AnonD-1073493, 25 Jul 2023oh. i see. haha ure right, i missed that. and never bought ... moreGot the XM4s(both WF and WH), they're amazing. The first ANC earbuds and they blew me away because they made flying in an airplane bearable noise-wise.
And the audio is excellent, IMO bit more bassy than the WH-1000XM4s that I also have.
My only gripe is their size, since they can't fully fit into my "ear cup" so they scrape/irritate my ear long-term unless I let them stick out of my ear(the ear canal part is is okay, and keep in mind that my "ear cup" is smaller than average).
So yeah, I think the XM5s will be great, but the XM4s at a discount will still blow you away as long as you don't have small ears.

Basically what I need: FR graph, PNC/ANC graph, max loudness in dB, binaural video comparison of its performance.

DeepIn2U, 25 Jul 2023Nice!
Looking forward to trying these out. If I can wea... moreLDAC has been part of AOSP since android 8.0.
But OEMs have to pay fees to sony to activate.
So, not all phones have.
Any phone above $500, should have it.

Nice!
Looking forward to trying these out. If I can wear them for longer than the Jabra Elite 7 Active’s (3hrs) then I’ll keep them. Still annoyed that HiRes audio is ONLy on LDAC which only Sony uses vs the latest HD Audio standard that Oppo FindX3 Pro uses

If I were rich I would buy 100 pairs of different tws earbuds. I love them and I love my music. Currently have 5 pairs of tws earbuds. Also 1 over ear headphones which can be used both wired and wireless. 1 neckband. 1 in ear monitor which is wired but you can disconnect mmcx cable and make them either tws or neckband. And 3 pairs of simple wired earphones. 11 in total. Wireless is better with my phone when walking. Wired is better with my laptop when relaxing at home. Both variants can sound great. Make sure to enable equalizer and set it to bass boost mode or adjust manually. Would be happy to tell you my models if you want.

Both my wife and I use LinkBuds S and they're phenomenal. I can only imagine the quality of the new flagship buds.

SoundPeats are way cheaper with better quality.
Sony is too hungry with their TWS and their smartphones ... Calm Down please !

[deleted post]It is $300 but in most of the regions it will cost way more than that.
It really begs the question of: Is it worth it or not?
