Just a quick question for you @erockg !~I believe you have an H95 from B&O!
I am seriously considering replacing my B&O Portal with H95, one thing I want to know is, does H95 supports passive audio with USB-C - USB-A connection? I see a lot of mixed and vague answers on this topic!
I did and I loved them. I wound up returning due to my own issues with over ear headphones. Sometimes they just do not feel comfortable. That said, I never tried a wired connection. If you get them, get a deal. They're not worth full price. Call B&O. They're very responsive on the phone. Maybe they can help.

I just returned mine. Sounded quite good, not excellent though. Features were great except the static noise when turning on and off ANC, Transparency mode was good, not great. Zoom, Teams and Phone calls were fantastic, but no multi-point yet and I hated short tips. No matter what size I tried I felt like my ears were being stuffed. Being able to use them independently in mono mode was a huge plus for me. background noise cancellation was also excellent as is the app. The battery life also seemed a little short to me, I think I got 4-6 hours max out of them, but don't take my word on that. I may pick them up again when the price drops about $70-80. For now i'll stick with my 75 and 85t's. Personally the 85ts while they are much bulkier are more comfortable for me. I wear them all day for work.
Been a while since I've seen you in this thread.. What's currently in your rotation and which one are you enjoying the most?

Based on the review that I have posted here it seems like the sound is still balanced but somewhat lean and missing some oomph and ANC is weak but take it with a grain of salt.
Ya Tommy I will wait for some reputable audiophile type sites review them. Not tech sites either... I read that and thought there is multiple reasons why it may sound that way...tips, insertion, etc etc. I am looking forward to checking these out and I cannot imagine Technics would downgrade the SQ or ANC.

I saw this set on Amazon. I was trying to find reviews. I settled for Japanese YouTube reviews lol. I had to keep translating to see what anyone thought of them.. Ha. Ya I didn't learn much except that maybe these sound slightly better than a previous set by the company

Warm and not so clear on the sound??? Didn't they promise audiophile sound? They have no other features except playing sound and taking calls.

Third version of the triple hybrid for Aviot. Those on Amazon would be the last version which was a bit better than the first version.

Not sure if a search will show it but someone in this thread bought the first version and really liked the sound.

Whoa, 7hrs battery life.. I wonder if that's with LDAC on or off. The review isn't clear.
Listed 7 hours is AAC with ANC on.
