Just can't get these bloody things to stay in my ear, I've tried InAir, Comply Foam, SpinFit CP360 but they fall out easily, especially with the right ear but that's probably just my physiology. Anyone got any suggestions or something I should revisit?

Snugs uk (as you don't say where you are) do custom tips with images sent via your smartphone so you don't need an audiologist appointment?

FWIW: Think you’re in the wrong thread. This is the over ear WH1000XM3......(the in ears are WF1000XM3)

Realised that after I posted to his question! Wish they would come up with better naming systems!

Prelim review says it's basically the same as the 3 except with better mics and multi-pair (although that comes with its own limitations currently.)

I did see a few weeks back the 4's won't have aptx-HD support.

I am super out of date on this, but my understanding was that Sony's LDAC outperformed it. As an Android and Windows user, is that relevant for me?

I've not used an LDAC supported device before, thought only Sony devices supported it, but I see my LGV30 has LDAC as an option in the codecs... I guess if your Android device supports it, then it's not an issue for you.
Obviously with LDAC, it removes EQ adjustment.

My Xiaomi Mi9T has LDAC, used it with some fiio devices. its nice. i think its supported on most modern android qualcomm devices.

Glad to hear it, and truly when you find the right attenuation levels I think that you will hear that the XM3 is actually quite good. I have no idea why Sony cooked the bass to some stupid teenager idea of what bass should be. Thankfully, the driver seems well done as is the enclosure which means once the adjustment is made the driver is liberated from the terrible stock tuning. Seriously Sony, no idea how any company could think that the stock tuning was anything but wretched. I would fire the managers that signed off on that for sure. When I first purchased the XM3 I was ready to send it back to Amazon but decided to try equalization as I loved the comfort and felt that the build, fit and finish was quite good so I wanted to give it a chance. Pretty happy that I did. I hope that you continue to experiment until you find your perfect tuning with the XM3.

I felt the same way when I got them. After I adjusted the EQ on the iPhone app to lower the bass they were very good...better than Bose by a longshot.

As long as you have the latest Android version installed in your phone, all should supports LDAC.

Did anyone update to 4.5.2 on the WH1000XM3?

I think they sound better now! There is less of that extra boomy bass and more clear highs and better soundstage.
