You can turn them off in the Smartphone app but you can only turn them on again by putting them in the case and taking them out again. None of the TWS in ears I’ve tried or owned have had on/off functionality actually in the earpieces

You can turn it off in the Sony connect app. But just moving it around a little turns it back on. It’s qquite pointless and I get his point. They’re not designed to be turned off as a slight movement turns them back on. You don’t need to put them in the case to turn it back on.

I didn’t know that movement turn them back on. I always put them in the case when I’m not listening so it is a non issue for me

it's not movement that turns it back on, but the proximity sensor on the inner side of the earpiece

I mean how is that any different from putting a finer over the sensor?

Still was not aware of that but just tried and that is indeed what happens as soon as something comes near the sensor (also a finger) they turn back on. Still no problem for me as I always put them in the case when not listening

i really like that feature when using it around the house,because i often just lay it out on the table when I'm taking a break listening to music, and just do other things. it will conserve batteries, and would just conveniently turn back on when i put it on again.

it does would present a trouble for putting it in the pocket similar to @greenkomodo1 scenario.
speaking of which, i just tried this:
- i put the earpieces in my pocket first, then i turn it off from the app.
- as long as i don't touch the touchpad, it would not turn on by itself. the proximity sensor also would not trigger even if i reach in my pocket to touch it.
- it would automatically turn on again if the touchpad is touched, or when i put it out of my pocket to my ears.
- for more security, you can also put it inside a pouch first, then put it in your pocket to reduce chances of it turn on by itself

I actually purchased my own unit back-end of 2019 and thought it worthy enough for a full review It is still a benchmark for me despite some newer competitors having some interesting features.

Picked up a pair from Best Buy this morning for $179. I'm impressed. They sound as good as my Lypertek Tevi's, but have more features like ANC and ambient sound.

Yep, they are still a favorite of mine, sound-wise.

For my ears, these settings get close to Harman target.

That looks a bit extreme to me. They already kind of follow the Harman target with the default sound.

Here is what I'm doing, along with Comply foam tips.

I pretty certain that Sony does not tune any of their headphones or earphones to Harman target. I'm a big fan of Sony products and have been so for years. The Sony house sound is quite distinctly not Harman. I could be wrong, so I'll defer to others.

Tried to hunt down the graph I made, but I didn't save it.

Oratory1990 over on reddit graphed them, and they aren't too far off the Harman target in the mids and highs.

I just bought a "renewed" pair from Amazon. They sound amazing with my Note 10+. Decided to pair them to my NW-ZX300 and they sound even better than with the phone. Yay!

Today my right earpiece is no longer able to work on its own. I can connect L+R and L without problems, but the right one cannot work on its own. I have tried re-pairing, restarting my phone and uninstalling app. Any other ideas?
