The app stores the "Headphone name" of headphones that have been connected once, so the name does not return to its initial value even when the headphones' factory settings are restored. The language settings for the Voice prompt and Amazon Alexa also do not return to their initial values even when the headphones' factory settings are restored because these settings are switched by transferring data from the smartphone.
