Expensive but worth it
1 of 1 found this helpful + Ldac codec supported
+ Pairs instantly with Bluetooth 5.0
+ mmcx connector
+ battery life actually is getting 7.5 hours as stated in the box
+ paired with my Weston W80 series IEMS it is just awesome.
+ Wire is long enough to route behind ears comfortably
+ Has decent nylon carrying bag for storage
+ No alert or annoying beep when battery is low like some headsets, it will notify you upon startup is the battery is low- although I'm not exactly sure what it considers low yet.
- pretty expensive compared to other headsets, but it is the only name brand that supports Ldac
- still uses micro USB when all my devices are now USB-C
- no charging block for the USB cable (not a big deal to me but maybe for since)
- not available in Sony North America, must acquire from Asian markets or Ebay
- not 100% sure but I don't think the manufactures warranty is valid unless you live in Japan so be careful
Make sure your device can support Ldac so you can get the most from this device. Most Android 8.0 devices can support Ldac (I use a Samsung note 8) but it isn't a default setting. Look up "developer options" on Google for more info on that.
If you use an iPhone don't waste your money because you can't support Ldac.
