downloaded the owners manual and there is also a tuner on the Headphones! That’s amazing!! Awesome video!
I can't think of a time when Cap and Chap were more impressed with a product. Well done Boss.
You guys are brightest pearls of internet !!! Massivly beautiful sense of humor ! Great product and YOU wonderful people !!! Love You and thank you for this !!!
EASILY the coolest review I've ever seen! BIG thumbs up, shoutout, and cheers for bringing us into the thick of this, guys!
Now i want a pedal that makes it sound like Lee is carrying my Amp around the room
I would buy that lol
holy....shit. when you put the headphones on the binaural mics I legitimately got chills.
Ooo wow... This is the best demo video i've ever seen and heard this year! I definitely gonna safe up and buy one!!!
Literally a perfect demo of this groundbreaking new product! Thank you.
You should use the 3dio all the time. It get us into the room with you.
We’ve ordered one. Just need a wig & a fake nose for it.
Put a wig on it and change its face every episode 😂
100% agree..👍🇦🇺
@@andertons Did Chappers keep his dreads?
@@andertons dress it up like John Mayer
Amazing....listening through studio monitor headphones and that sounded incredible.
Tim Stevens same! Problem is they cost a lot more than my ATH M50Xs too!!!
had this through my ath m40x's sounded amazing, is a bit pricey though.
Binaural demo was fantastic on my mid-grade speakers and subwoofer. Really impressive tech excellently presented.
Amazing! I'm glad the demo worked out so well! I need these like....yesterday
They also need to have actual ambiance packages for each stage in the world, so if you wanted to feel like you are playing in Wembley, you could dial up the Wembley surround plug in.
These are SO awesome! I need to get a pair for sure!
Still havent got them
When Lee started moving that 3DO it blew my mind, this is some craaaazy tech!
The binaural demo gave me goosebumps. Incredible tech.
Neighbours will start loving us, guitar players, again! 🤣
Guitarists rejoice - no longer will we be snubbed!
jahsus23 - there are many more reasons than guitar.
This is mad. I need one immediately. Finally I can go at the supermarket and play my guitar!
Wow!! Good idea! 🤩
Wow so smooth,and relaxing in the best way possible,thanks guys!!!!
One of your best videos! Sounded amazing with headphones. Boss will be delighted 😁
This is amazing!!!! I’m going to get one eventually
Think it's going to be on a lot of guitar players Christmas lists... ;)
@@andertons It's on mine, that's for sure.
@@MattyK-USA lol, yeah, if only I had someone to give the list too!
Holy biip. Have been waiting for a product like that for years :-)
I've been trying unsuccessfully to rig something like this for years. Looks like Boss finally got me.
Watching this video really brought a smile to my face. It's like watching those vids of folks trying VR for the first time; their minds are BLOWN! I really wanna get these things.
10 minutes in and I already know I'm buying these!
… purchased!
Wow, Boss are killing it. Talk about a golden era for guitar players.
We're a lucky bunch, right?
What a great demo of some game changing technology. BOSS are just on it right now...the fact all the processing is in the hardware. Brilliant.
Game changer product and game changer product demonstration! This is why Andertons wins all those awards - innovation and likeable! Top vid guys!
If I were to play with someone else with the headset, could we pair the headphones and have a sort of "guitar LAN party"?
Oooooohhhh! Or like, imagine if Garage Band was Real Garage Band and you could place the instruments in the physical space where you are. Apple’s already gotten really good with room analysis with the HomePod.
No, not with the current design. BlueTooth is a point to point connection. It's built into the protocol spec.
One device (these headphones) can only ever connect with one other BT device (the guitar transmitter) at any given moment.
Boss could theoretically have a 2nd bluetooth interface in the headphones to independently do headphone to headphone pairing and then they'd need additional circuitry in the headphones to blend the audio signals coming out of each of those independent BT circuits.
They could also theoretically have the headphones pair with two different transmitters.. but the transmitters would also need to have two independent bluetooth circuits in them.
Probably not worth the extra cost and extra complexity for an edge-use-case. They're marketing this as a personal practice 'amp'.
Well imagine playing with your mate who is at his home and you can hear him next to you!
@@ffakr Actually the newer bluetooth 5.1 can connect to multiple devices. So in theory this could actually work if they've used 5.1 and not the older versions.
@@ffakr Easiest way would be an additional device, like a hub, that everyone jamming connects to.
Love Pete's loud mad granddad headphone voice
Top notch Boss, great product! This demo was incredible as well!!
Finally 8 months after seeing this they come in stock and I bought them and they are absolutely bloody brilliant.
Take my money Boss you've made another great product
Who needs a Leslie? You can just buy this and spin around in circles while you play! Lol
So cool to see everyone's genuine reaction of shock and disbelief, BOSS have obviously knocked it out of the park again.
Immediately bought these before the demo ended. Thank guys!!
They did a great job with this.
Several old technology's used in a new fresh way.
I hope they patented it otherwise you will have one of the Guitar Amp App creators doing a low end version using Google Glass etc..
so what? it's a great idea, so I'd love to see some competition and different implementations. there's room for variation, and the cost could be brought down.
@Mark Wilko _technologies_ , even
best video of 2019 by miles !
These seem truly incredible and will be on my birthday list for 2021!
What a demo - unbelievable it really comes across what this thing can do. Just a mindblower. Makes me want it, grrr.
Boss hit a homerun. This is a very relevant device for a full personal guitar experience. The price is justified for the features but wish it were a tad less.
I was stoned while watching this. I laughed my ass off! This was great.
Brilliant demo. Really gives an idea how it will sound!! Thanks guys! 👍👍👍👍👍😎
Good one guys, you found a good format to make it exciting - looking forward to trying this myself!
Captain; Well these are just meh and sh*t
Boss man; they’re turned off mate
Captain; 😐
They headphones were on. The surround ,static, stage was off.
Unless Lee planned for that exact thing, that's a good sign of honesty too: He thought the system was on, and didn't hesitate to say that it wasn't impressive. =)
You know Lee's playing has really improved. I think this was the best I have heard him. =)
@@jubuttib That was my thought. This dude isn't blowing smoke up our collective a$$. If it's schite he let's you know right away.
Boss: And we will design them for people sitting in chairs, practicing!
RND: Spinny chairs?
Boss: Yeah, dude. Fuckin spinny chairs!!
*8 months later*
Rob: But, if I want to stand up...
Boss: 😐
Great demo.
Thanks a lot.
Just one question does pop up for me: how's latency?
Thanks for the comment, Glad you enjoyed the video!
BOSS has developed an ultra Low latency with these headphones, using the same technology as their WL-20 wireless system it should be perfect for playing guitar through!
Dear @@andertons
Thanks a lot for your prompt clarification.
That's very good news for those of us practicing late night.
What a great demo. Completely sold them. I had been wondering about using them with a pedal board and even that was answered.
This is the BEST practice device I have ever seen. Hands down no contest. Amazing work boss.
I'd like a cheaper version of this, without the katana modeling and effect, that I can send whatever analog, multieffect, modeling rig I got and just use the ambience part.
And it absolutely need a stereo line/phones out so you can record what you are playing (in the ambience you created) or send it to a mixer, an hi-fi, a portable speaker
Surely BOSS would have tried this plugged into a pedalboard.
Yea, I think the more interesting "hack" would be routing the audio through a physical amp, or even VST plugins.
I wanted it plugged into the headphone jack of audio interface
Great video. I ordered a pair as soon as the video ended. How cool.
I'm so excited to try these!!! Best review video in Anderson's history!
gonna wait for the tube version
It can double as a personal head heater for wintertime!
I‘ll buy this. Please be good...
Nevermind, just heard the price...i‘m broke...
Update:
Holy shit, got them for Christmas!
I can tell you guys, they‘re very cool! They sound awesome, but i wouldn‘t say that the amp-in-room-feature is that insane & authentic (but nice to have. if you dont move your head a lot, it works well). Personally, i don‘t mind, because this was never something that bothered me🤷♂️
Tldr: they‘re very good!
How much do these go for?
@@heythere160 bout 429 €. I think it's a good price for what you get. But i have a Katana 100, so i guess i don't need it ^^
@@xRegularJohnx Thanks for the info, John.
Maybe theyll make a katana edition in a few years
I'll wait for the vr goggles that have a 20K arena filled with hot chicks flashing their anatomy.
The surround demonstration worked great! Really sells the headphone experience
Christ ! What a wonderful piece of kit . Boss are fast becoming the ultimate Guitar Accoutrements Company !
Is it already out and sold out or is it actually released in Jan? was proper excited to get these before Christmas.
hoptop77 available now
Rob Chapman it says January on the website???
@7:00 "F***in' hell, man!"
Well, that's a resounding recommendation if ever I heard one.
Amazing demo! The ear thingy works amazingly well, sounds great through my monitors.
Can't beleive that demo actually worked! Really cool.
Are these available now? My answer to “what you want for Christmas?” up until this video was “nothing”.
Now we gotta have the Captain do some ASMR real quick
Periphery
OH MY GOD that was amazing! Ill be buying these! Great demonstration guys!
omg that's incredible! the demo worked perfectly. I want them!!!!!!!!!!!!
