Microsoft is promising to make Bluetooth audio much better in Windows 11

Turns out that is because Microsoft hasn't been keeping up with bluetooth standards. Nah. Bluetooth standards are complete trash. Their standard has been incompetent for more than 25 years now and I'm convinced they're trying to make it to 35. LE audio was supposed to deliver this feature, It sort o

Wired earphones are better

The sound difference is unnoticeable for the vast majority of users. Also, the more expensive Bluetooth headphones like Sony xm6 have technology to help them uncompress the signal making this difference even more unnoticeable. Unless your a musician the benefits of Bluetooth far outweigh wired earph

Quick flip7 pros and cons review after nearly a month. Came from iPhone 16pro max

Bluetooth headphones not connecting when the phone is closed is definitely not normal. I connect to my Sony WH-1000XM6 and Powerbeats Pro 2 while the phone is closed all the time, on average at least 3 or 4 times a day, always while the phone is closed and I pull down the quick menu on the cover scr

Best Headphones/Noise Canceling

Sony WH-1000XM6. I worked in an open office with a dude who acted like he was presenting to a conference every time he would take a Teams call, and they were better than any I tried before. They are multipoint and from what I’ve seen, work much better if you’re a dual Windows and iPhone user, versus

#Need real-world feedback - considering returning Sony XM6

I'd love some real-world feedback while I consider returning my XM6. I used to have AirPods Max (lightning port) that I sold due to its weight and port as I try to move to a USB-C only setup. I couldn't stand the case and the weight.

I am

Sony WH-1000XM6 incompatible with Creative BT-W6 in LE Audio

Received the WH-1000XM6 today and tried to connect them in LE Audio (since they don't support AptX and by default they connect in SBC mode), but when switching to LE Audio in the Creative BT-W6 the application gets stuck in "Switching mode..." and even when restarting and reconnecting both devices i

I always said Bose was shit…

I bought a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra gen 2. And couldn't agree more with your assessment. After 14 days I returned them. Same issue with random disconnects. Got myself a pair of Sony wh-1000xm6 and it's soooo much better

Noise Canceling Kopfhörer zum Studieren

Ja, der Preis ist hoch. Deswegen hatte ich mir auch ein Vorgänger-Modell geholt und bin bis heute dabei geblieben. Auch wenn mich die WH-1000XM6 schon sehr reizen würden, besonders weil sie zwei Input-Quellen parallel nutzen können (Telefon und PC wäre klasse, um sie dann auch bei Input auflassen zu

How to get Hi-Res Lossless audio ?

I’ve read all the comments up until now and no one tells you the plain fact, that the WH-1000XM6 just straight up don’t support any form of lossless audio whether wired or wireless. The max you get is LDAC which doesn’t work on iPhone. If you want lossless quality, you have to use wired over a DAC.
