  can anyone confirm whether they do or don't support apt x?

Old review by Sir Joe a.k.a Giogio:

I don't know if version 2.0 is different or not.

Hi Giogio, 
 
Can you please review Bose QC 35 and Sony 1ABT? Right now they're the only two pairs that can fit my ears.
 
(I've tried ABN100 but unfortunately its ear pads are too small and not replaceable. And its ANC broke within a week)
 
QC35 is definitely more portable than 1ABT, and have more feature like ANC. On the other hand 1ABT has overall better review about sound quality. I'd like to hear from your professional opinion before making decision.
 
I often listen to movie soundtrack like :

And this kind of music (Don't know what this genre call...)

I've been listening with my QC35 for over 4 hours. No drops. Paired with a Nexus 6P.

Have you paired it to more than just one device at one time? That's where some have reported drop outs

 

[sabesh]

Ah, I see. Nope, haven't tried pairing to multiple devices. No need for me. Cheers.

Everyone has gone back to wired headphones.

Maybe there's a lull in new bluetooth headphones to be released?....I know I'm still waiting for some new Fidelio's....preferably over ear!

Maybe waiting to see what BT 5 brings

Waiting to hear how the new Sennheiser PXC 550 compares to the Momentum wireless and the Bose.

Just picked up a pair of AKG Y50BT from Amazon Prime Day for £79, so will see what they're like.  I can't justify the Beoplay H8, so hopefully the AKG will be fine.  Not seen much of the AKG on here to be honest, so taking a mild risk.

Oooooooooh, these have quite a good bass to them. Listening to Eric Prydz, huge smile on my face!!

It is an interesting time to buy Bluetooth headphones especially if one is waiting for the best technology.
Bluetooth 5.0 was announced in June 2016 and it will take some time before 5.0 headphones are released, most probably after the first 5.0 mobile phones (maybe iPhone 7 and next flagship Samsung Phones later this year). However BT 5.0 may not deliver better audio, but certainly will have greater range and is also set for iOT INTERNET OF THINGS, such as next generation smart home hubs where Bluetooth and wifi talk to each other. BT 5.0 range is expected to be upto 4 times greater (wow). Bose informed me that the audio quality will not improve "Bose UK Technical a staff".

For better audio quality AptX HD is coming which will be an improvement over current Aptx (380 kbps - about cd quality). You can go to AptX website to see the details. The new AptX HD will do this at 24 bit - so forget wires. Actually may sound better than most wired headphones as the audio quality from wired headphones is limited to the wire quality. i.e, silver dragons for HD650's are known to improve audio sound depending on individual opinions ofcourse.

Maybe Apple will improve on AAC.

BY THE WAY ON A MAC YOU CAN SET AAC BIT RATE MANUALLY VIA THE BLUETOOTH EXPLORER TOOL AND TO ME IT SOUNDS AS GOOD AS CURRENT APTX. I EXPERIMENTED AND COULD NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APTX AND HIGH BIT RATE AAC ON THE APPLE IMAC COMPUTER.

Shoot, was that UK only? I don't recall seeing them on Amazon US yesterday.

Hi All,

Does anyone have I good advice for a pair of on ears, used mainly in the gym and at home with a max of € 150,- ?
There is so much available, but don't know what's good

Spotted a nice deal for a pair of Harman Kardon Soho, but it seems they do not have a tight fit...
