    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...

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

    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...

    The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)

    Maybe there is misunderstanding when I said negative review, I certainly don't mean bad headphones per se, rather what I really mean is a reviewer should be consistent in his reviews and on which headphones he likes/dislikes. Tyll seems to be leading towards "reference class sound signature"...

    The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)

    Well, at least Tyll is willing to stick his head out and take a stand on headphone(s) that he doesn't like. On the other hand, I don't think I have ever seen Steve Guttenberg turn in a negative review, take that how you will.....

    Sony MDR-1000X

    For what it's worth, I have decided to return my pair of 1000x. The squeaking is getting annoying and frankly I think it has got worse since I first notice them last week, now I hear them every time I move my jaw. As a noise cancellation headphone, I think its ANC is superb and far ahead of my...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    If you are listening from your laptop, the PXC 550 can charge and play at the same time via its USB cable, I think the ANC works this way as well. Although most wireless headphones should come charged, even if partially, and unless you are flying 20+ hours to the other side of the globe, they...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Absolutely, that is a must for all headphones in general, as much as possible anyway, I understand some countries/areas don't have great selection of headphones available to try. Afterall, it is not a popularity contest, just because some headphones get better reviews doesn't mean that it will...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Well, I actually kinda like the Bose as well, I don't think they are as bad as some people are making them out to be. I don't rate their speakers, but they do make okay sounding ANC headphones. Tyll from innerfidelity recently reviewed the 1000x as well but still prefers the QC35 over the...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    It seems I spoke too soon when I said my pair doesn't creak, I start to hear some creaking(coincidentally also coming from the left earcup) when I finally had the time to listen to it for an extended time. I usually only hear it when I move my head or when my mouth is doing a "chewing" action...

    I replied you on pm, but will also post this here in case anyone else is also interested in this. The voice guidance is in English for the pair that I got from Amazon.de.

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Well, my 1000x arrived from amazon.de, I bought them despite my misgivings on them(tested them multiple times at various location and wasn't particularly impressed) but the price was just too good to not buy one(thanks whoever posted that price drop!) and test it under my usual listening...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Well, I said he is right when I should have probably said that he is not wrong to use the term passive noise cancellation since, as mentioned, I have seen more than one user/site use passive noise cancellation headphones when referring to headphones without ANC. That said, I do agree that the...
