not a fan of bluetooth though I've only tried cx150s, wired are cheaper and I already have a set of headphones for it. I've seen some comments say the wired connection sound quality is better than bluetooth but then I know little about it having not much experience.
Main reason I got this setup was for watching films or tv in bed

LDAC fixes this problem.

Hell even SBC sounds great, just depends on the how well they've tuned them.

Interesting! I'll have to read up on that. Can I play flacs without loss of quality over Bluetooth then?

990Kbps is the bitrate LDAC can handle. Very close to CD quality. Give it a go and see what you think.

However the speaker tuning is what makes the most difference to SQ.

My problem with Bluetooth is the blips as it switches between listening and handsfree/headset mode.

Physically active gents, I have found a game changer for trousers that are super light, yet stretchy and comfortable at the same time which can be worn as casual trousers too. Been looking for something for MTBing as well as Calisthenics and these are absolutely perfect.

Classic slacks got 'ur back. A simple pair of plain trousers are essential to every guy's wardrobe. Grab 'em in a few neutral shades. Black, navy and beige men's cotton trousers are always a strong choice.

That's mesmerising.

A trip to Berlin.... Still here a couple more nights

I was impressed by this photo with absolutely zero effort and 2second flick on my pixel 6. Looks nicer than actually was

Decided to go research the LDAC stuff and I'll pass ^^. It is of lower quality, not guaranteed to stay at 990 and averages around 660. I know it's an old article but I found it quite informative https://www.soundguys.com/ldac-ultimate-bluetooth-guide-20026/
Looked for a 2022 opinion and they seem to say the same things. I went through the effort of making my entire music collection flac with high dynamic range so I may aswell stick to wired to get the full effect. On my PC I'm used to my beyerdynamic dt880s so I'll probably be able to tell the difference.

Love Berlin.

I did the same last December, phone was quite new then and the camera hadn't really wowed me yet but then I kept staring at this quite a bit.

His and hers fans after @mrk review.

Also out with the old, in with the new. The DXRacer finally succumbed to 8 years of my fat arse for countless hours a day. My chair now matches the wifes.

There's a joke in there about 4 fingers and 2 fingers but I just can't get it to come out right

Bluetooth codec is only 1 part of SQ chain. Does your phone have enough juice to properly drive full size cans. Is the DAC in the phone even high quality.

These days I go my my ears and only use the numbers as a guide.

The last time I went I saw a girl in a gimp suit being walked as a dog down the street. Pretty odd place.

Or go to Berghain, the queue is worth it alone.

Bought a bunch of keyboard switches and a tester to try out the difference. Makes a nice fidget toy actually.
