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

If need the conductive tape I would be glad to send you a piece (I have a big roll I'll never use). I've not found a good alternative. Possibly the Sony XM

#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
