Nah, definitely not age – I’m 55+ and have tinnitus. AAC + Spotify is like a double strike. Apple Music with Apple Lossless enabled will help with playback quality and listening wired, lighting to 3.5mm TRS, with provide you the best sound quality at the expense of being tethered. I own one too many

I have the Creative BT-W6 dongle, which is basically the same as BTD-700, judging by the feature set. I also use it with B&W PX7 s3 that supports every aptX Adaptive flavor and Snapdragon Sound. Hence, I will try to answer both of those questions: Yes, because every Apple device streams AAC - which

I don't know if you already made your decision, but I own the PX8 and they are great. The sound is excellent and warm. It made me want to listen to old songs all over again. And the DAC mode is amazing when connected with USB C device (MacBook Pro, Samsung Galaxy Fold 6 & iPhone 15 wired wired have

Personally I very much enjoy using the Questyle QCC. I have the pro but I think that’s overkill for the B&W since they don’t have LDAC. I find Apple Lossless music sounds phenomenal on the Px8s2. Yes, I have switched between AAC and the dongle and I do notice a difference. The soundstage opens up an

If you were using the headphone with microphone over Bluetooth, it's going to sound bad because standard Bluetooth codecs only support 2 channels of audio. That means 1 channel for your ears (mono) and 1 channel for your microphone. Not to mention much lower bitrate, too. If B&W actually releases th

Not at all surprised, B&W have an faulty implementation of apx adaptive in low latency mode across all their older BT wireless range of hps, its been fixed in their PX8 s2 and PX7 s3 range but their engineers denied the fault even existed when I questioned them and gave them several references of pr

I had the previous version from the Fiio adaptor that’s called bt11 , it was good but not the best and stopped working after a year , I bought the questyle qcc pro and because it’s MFI certified it worked with the IOS better in every way and have a more stable connection. I use with my AZ100 for LDA

Quite agree. Needed 2 headsets for me and my wife. Tried the Dali io6 and the b&w Px7 s3. Sounds of the Dali is superior but if you want to listen to bassy dance music id pick the Px7. Also for the codec. My main driver is the Dali , but the Px7 has a bit better comfort due the shape of the earpads

you can try the B&W PX7 S3 which also uses aptx lossless and low latency. it is supposed to have a higher quality audio than the sony and bose's ANC and has quite strong bass. I actually need to apply a neg. V EQ setting to normalize it, so it may be right for you.
