Yesterday, I made the pre-purchase but after your comments saying that they are quite dark, I have canceled them. After returning the WF1000XM3 for battery issues, I needed some BT headphones, but I think I'll wait.

Noble Falcon Pro sound good. No ANC, but good passive isolation. Do offer ambient mode, Aac and aptx. I bought them a few months ago, enjoy very much for tws, but also like having different iems. Thinking about picking these up cuz I can't fight it, lol. Will use mainly with my zx507 when I'm moving around, just like my Falcon Pro

LDAC with my A55 could potentially be brilliant. Should get mine mid/end next week, don’t get released in Denmark until the 15th

Been using for about a day and they work great. I was considering the B&W PI7s but these seem to be a better open with LDAC. On my phone I also go into developer settings and set priority on quality on android. You have to do each time it connects otherwise it choses best effort (adaptive bit rate). As previously mentioned for portable wireless this is the best option at the moment.

Use the Sony App and it wills stick to that setting.

* the famed "Hi-Fi Quad DAC" is OFF when the output is going to Bluetooth. The normal method of invoking the full capabilities of the DAC is to plug in some high-impedance headphones, but when you do that, it stops the Bluetooth. I don't know if there will be a work-around for that. Still sounds very good with the presumably gimped Low-Fi DAC.

The phone's DAC is inactive while transmiting via Bluetooth because the signal has to be digital. After DAC conversion it becomes analogue and is no longer possible to stream wirelessly. The TWS' internal DAC is used.

Due to feedback loop problems (a big no no) and a really crappy app (copeable) I would avoid those.

Has anyone tested out the mic for calls yet?

Supposedly not fantastic but a good deal better than XM3

Question for folks who are using LDAC Codec. As I understand it, LDAC is 96KHz / 24bit. Is that correct? This morning, when I went into my developer settings on my LG v30 I see I am utilizing LDAC, with 96KHz / 32bit. Anyone else see this? Any issue with this?

So WikiPedia says that LDAC supports uptimes to 96k/32bit.

In Android you will see it as 32/96, I am not sure if that is due to Dithering going by looking in PowerAmps setting.

I looked on Amazon & they are on pre order with delivery on the 16th June. I thought they would be here Friday if pre ordered.
