      JeffyB, 31 Mar 2021I have only tried their products lightly but I gotta say ap... moreCorrect! It really infuriates me. I was a Sony fanboy back then and even me is so frustrated that they won't even try to compete in the market,, they just release a product and let their loyal fan to buy those.

      Im still annoyed even now because of how dense executives are. It's pretty obvious they should do something with the marketing department but for some reason they still wont do anything about it smh.

        Anonymous, 01 Apr 2021But they are the worst sounding among the lot AirPods pro sounds very good. If you want some fake heavy bass or otherway more coloured sound that’s ok. We all have our own taste. AirPods offer very balanced and natural sound with balanced bass.

          When AirPods came out. People laughed and say it will never work.
          1. When you shake your head.. those things will fall out.
          2. Its like putting toothbrush in your ears.

          Now, they praise and everyone goes into the hype train. It goes to show everything Apple touches becomes famous.

                ae86, 31 Mar 2021Happy to see Sony is doing great in Audio segment. Been ... moreI have only tried their products lightly but I gotta say apart from their quality of products, Sony is doing so many things wrong in the marketing game. Firstly, the names are terrible, truly. Also, they somehow target the wrong audience hence the sales figures are good but not great.

                  I wonder when will tws tech be cheap enough to sell 1000xm4s like anc under 100 dollars.

                    Apple winning by big margin as always!

                    Well done
