so folks i wanted to share my experience regarding the sony wf-1000xm5 earbuds.
I have paired it with my iphone 13 mini and have been using it with tidal and apple music mainly.I had earlier used airpods pro 2 and these are what i felt
1. the sony headphones multipoint works seamlessly
2.the anc is not something to write home about and i think it just does an average noise cancellation.the thing is while you are in anc on mode if u scratch a wooden floor with ur toes u will hear a kind of robotic sound in ur ear due to that.
3. In public transport with noise cancellation on i found that during calls the person on the other end could barely understand what i was saying.all the callers complained that not only was the call not clear but also that the sound seemed to lack the human touch.
4.post the latest update i guess even the sound has taken a major hit.even after playing around with the equalizer the sound seems like coming out of a pair of low cost buds.
i have now to check this with an android handset to confirm if the behaviour is the same.i bought this anticipating a movement to samsung s24 later this year but unfortunately it seems if this is the way it works even with android then i will have to go back to airpods pro2 and return these.
Please let me know your comments.
