      I hope these have a better 🎤 🎙

        I'm more interested in noise suppression graph and frequency response. As smart functions are at least for me less important...

              Success of these cans rides on attraction to difference customers. Some want just proper headset and require multipairing and better mic while others like myself couldn't care about headset cause I never use it as one nor I can about multi device pair because LDAC can't work in such setup. I care about wireless sound quality and 1000X kills it in that department. Bit bass boomy like XtraBass brand but ok

                  RobZ, 02 Aug 2020if they don't come with KILLER MIC QUALITY i'll p... moreIndeed. None of the new features strange out as killer features for me, but better call quality is do or die. I'm not going to but another set is headphones that make me sound like a fish in an aquarium.

                              Looks very much like my Sony WH-1000XM3.

                                [deleted post]People still buy iPhones despite the glaringly obvious and vast difference in performance. Complaining about the price or lack of features in luxury items is something only a poor man would do.

                                    Speak-to-chat is another new entry on the feature list - it will pause your music when it detects you're speaking, and resume when you're done. It will do so 30 seconds after you're done talking (a different interval can be set within the app), so you get a chance to hear the response, though the other party will still have no way of knowing you can hear them.

                                    Ah... that will be 1000XM5 new features, a "Head-speaking" shape light-up icon at headphone front facing area when in Speak-to-chat mode, so the other party can quickly identify it :-)

                                        it's absolutely unacceptable to pay anything north of 349$ and don't get a decent call handsfree experience!
