Sony design are always kind stagnant or in this case weird with the gold part sticking like cyst acne. can't they design it better ?

    Anonymous, 27 May 2021LDAC does not change endurance, just the ANC. It does as does every other encoding as it increases in complexity.
    Even Sony mentions that in their support page - AAC vs LDAC battery life ... look it up.

      gringo, 27 May 2021hahaha 250€ ... wtf sony ??? i prefer buying poco f3 for t... moreAs a poco f3 owner, i don't think I'll be buying the f3 if i could afford the sony earbuds lol. We're just not the target demographic, they're targeting either the mid-high audio segment or people who doesn't really care about pricing if it's for audio.
      audio equipment can get REALLY expensive real fast for the higher end ones, so these Sonys might actually be a bargain if the last gen is anything to go by.

          gringo, 27 May 2021hahaha 250€ ... wtf sony ??? i prefer buying poco f3 for t... moreWhy are you commenting about a phone? You do realize that Sony has one of the best, if not the best noise cancellation headphones on the market. Why are you comparing earbuds to a phone? You're clearly here just to hate on Sony.

              This is better than Samsung buds pro, 360 audio is only limited to latest Samsung flagship does not work on older Samsung phones and non-Samsung devices. That's why Samsung sucks, and WF-1000XM4 is king and future proof for all Android users.

                    Hopefully ANC is as good as the AirPods Pro, and LDAC support would also be an awesome bonus

                      Either way, at least the carrying case looks pocketable.

                        Want aptX codec support and Google Fast Pair support

                          If they can deliver the same thing that the WH-1000XM4 delivers, then it will be the best one the market. I would instantly get it so when I walk in the rain or something it would be fine under my hoodie.

                            vrvly, 27 May 2021Battery times are probably not with ldac, but I like improv... moreLDAC does not change endurance, just the ANC.

                              Battery times are probably not with ldac, but I like improvement anyway. Hopefully it beats the likes of nura, oppo, apple or Bose, which got sightly better anc than xm3. From those nuraloop for wire option and oppo enco x got ldhc, which support is a wonder. Ldac tws only Sony I think.
