Thanks!
Looks like my unit falls within this range...

Mine too.. now crossing fingers and hope that it will endure the time. I payed for the extra assurance in fnac for 3 years repair warranty in order to assure any future repair. Let's see what will happen.

Is there a notification bar in Oreo that shows me what BT Codec is being used?

works normal on my site, might be your headphone or phone in particular. I use the same phone and headphone and it works normal.

Are you sure you have Aptx HD working on One plus 5 and 1000x M2? I have tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. Edit: I'm using extreme quality in Spotify of course, but all audio output will stutter with Aptx HD.

No, you have to enable developer mode and check manually. (At least on my Nexus 5x)

I don't have a solution for you, but I wanted to mention that standard Bluetooth (even without AptX) has a bitrate of up to 320kbps, and this is also the bitrate of Spotify Extreme Quality (not a coincidence). AptX HD many benefit a lossless source such as FLAC or Tidal HiFi, but wouldn't improve Spotify.

Does 1000X comes with support for AptX HD or we are talking here about the new version 1000Xm2?

Only the new version supports AptX HD, but both versions support LDAC, which is actually better than AptX HD in the first place.

Is there any chance that the 1000Xm2 will be able to connect simultaneously to two devices and move between them smoothly like QC35, i hardly can believe that a new firmware won't be able to add this functionality !!!

Will the 1000xm2 get firmware updates? I don't own it or the previous model, but thought I'd read somewhere that they are not user upgradable.

It doesn't, I own it and I've tried.

It can get updates through the headphones connect app. I am not sure if Sony is planning on releasing any though.

I have 8 days left to return the 1000x I got it at $228.00 is the improvements make up for the difference? Also are the M2 better in terms of of comfort?

well worth the extra cash.

 

[davidmthekidd]

has anyone here tried the 1000xM2 wired?? quite a difference in my opinion, the sound Resolution is expanded to 4Hz-40Khz just by turning them on and pluging the wire.

Understand that 5 offers nothing. In fact 4 offers nothing and is simply supported because they bought a bluetooth 4.1 chip since people would question why headphones made today are still using 3.0 and 2.0 chips. Audio transmission and controls are still handled by the same profiles introduced in bluetooth 2 and 3. Many of the higher bit rate transfer modes were never required and thus never used in 3.0/4.0, and highly touted features like Low Energy modes in 4.0 and the high speed/increased range modes in 5.0 have nothing to do with the audio profiles headphones use. Low Energy (LE) and Enhanced ranged are specifically for low bitrate profiles designed with sensor relay and device controls in mind. Faster data transfers is useful for raw file transfers between 2 5.0 capable devices, but the a2dp profiles, SBC, AptX, even sonys LDAC codecs have no way of taking advantage of it because of "standards".

We need a new set of audio profiles, maybe in 5.1? Not enough audiophiles on the bluetooth committee!

APTX-HD and LDAC is all you need, no need for Bluetooth 5 with such codecs.

Can I trouble you with one more request? When wired and turned on, is the headphone Bluetooth connection still discoverable on a cellphone?

When wired, bluetooth is turned off, only NC and the DSP are turned on, sound quality is top notch when wired and ON. 4Hz-40Khz Hi-Res.
