No I have not noticed.
But, I’ve noticed that Im running SBC mainly now instead of AAC.
Running iphone X, latest ios version.
Strange, to bad you cant force iphone to use AAC, not that I know of anyway.

Running Spotify, where I put soundquality to max.

My iPhone XR is still on AAC after the latest update. Apple Music in my case.

How do you see that you are on sbc, I assumed that iOS devices would default to aac if the BT device supported it ?

The sony headphone app states SBC

Ah, I had never seen the codec up there. I’m on an iPhone8 with latest iOS version and latest Sony app and fw version and I’m on aac

 

[qmicsen]

It used to look like that for me also.
But now SBC instead of AAC, have no idea why

 

[qmicsen]

Anyone noticed the ANC got worse after the last update?

Actually yes.
I noticed now that I hear call outs/beeps on bus more then before.

I have to power-up volume a notch or two.

Something else, is it possible to power on iem when in ear if powered them off while in ear?
I powered them off by misstake while had them in ear, tried tap but didnt work.
Had to take them out.

In the Sony app, is sound priority still selected rather than connection stability?

I just wanted to verify that turning on the DSEE-HX nearly doubled my battery play time. I got 5.5 hours out of my “bad” pair on a plane trip earlier in the week. Since the improvement in sound quality with DSEE-HX is unnoticeable on a plane trip and since I’m more interested in reducing the number of times the unit needs to be recharged to maximize its lifetime, I’ve disabled this feature.

I assume you mean turning DSEE-HX off increases battery time ?

Yes, sound is priority

Here's hoping there'll be a black Friday offering in the UK...

The new upgrade is awesome:

Adds the ability to adjust the volume using the headphones touch sensor
Adds the ability to check the battery level of the charging case using the Sony | Headphones Connect app

 

[webvan]

What's the tapping sequence to adjust the volume ?

Thanks ipodhappy for the great information.
