WH-1000XM5

I recently purchased a pair of Sony WH-1000XM5's and for the first couple of weeks they were working great and I had no issues with them whatsoever. I bought these headphones so I could use them whenever I'm studying or when I'm catching the bus to school. However, around 3 weeks ago, the right ear

Videobellen is één ding, maar laatst was iemand al aan het videobellen op luide toon om kwart voor zeven 's ochtends in een verder stille coupé. Het volume was hard genoeg dat het door m'n Sony WH-1000XM5 heenkwam. Het was in het (ik denk) Hindi dus ik kon niet eens vermakelijk meeluisteren. Die men

I regret buying these headphones!

Better ANC than Sony WH-1000XM5 in my experience. 12 band EQ in app. USB C supports both analog AND digital input (for the latter

Thing is the XM5's ANC also feels like it's on the weak side for me. Again I'm used to in ears with seriously good ANC (ie. AirPods Pro 2 & 3 or Sony WF-1000XM5 when I get a good fit which is hard). I haven't had a chance to extensively try the XM6, but the couple seconds when I did felt like its AN

I have an android phone. I use the app to switch back and forth between using my phone or my laptop - however, i have ambient sound control on and noise cancelling selected and yet as i sit here with sound off - i can quite clearly hear sounds from other conversations. If my player is off - shouldn'
