Some settings might be changed frequently and an easy way to access them would be great:
- ANC mode (ANC/normal/transparency)
- ANC wind noise reduction
- Equalizer presets
- ???
With "easy way" I mean something that is easily accessible in any situation without opening an app or navigating to your home screen (widget). Android offers quick settings tiles in its notification area / control center when you pull down the notification bar. Apps can register their own tiles:

Use case
-
I'm watching a video with ANC active. Someone approaches me and wants to talk to me. I quickly pull down the notification bar and tap the ANC tile to switch to transparency mode.
-
A song starts to play that would benefit from a different EQ setting. Tapping on the EQ tile opens a popup from where I can select a different preset.
Open questions
- What settings should be offered? One tile for each setting as recommended by Android or a popup offering access to more settings?
- Which device is used?
- Will it require periodic polling of the device status to show the current state in the tile?
