New Head-Fier
Does anyone use these for wireless TV watching? I use the Sony sometimes but occasional get lip sync issues. My understanding is these would be better for that but looking for some experience
Honestly for the same amount of money, even if you don't game, the Audeze Maxwell is worth a serious look as a replacement if you don't have a warranty claim. i think they have better tonality and the default balanced eq audeze created is really well done. If you wanted to make adjustments you could, and you can store 4 eqs in the headphones themselves and toggle between them. i've been pleasantly surprised by them. They are not bass monsters by default, so any eq you might make to get a similar sound to the Aonic50 I don't imagine would be to drastic.Sad to say my bluetooth in these just died. This unit was a replacement for a model where the pads had detached, so I've had it less than 6 months. I noticed my sound went from fine to constant stutter if I turned my head with the usb cable charging. 1 day later and now wont connect at all and if I forget device it doesn't show up in the bluetooth device list on my phone or PC. Bitter that they're probably out of warranty and I'll be out $300 if I want to replace. Are there any viable alternatives? I love the sound quality/signature, environment mode/ANC switch and being able to use them cabled as well as wirelessly.
Also on the Shure page now:
APTX LL was dropped after adaptive was introduced. adaptive is supposed to be the balance between audio quality, stable connectivity and keeping video and audio synced.The Shure website says these support "aptX™, aptX™ HD, aptX™ Adaptive, AAC, SBC and Sony LDAC." Looks like aptX-LL was dropped, but one web review says it still has that codec; I sent an inquiry to Shure. My Aonic 50 are sitting with my TV because they have LL, which is the only context with which I use them these days.
I think adaptive was meant to try and bring the best of APTX HD and APTX LL in to one codec. It has a lower bitrate than APTX HD, 576 KBPS to 420 iirc, and I believe APTX LL has latency of 32MS to something like 80 for adaptive.My understanding is that the latency in adaptive isn't as low as LL.
