It used to work, now it’s useless for Aleck 006. Last update killed it.
I bought the Aleck 006 to integrate with my daughter’s and my Smith helmets for music. When I tried to download Aleck Go I found it is discontinued. The current app requires registration. I really have no intention of registering for an app and the associated e-mails just for a set of head phones. I’m disappointed that registration is required just to access an equalizer for a set of ski helmet headphones.
I wasn’t expecting much from the reviews but the audio quality is really good( I have no clue why someone said this was airline quality), I just installed them into my Smith Mission helmet. The audio has great depth the volume can get pretty high which I like, the equalizer is a huge plus(one recommendation is that you guys label what each frequency means). I haven’t tried any of the social features yet but I’ll see if I can update my review once I do , just from a glance the map built into the app is really detailed. The app and setup of the device was easy. Overall I have zero complaints and am really excited to try this out on mountain.
Headphones Works good but the app is absolutely terrible tons of bugs. The sound quality is much better after tuning in the app but the app only works 1% of the time.
Took out on a bike ride and could hear almost everything around me except the order person in my party. They would talk and I could barely hear them over the surrounding noises without them having to shout. They could not hear me above a whisper no matter what we tried. Not happy at all with the purchase of the devices and we’re stuck with two.
We are weeks out from the season start and I wanted to check the aleck go app for updates to my Aleck 006. The entire company seems rebranded with a new app and the old one shut down. Which is fine, I’m all for progress and new features but the UI of this app is painful. While the headphones claim hi fidelity audio but I would say the audio quality is closer to the headphones an airline gives out for free. When you tune the eq they become tolerable but that feature is gone now. Maybe it’s hidden but the process to add my set to the the app seems broken and there is no ability to tune the eq, update or anything that I was hoping to find with the app.
Nothing works, EVER! Too finicky. Return if you still have time. We own 4 and are stuck with them. Nothing more than overpriced bluetooth speakers. Buy anything other than these! My $20 Skull Candy’s work as advertised unlike this garbage.
Was excited to keep track of the family while skiing, but alas there are to many bugs to rely on this app. It continually closed itself on one phone. The push to talk worked intermittently and often with a big delay. The tracking was also inconsistent. And the time for the firm ware update was just ridiculous Love the idea of the app, but it has a long way to go to be truly functional.
This is a big failed app that you cannot even get past the registration and signing up without significant problems. Too many bugs, and not reliable for communication, they will be returned for a refund. It’s a shame. They started with a good idea, but could not execute it. Try the Cena snow talk, on Amazon, they actually work without an apt true walkie-talkie, Bluetooth wireless communication.
After struggling with the app I discovered there was a new app. This has to be the most difficult app to set up, pair, grant permissions, you name it. I haven’t even used it on the slopes yet and I’m about to give up on it. Based on some reviews I highly expect the experience to be bad.
