What Is Sennheiser CapTune (Now Known As Sennheiser Smart Control App)?

Updated by Kyle Newgent on Feb 10, 2023

Sennheiser describes Smart Control App (CapTune) as “Multi-Source Ability for Unlimited Musical Pleasure.” But what the heck does that mean?!

Smart Control App is a Sennheiser Music application for iPhone and Android. It allows you to change your music settings so that you can customize sound levels and settings for music on your smartphone or mobile device. It currently comes with 3 free months of Tidal music service.

What’s more, Sennheiser Smart Control App works seamlessly with DLNA-enabled devices* and integrates TIDAL so you can create your own multi-source playlists.
