    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    I tried them last Friday when they were finally available for sales in my area. They fit much better than the WF-1000x(flush with ear, not sticking out) and the carrying case is even smaller than the WF-1000x's which surprised me a little as the photos I have seen from online reviews made me...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Earlier in the thread people were mentioning complete cutoff and/or the right side earphone not connecting back, I have not experienced that that's why I say I have no dropouts. In any case, as mentioned, the right side earphone connects back and play music in less than half a second for me, and...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    I use mine almost daily for about a month now and have not faced any disconnects whatsoever. There are some instances where the right side cuts off but the sound comes back after a half second or so, and the instances are far and few. I’m using them with an iPhone 7 for what it’s worth, my Pixel...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    I didn't say anything about it being near field communication or anything like that, in fact Sony didn't mention what technology it is using, but it is a fact that the right earphone is the slave and it is only communicating with the left earphone not the source; you cannot use the right...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    My bad, I thought you saying both of the E8 earphones can connect wirelessly to the source simultaneously like Apple's implementation instead of "master-slave" like most other true wireless earbuds.

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Well, they literally state this on on their product specification: "Earbuds: Right (Master) 7g, Left (Slave) 6g". Maybe they have a better implementation or better codex support, who knows. Anyway, good to know there is no audio lag on the E8, waiting for them to be available in my area so that...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Left earphone is the master earphone, right the slave. Only left earphone is communicating with the phone, right earphone is only getting whatever is being fed by the left earphone, it is useless without the left earphone. Try docking the left earphone, the right earphone instantly stop playing...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Used them quite a bit over the last week, I have not encounter any audio dropouts or clicking sounds. The default iOS video player and Netflix(both streamed and saved videos) are the only apps I have that can play video without any audio lag; YouTube, Facebook and even the message keyboard click...

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Ah, I see, thanks for the clarification. But I supposed with the earbuds sitting deeper in the ear, it will probably do a good job blocking out most of the noise anyway.

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Is there ANC on the E8? I went through the product page and found some reference to "transparent mode", I am guessing that is what they call ANC? If so, how well does it work? I used to own the BeoPlay H9 and the ANC on it was almost non-existent, if these are better I might be tempted to have...

    Yup, it’s different between YouTube and Netflix. There is a slight audio lag on YouTube but not on Netflix.

    Sony WF-1000X discussion thread: Truly wireless IEM with Active Noise Cancelling!

    Just received mine, was debating whether to go for the B&W PX or these, ended up with these since I wanted something in a smaller package. Anyway, I tried them on the commute home just now and I felt that the ANC was surprisingly good, almost as good as my QC35 I think? I cannot hear the noise...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    I also think that the sound quality of P7 Wireless is noticeably better than the 1000x from my time owning both of them. I returned the 1000x about 2 weeks after receiving them and bought the QC35 for travelling use instead, mainly because the 1000x I received had a creaky left headband barely...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Active Noise Cancellation headphones are excellent at cancelling continuous noise(airplane engine for example) but I don't think they do as well with human voices, but still, both the 1000x and QC35 are much better in this aspect compared to the P7 Wireless. The P7 has decent noise isolation...
