I have actually noticed the sub bass dig a bit deeper lately, which is a welcome change for the music I listen to. I always felt it lacked in that area compared to B&O cans. If a firmware updated caused it, then the worst change for me is horrendous battery life. It's almost halved. They are 18...

Not much they can do with the APM until they come up with their own proprietary wireless to support lossless bandwidth, which they flirted the idea of ages ago now. In the meantime, they could of course make a 'Studio' version with larger cans and bigger batteries, but no one is going to pay...

I'm now on my second set of APM. First set lasted 16 months and then failed completely. Complete refusal to connect to anything and the factory reset also stopped working. Utterly dead. The tell tale signs of impending doom were: Constant disconnects/reconnects on Apple TV and iPhone. Removal...

That is a good point, although the H95 is a no holds barred, anniversary model. The APM's natural rival would be the B&O HX, especially at Amazon's $479 price for the APM. But for me, the APM's ecosystem integration, rock solid wireless connection, higher volume levels, superior ANC and...

Gotta pay to play I'm afraid. The fakes are easy to spot. Plenty of YouTube videos covering the differences. If in doubt, just buy from a legitimate source. Amazon sell them for $479. Any cheaper than that, they are likely refurbished or fake. Personally speaking, at $400 I'd say they're a...

I have the same skin reaction problem with the apple earpads. If I wear them for an hour or more, I get breakouts. That never happened with the leather pads on my B&O H9s. I’m surprised Apple don’t offer any alternative materials.

A few questions: Is it just me or does Spatial Audio not work with Apple Music on Apple TV 4K? The option is greyed out. It works fine on YouTube etc. Seems odd that it works with Apple Music on my phone, but not the TV! Has anyone else got a stiff one? A stiff to rotate cup that is. My left...

Interesting. I've never used or seen that function on my ATV 4K, lol. I just throw the APMs on and have never had any problems (that I've noticed) with lip sync or any other timing delays etc. Is it worth setting up regardless? I like 'dark' personally. I think the APMs sound profile with...

They’re ugly, imo. I didn’t buy them for their appearance, so rarely take them out of the house.

I tried that too but it made it worse if anything, lol. Hopefully Apple will come up with some more material choices one day. The standard material seems to trap dirt and sweat.

They were never £550 headphones, £350 at most but they’re still the most compelling choice for those in the Apple ecosystem. They have plenty of issues. Weight, condensation, stinky earpads, average battery life, stupid case, connectivity bugs and embarrassing to wear in public…..but I love ‘em!

I went ahead and bought the Fit Pro anyway as I had some Amazon vouchers to use up. Not as bad as I was expecting sound wise, but yeah, the ANC isn’t great - compared to APM at least. I might try some Comply type memory foam tips to get better physical isolation.

That is good to know, thank you. I've been looking into AirPods Pro vs Fit Pro to 'Share' from my Apple TV for my girlfriend when watching movies. It is annoying that only H1 head/ear phones can be used for dual Bluetooth but it is what it is. Fit Pro it is then! Whilst the APM don't dig...

Ah OK, of course they did :smile: It's 'normal' for vehicle glass to condensate over winter, but not domestic electronics kept indoors. My house is 21-22 deg C minimum, so if I did wear them outside when it's freezing, I suspect there would be puddles of water under the ear cups! Oh well, if...

What is the latest with the condensation build up? Have Apple even acknowledged it? Now that winter has arrived, I'm having to dab out the moisture every day. I wear them for 8-9 hours pretty much every day. It does concern me that the water I CAN'T see is slowly damaging the electronics...
