I can confirm AptxHD support. Defaulted to AptxHD on my pixel.
Spinfit cp360 arrived, definately don’t get as good a seal as with the stocks, sound loses a lot of body as a result. The medium are really quite small compared to medium stock tips. If you find the stock M just slightly too big don’t bother, these will be too Small by a mile.

I must have big ear holes, since use the large size on any tip I get - come to think of it, I found the cp360L to be a little smaller than the usual L size. You might want to try AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC - they work for me and their sizes tend to be on the large side. They are sticky, so they stay in your ears well.

Thank you, forgive me, which adaptor are you using for the iphone 12
works flawlesslyIt’s much better sounding with aptx hd as with stock iPhone aac codec . And not that much money …

Here is an update on the replacement PI7s that arrived yesterday. The first pair I had were plagued with problems: wireless charging didn't work; I had frequent bluetooth dropouts; the final straw was that the right phone developed a loud sizzling when ANC was on.
The new pair: wireless charging works; no sizzling; I went for a walk this morning through city streets and forest glades and listened to the entire Bach Bm Mass without one dropout. A beautiful warm day (finally, here in Canada), pleasant scenery, the greatest music ever written and exquisite sound. Very nice.

AptX HD does not work on the PI7 with my Node 2i. Will try the other one later too but I suspect it is the PI7. AptX HD works fine with my Qudelix 5K.
I actually cannot force aptX HD on my LG V60 and OnePlus 8T. both only connect to the PI7 via aptX Adaptive and aptX HD is not available. Screenshots from my V60 attached.

You need an Xperia 1 ii like Pitter. That’s a real big boy aptx HD phone.
Dont think that is the point...it should work with any device (phone, streamer, DAP, etc that is capable of aptX HD). Looks like this is an issue with the PI7 that B&W needs to address. Another phone (regardless of being "big boy" or not) is not an option and should not be a solution. AptX HD is listed in their specs and it does not say aptX HD only with the Xperia1.
I was hoping to use these with the Node 2i that sits on my desk so I am disappointed but not giving up on B&W and hoping they can address in a firmware update. Will be reaching out to them when I have some time.
