Apple introduces AirPods Max 2

Sony WH-1000XM6 sounds great. But they look and feel kind of plastic and cheap, so I couldn’t convince myself to drop the big bucks on them. That’s just a personal issue. Nothing against the quality and tech of Sony.

Why is it that in 2026 we still can't use headphone mic + stereo in Windows 11?

LE audio also need the GMAP/Gaming profile active. For example WH-1000XM6 has LE audio, but it doesn't have the LE audio GMAP/Gaming profile, which also degrades the sound quality - or better said, while the mic sounds a lot better than classic BT, the headphones enter a phone call mode, where the a

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

Help me choose: Px7 S3 vs. WH-1000XM6 (also considering Bose QC Ultra & AirPods Max USB-C) — iPhone-only listener, travel + desk use

#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 Xperia 1 VIII is so anti-2026.

a pet peeve but why does sony show the terrible sounding xm6 in wired mode which the whole point of the headphone is wireless features, when sony literally makes the mdr mv1 for the same price and that is regarded as one of the most comfortable headphones ever that even audiophiles agree sounds grea

Switching from Bose QC Ultra 2 and getting WH XM6

I have a big head so I just found the xm6 uncomfortable overall. The top headband felt uncomfortable after using them for a decent amount of time. The WC XLs helped a lot on the clamping force, but it still felt uncomfortable. I prefer the heavier bass that I got when I had tried the Bose before. I

Poweramp is getting a huge update... say Hello to AI Music!

The thing is, I previously saw an oratory1990 preset with 10 bands for the Sony WH-1000XM6 in the Poweramp app a few months ago. However, I don’t know what happened—it is no longer available now. It seems to have been removed from AutoEQ. The sound quality of that preset was extremely good, and I re

Yeah keen to try the Timeless 2 with the 4.4mm jack, will be interesting to hear if it's any better than the 3.5mm. Did consider over ear headphones but I've already got a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6's and it's too much to be replacing those already (even if they sound surprisingly muddy compared to the

Is high-resolution audio setting just a scam?

I can definitely hear the difference between MP3, CD and HiRes. A lot depends on what you are listening to, I listen to a lot of classical music and HiRes definitely makes a big difference. As far as wireless headphones go: I purchased a pair of Sony WH-1000XM6 hoping that they would be an improveme

Just got my first pair of Nothing Headphones

Ok relax... The (a) is def... Not better than the 1. In every ways, even price when u take all the frequent discounts. Altho' the new colorways cant be appealing to some ppl but that's pretty much it. The Headphone 1 is still King, i competes with the top brass. XM6, Airpods max, Bose qC, AND some o
