Should you buy the Sony WH-1000MX5? Answers to questions from my past self. in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

if you turn on the active noise cancellation and crank up the volume significantly, you do pick-up on a lot more detail and generally get a better sound profile

I feel the same way about the AirPods Max. They sound just OK until you turn the volume up, then the texture and detail reveals itself.

I owe you all an apology - especially the OP I attacked in c/headphones@hi-fi.community

I live an hour away from them. Would be nice if I could just drive it over.

How easy is the real RTC battery fix? (alien.top)
 

I'm pretty pissed off about the RTC battery situation. $1500+ for a laptop. A year of back and forth with support, sending them pictures, updating firmware and software, following their steps, answering the same questions repeatedly. Always on a FedEx quest for them. Meanwhile they knew it was a hardware flaw the entire time. They finally sent me a coin battery.

I know I'm not going to happy worrying about keeping the new RTC battery topped off, unlike every other laptop, but Framework will not perform the real fix for me, even if I pay them.

So I either sell this thing, or fix it myself.

I know how to solder, but am pretty hesitant to doing it on something like a motherboard. Anyone else in the same boat who did the repair themselves? Was it just one simple solder point that wasn't easy to screw up?

Am I stupid for spending 380 Euro on a new pair of Sony WH-1000XM5's in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
