As with the buds, you’ll need a phone running Android 13 or later, and dynamic head tracking only works with compatible video apps.

All I want is to be able to MANUALLY switch betweeny conncected multipoint inputs. It's infuriating that this isn't possible.

[–] Bolleeer@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't that possible in the app? I've changed it manually multiple times with the wf-1000xm4s

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's say I have two connectione, one to my TV and one to my phone. There is afaik no way to manually tell the app/the headphones which input to use without disconnecting from one of the sources.

[–] And009@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I have the xm4 ear buds, I can goto my Bluetooth device list and select it from any device. It'll switch to the device without any hassle.

It also supports two device but that's not a good experience.

My xm3 headphones have a single connection issue, but I mostly avoid it using my phone NFC. It prioritizes the NFC contact over any other Bluetooth device. And disconnecting is also just a tap away, easier than going into menus.

So, like, this only works when you watch videos on your phone? Who wants immersive audio on a six inch screen?

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Better still, Sony is no longer making WH-1000XM5 owners choose between multipoint and LDAC

No WH-1000XM4? :(

[–] shockwave@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

But still no way to mute the microphone from the headset!

Sony is a shit company with long track record of treating their customers like garbage.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Would you mind elaborating? Are we talking in the headphones space or more generally?

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

More generally. Their terrible reaction to the psn hack, following hacks, bad security, worse PR, PI leaks, denial and retaliatory behavior were a discussing thing to follow and a warning to stay away from the whole corp. They show no sign of care about their clients and no morality.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago

Ah! Yeah they've got some baggage. Headphones and mirrorless cameras are probably the only product categories I'd consider from them these days.

[–] And009@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unfortunately they're the only consumer brand that balances good audio and tech

Customer support can be much better, their live chat is essentially a hoax
