Rated 4 out of 5

Maybe not crucial. ymmv

There have been a couple time when my Pixel 7 wouldn't connect (yes, Android, but things shouldn't only work with iPhones) so that's a scare i have: isitgonaworknow? So not super cool. Otherwise yes, functions are cool on the app side but the backing out of a function sometimes with stop button, some other times with the home button? confusing. The hole UI is not my fav so far. Yes the interface is similar to the x8 or x6 screen? but to my taste it would be clearer where to find things with a more conventional tab-based menus. I'll get used to it, but I've been trained on mini binders of settings on small screens for too long. My hope is that it'll work better and that this port would one day run audio wirelessly to the phone for remote monitoring? x6 sidecar review: great device, it bugs me to know that ultrasonic tone is there (I can see it on spectrogram even 2 years after the release, but I doubt it'll mess up the kind of stuff I do.
