How do you set the noise cancelling adjustments without the app

You don't, presumably.

how do you set the equalizer options

Use an EQ on your device?

how do you alter the button options

You don't.

how do you toggle which devices to connect to from your dual connect list…if you have no app?

This is usually handled by the OS.

So you lose functionality without an app.
The soundcore open source app allows you to pre-pair a bunch of devices, they then show as a list and you can pick two with the toggles to swap your earbuds to different decives on the fly. It skips the repairing steps. I.e. I have multiple computers at home (work system and home system), and a work phone and home phone. It is handy to swap from meeting, music, or phone calls

I just meant they're still functional

Ah. I wouldn't buy soundcore if all you wanted was playback with no features.
