“Sony WF-1000XM4 are the best and most comfortable IMO. I did upgrade them to the XM5 but actually I regret that move and should have stayed with the XM4. On Android they work with LDAC lossless audio. You only get AAC on iPhone but it's still pretty good.”

“… [truncated] … 3, transparency mode is bettere on the Oneplus, but perfectly usable still. I am really impressed with these, must buy for me.”

“I absolutely love my sony XM4s”

“Also, the really feature packed stuff....like those Sony wf1000 are big and heavy, even the cases are cumbersome. I have these and they're a bummer. I love my wh1000s and thought the buds would be great for traveling and I hate them.”

“Pi8. Sony is overrated idk why they get to still be in the discussion. They do anc well. That's it.”

“… [truncated] … but there are two major issues that make them unsuitable for my everyday use. The latency is awful and the microphone quality is poor. I honestly don’t know what I should buy next. When I’m in meetings, I really… [truncated] …”

neutralheadphones “WF-1000XM4 battery replacement — what they don't tell you”Picked up a pair with dead batteries recently. Sony wants you to bin them or pay nearly as much as a new pair to service them. Decided to have a go myself. These are not fun to open. The shells are glued down properly and the internals are packed tighter than they have any right to be for something this small. Heat, patience, and a very thin pick - same approach as a smartwatch, just less forgiving. One wrong move and you're into the driver or the antenna flex. The batteries are held in with adhesive rather than soldered, which is actually the easy part once you're in. The hard part is getting there without wrecking the shell or slicing a cable. New cells are cheap - the labour is where people give up. Took me a while but both earbuds are back to full capacity, ANC working perfectly, case charging fine. Worth it? If you know what you're doing or know someone who does - absolutely. These sound too good to throw away over a £6 battery. Happy to answer questions on the process. 🎧

neutralearbuds “Recommend your best audio quality wireless earbuds to me🥺”So I've been using the Sony WF1000XM4 for 3 years, and bought 3 already because the battery is shit.... So I decided not to pay Sony for a earbud ever again. I hope I can get some real good suggestions, so if you can take sometime and recommend "your best" audio earbuds to me, I'd appreciate it. I've looked into Noble, Final, Byerdanamic, Sennhaiser, B&O even Marshall..... But I don't have a choice yet. And BTW I listen to MP3 nore often so yes sorry to the pros I listen to crappy audios haahah

neutraliems “Hesitation about returning”I bought some truthear Hexa and after a week I'm disappointed the sound is not that impressive (even coming from Sony WF 1000xm5) so these are my main complaints The cable it may seem obvious and not a problem but it's annoying when I don't have a pocket or when I'm on my bike it's just getting in the way and I can't charge while listening ( I know I can buy something for that and have one more cable ) Can't control my music without having to take my phone it's annoying for someone who's used to just tap to change music and tap more to increase the sound and I just don't like to take my phone every time I don't hear a thing even with no sound I'm barely hearing a thing it's a huge downside because every time someone's trying to talk to me I have to take off my earbuds but if I do it without taking my phone to stop the music I will lose a bit I don't know if I'm just too exigent but man I really hesitating yeah the sound is good but not that good to erase all of that so what do you think ? Am I just an asshole ?

positiveheadphones “My First Pair of Headphones!!”I picked up the Hifiman Arya Stealths and a Zen V2 Signature stack! I've been a huge fan of audio equipment my whole life but never jumped in on my own setup. Previously, my only audio experience was with TWS earbuds, best being WF-1000XM5. I'm seriously so happy that I have to share with someone!! Here are the things I've done so far. I want to maximize their potential, so please give advice as needed: -ZMF pads (Bought the Aryas used; came with them) -Set Windows audio device to highest quality -EQ'd to Oratory's settings using APO -Turned off XSpace/HFM on amp -Set digital output volumes to max and DAC knob to max -Made a Tidal account :)

positiveearbuds “Technics EAH-AZ100 more than a month later”Those earbuds are awesome. They have phenomenal sound quality, in fact the best sound quality out of all true wireless earbuds I ever tried (bose qc ultra ii, sony 1000xm5, samsung galaxy buds 3 pro, airpods pro 2, devialet gemini ii). Upgraded to these from the Sony WF-1000XM5. The anc is not as good as Sony but it atill pretty good. They are also super comfortable, and are good for gaming as they have low latency (compared to the XM5). Battery life is also insane. Overall would really recommend those earbuds especially to audiophiles who are looking for a pair of non-wired earbuds.
