IQbuds^TM features an unusual double pairing because we combine audio streaming capabilities (like a traditional Bluetooth classic headset) with App data control ( like a Bluetooth Smart fitness tracker). The double pairing is only required on iOS/Apple.

The double pairing is needed so the App can "talk" to the buds. You can pair the IQbuds with any device without the App using a single pairing.

So in summary:

• there is no audio processing on the phone, it is all done in the IQbuds^TM
• all settings are stored in the IQbuds^TM and not the phone
• the App is simply the interface to set and control the IQbuds^TM
• we have extended some of this control up to the IQbuds^TM via tap touch so the phone doesn't have to be taken out all the time to answer calls, toggle locations, ask Siri, stop/start music etc.
