Alternative for Edifier software (alien.top)

Hey, I recently bought the Edifier W820NB Plus headphones, and they're great. However, there's one major problem: the software. The Edifier app is filled with bloatware and possibly spyware too, as it requires location permissions to work. Is there any app that allows you to control Edifier headphones features like noise cancellation? An open-source app would be perfect, but I'll take any alternative as long as it's better than the default Edifier app.

Thanks for the help. Fortunately, noise cancellation is enabled by default, and I don't really use other features, so I can live without an app. I'm not tech-savvy enough to write my own app, but in theory, it doesn't seem that difficult: an app with just a battery indicator and switch for noise cancellation or ambient sound mode would be direct upgrade over these bloated brand apps.
