Depennds on your taste and preferences. You can do better for electronic music, dance, hip-hop etc.

They are hard to beat for vocals and music that is just recordings of instruments played in a space.

Happens to me too...but I need to be able to see

Fortunately once the headphones settle in on my head they don't rub much. Definitely jarring at first.

I think it's worse with my plastic framed glasses than it was with thinner metal frames.

I'm addition to all the above, wireless are built to be obsolete, to be replaced.woth next year's model. Not saying they are built to break, but maybe on a good world set they use a pivot that they expect to last 10 years, but on wireless they use a cheaper one they expect to last 3 years. Some won't last 3 years even if most will....and that leads to drama on Reddit.

Wireless is also designed to be lighter which may not be as strong.

Just seems like wireless is not designed to last as long.

To small to be reliable is probably true to an extent. But ive had Samsung buds for years with no issues. Some brands seem to have more problems than others.

2 years is a fast release cycle in my mind, and battery issues did not become widespread until a year or so after the product was launched. That was my point. And by that point they probably already knew what they were doing with the XM5 to the point it may be difficult to change.

It's a pretty well known issue with the WF-1000XM4.

Unfortunately it took some time to be discovered and it's probably too soon in the WF-1000XM5s product lifespan olto know if it's a widespread issue or not. That's kind of an unfortunate byproduct of the rapid release cycle of BT headphones. The XM5 was probably mostly designed by the time the XM4 issues were discovered.

Ive not heard of any abnormal battery issues with the WH series

No. I don't go above 96KHz sample rates because I use optical connections in my setup and some gear doesn't support more than 96KHz via optical (while some does).

I had some 192Khz files for a while, and had foobar down sample to 96 while playing if I was using components that didnt play it, but decided that it just wasn't worth the storage and hassle, so it all got converted to 96 KHz.

I need to do this.....I could easily let go of half of what I have and never miss it.

Just sounds like a lot of work.

I don't notice the weight as much as the size. It is quite the apparatus places on your head.

The weight is probably going to be experienced differently by a person who is 150 lb and a person who is 225 lb as well.

Tone boosters Morphit EQ probably has a preset for this. Kinda fun to play with, but EQ can only take you so far.

Yeah it is really bad at first, but seems to settle down after a couple minutes too.

The velour pads on the hd600 did the same with mine, but not as bad. Glasses and headphones just kinda suck together sometimes. I do enjoy being able to see a lot of the time though.
