If I travel a lot and need a ANC headphone I would definitely go with PX7 for the features alone (battery life, better NC, better case, durability) but I use it 95% of the time in my office so consistent high quality SQ is important. PX7 sounds bipolar, some songs pretty good and other songs...

Got the M3 and upon listening to it for a day I packed PX7 and it'a going back. I had a feeling that PX7 was a bit muddy (mostly in the mid) but didn't realize how veiled it was until I did a direct comparison between the two. I didn't feel excited listening to PX7 like my other wired...

For those in the US, B&H just dropped the price on PX7 by $50. May help someone who's been on the fence :)

Since we're all in the sharing mood here are my thoughts. Like many others who love P7W I was hoping that the PX7 (had it for a month) was all that plus more comfortable and with ANC (notice how I put ANC after comfort because it's not a primary feature for me). Coming from both P7W and XM3 I...

Me. No clicking whatsoever. Yet...

How's the bass on these compared to PX7? I currently have PX7 but I think I will send it back because the SQ is not where I want it to be. I am not a big bass head but I do enjoy quality, enhanced bass (something between flat and V shaped freq) and wonder how IO6 is. It's either this or M3 (also...

Anyone knows where I can get this (IO-6) in the U.S.? Hopefully with a hassle-free return policy. Thanks.

And the wear sensor doesn't work when connected to the Mac. Music keeps playing even when the headphones are off my head. Is this a bug?

Having two issues. On a Mac using BT they sound noticeably veiled than on a phone (S10+). Tried both aptx and mac. Same result. The other issues is that on a phone the music play just stops randomly and I find play music app closed. Same music and file format (flac). VNC player on the Mac.

Please report back when you get PX7 and Dali IO6. I am in search of another pair now that I am selling my XM3 due to the creaking issue (got a new pair as warranty replacement but decided not to risk again and get a different one). Just ordered PX7 but may consider others. Thanks.

I've been reading up on some previews of PX7 and they look quite promising. Since my last wireless headphones were P7W and loved them PX7 could be the one I've been waiting for! I don't know if I can wait two more weeks though ;)

Sorry, I am allergic to Bose :beyersmile:

What would be a good replacement of XM3? The creaking noise is finally getting to me and would like a different option. I am looking for (in the order of importance): 1. Better SQ 2. Comfort 3. Battery life 4. ANC One contender so far is MW65 while PX7 seems promising. Thanks.

Looking for a combo amp/dac that's not too big. Doesn't have to be pocketable as it will mostly be used indoor. SQ and input options (USB, BT, maybe opt) are important. Thinking around 500 or less. Was looking at ifi ones (Micro BL, xdsd) but I am open to others. Thanks.

Unless you physically get them wet (pool, beach) the typical Florida humidity will not damage them. I used to live in Florida until 3 weeks ago and used them without issues.

I have started experiencing the infamous creaking noise since a couple of weeks ago and it's not going away. It's on the right side and is pretty horrible. Every time I move my mouth/jaw or turn my head slightly I hear it. Did someone say it's covered under warranty? Is this a defect that pretty...

Just ignore the guy. He does this in pretty much every thread.

I owned both at one point then sold P7W after getting the M3 but not because M3 is superior. The answer to your question is not an easy yes or no. It's up to your priority. SQ-wise P7W is better in every way. Is it a night-and-day difference? No, but listening to them side by side there...

That's why auto off is configurable form 5 mins to hours or you can turn it off in the app. ANC while no BT is a different story though that I don't care much for.

Let's get back to the original issue where you said Sony couldn't let me charge while listening because it would blow up in your face and we reminded you that it's still possible to do that if we followed your logic. :) Also, have you ever heard of B&W PX, an ANC headphone? P7W is heavy and...

Thanks, maybe I will give 550 a shot. Putting on XM3 after using P7W for a while was like putting on plush down pillows!

Uh. yeah, no. We're talking about existing technology that's been in use for over two years. We're talking science. You're saying Sony couldn't make it work because it's technologically not feasable to make it safe.

Sigh.... I tried... enjoy your XM3! Hey, Graham, how's PXC550? I am looking for sound quality that can match P7W (or close enough) along with similar features like P7W. I thought the MX3 was it but those two issues I described is almost making me to reconsider. Any other that you may...

Even on my phone I don't turn off BT because I have other accessories that use BT. So you turn off your BT just to allow the auto shut off to work??? How does that make sense? I can see that you are a Sony fan but again, with XM3 they could've done more convenience wise.

LOL, you do realize Sony still allows you to still listen to music while charging using wired connection? Also, I guess B&W engineers don't know what they are doing so they risk their headphones blowing up while being used? :dt880smile:
