What phone model you guys're using? I am using S8+ with my WI-1000x. Currently running bluetooth with aptX only. Hope that next year Oreo update will bring in aptx HD supports. If no than have to consider changing phone to Sony Zx series to get the LDAC supports.

Btw good news, apparently LDAC codec in OP3T Oreo ROM is working
Just now I try my luck to find 1000XM2 but instead of that i found 1ABT, since that one is also LDAC capable so I tried that
Guess what, the Bluetooth codec show in developer settings is show wrong
aptx and aptxHD doesn't included inside the ROM, but LDAC does loaded (see the logcat I captured)

This indicated aptx and aptxHD lib does missing inside OP Oreo ROM

While this shows LDAC is working properly

Thanks for your research into this matter, I would've never find out myself because I don't know anything about coding.
What a bug, perhaps you might want to post in their forum to tell them too hehe.
Thanks again.

Hmm,

Just bought my WH1000XM2 from Sony Curve and staff told me that the headband cracking issue is not covered under the warranty. Bummer.

This issue is so widespread, if your unit is really having same issue (touch wood), you must complaint gao gao to Sony customer service to get it fixed!

This is the reason I decided not to get WH1000XM2, I just ordered B&O H9 and waiting for stock to arrive in Dec.

Nice find. Thanks for the info.

maybe majority of sony user are prefer wireless headphones, yet i am waiting for the MDR-1AM2. hope the MDR-1AM2 is worth to spent

New MDR-XB550AP user reporting in.

I still have the old MDR-1 and I'm sure you won't regret the purchase. The SQ better than those Sony wireless cans, it is also more comfy too for extended use, except for sleeping with it.

Hello Sony Fegs

I just got my DAP
NW-ZX300

Now all I need to do is to recable to 4.4mm to make full use of it!

I saw EX1000 (new) selling in sony store taiwan.
Tempting sial.

How much was it converted to RM?

It's a gem. Sony no longer makes IEM sounded so crisp. MDR-Z1R was close though, but price is crazy too.

EX1000 is 16000ntd (RM2100) and EX600 is 6000ntd (RM800).
So damn expensive and cannot try somemore. I'm curious how EX600 sounds compared to EX1000.

If I remember correctly, back then at Sony Centre (The Curve), I was testing EX300 initially. RM300+, crazy price. Then there was EX600 beside, just give it a shot as well. Not far away, but placed in its own corner was the EX1000. I tested it without looking at the price first. I got hooked. Though lacking in bass, but sounded really awesome.

Later found out it was crazy expensive at RM1500. But I still gotta have it, cause it sounded out of this world.

Never regretted the purchase.

There was once Amazon sold it for around RM790. I shared the news around, nobody wants it. Too bad.

I just checked Lazada, it was going for at least 2k. But this is a phased out model.

EX600 ok or not? EX1000 darn expensive lah.

I tested EX600, then EX1000 and went with EX1000 despite double the price. You say leh?

Before that I was only using EX90, quite bassy.

If you're into bass, EX1000 will not suite you.

Perhaps this would help you with your decision.

Sony still makes them today, but only sold in Japan (and apparently Taiwan as well). That’s why in Japan, there are still companies that make EX1000 upgrade cables terminated in the new 4.4 balanced connector for their new WM1x Walkman models, thought that was pretty neat, classic + modern gen

I didn't know this IEM is still alive!

But it's truly a gem. None of the current XBA or those fancy hybrid drivers line up could truthfully compete against this, in term of sound clarity.

i know still got sell.
Xba line cant touch this ex1000 got super big driver
