I’ve been wearing the same Sony plugs for 6 years now. Latency and quality is fine over short distances, and over long distances (something wired can’t do…) the LC3 codec does a fantastic job keeping the signal and quality
I feel like you and I inhabit different universes
Oh no doubt, and this is definitely an audiophile’s phone. I just hope the benefit of the slight gains in quality outweigh the (imo) massive hassle of having the phone tethered to body.
My buds are sony wf-1000x3, been using them for years. Charge them once a day, use them pretty much all the time, no issues.
