Upgraded to the Mive Style Folder 2 after daily driving the Folder 1 for months
Basically, Mive Style Folder 1 vs Mive Style Folder 2 as someone who daily drove the Folder 1.
I tried. I really tried to stay with the Mive Style Folder 1 and convinced myself that upgrading to the 2 wouldn't be worth it, that a slight hardware upgrade was not worth. But the Folder 1 just couldn't

Leaving Apple ecosystem and looking for Airpod Pros alternatives. Which earbuds don’t suck across Android + Linux + Windows?
I own the Technics EAH-AZ100. Mainly because they offer a genuine ten hours of battery life. Without a case, that is. But my Sony Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones also meet all three criteria. Multiconnection – check Listen to music on A and then answer on B – check Recognized under Linux (Mint) – check P

Keeping hearing aids on while traveling
On the plane or train, I remove the hearing aids and put in Sony WF-1000XM5‘s. These are some of rhe best Bluetooth noise canceling earbuds & are completely in-Ear.

To all Sony XM3, XM4 and XM5 enjoyers. Your headphones can sound very near to audiophile-levels with a few steps. The improvement comes at the cost of a compromises on comfort, and will require 1-2 hours of research and software installation.
FIRST, you need to realize that Sony manufactures one of the best dynamic drivers in the world, but they suck at tuning them for unknown reasons. With the right technique, and software tweaks, you can change the sound of your dynamic drivers on your Sonys to near-audiophile levels.
TLDR; the things

Extremely disappointed with the noise canceling of the Sony WH-1000XM5
Recently bought the WH-1000XM5 and oh my God, the ANC is far worse than I expected after reading reviews online.
It's better than nothing for sure, but that's about it.
Someone talking, a child crying, a phone ringing or your own mouse clicks? Yeah, all of that will be perfectly heard even when A

Mac mini headphones
I've connected Sony XM5's and pretty much each gen of air pods and they sounds great on M1 2020 Mini. Have you tried different pairs to test?

AirPods pro 3 alsam pişman olur muyum
Kulak üstünde doğru ama kulak icinde şuan airpods pro 3 modeli en iyisi net bir şekilde. wf-1000xm5 de çok iyi ama en iyisi değil. Android telin varsa ama en iyisi Sony diyebiliriz Çünkü airpods iPhone İçin yapılmış bir model olduğu için androidde tam performans vermiyor Lakin onun dışında en iyisi

Vest 4 - Loss of Audio Quality
Thanks for this! Yeah I understand that lossless is somewhat pointless over Bluetooth. But it would be nice if the vest could at least handle transmitting 320kbps without distorting. I've been using an aux cable between the vest and my headphones today which has certainly solved the problem - but it
