I'm still facing music swing from left to right and vice versa even with latest firmware. Sennheiser Momemtum 4 Wireless has no such issue

Also, it don't block high frequency sound very well with ANC on like train announcement, someone sitting beside you and talking over the phone etc. Seennheiser Momemtum 4 Wireless also don't block high frequency sound effectively. Wind blocking is as good as Sennheiser Momemtum 4 Wireless. It also blocks wind automatically whilst the Sennheiser needs to enable the Anti-Wind feature.

Just got these through Moneysmart credit card promotion. Comparing to the WH, the experience is different with a more detailed presentation of the music , which I understand is typical of in ears.

An interesting observation is that I see more WH than WF on the mrt. In fact, since I started noticing, have not seen a single WF. Guess its priced too high, and ppl rather fork out more and get the WH?

Those who like it loud will usually buy the wh. Those who want more compact, lighter and reserved will get the wf loh ~

For me, I did not consider WH is because of the heat on the ears when moving about.

New firmware 4.0.2 for Sony wf-xm5 just released today. Sound quality seems to be improved, clearer sound and improved soundstage.

Observed something with this new firmware. I'm using their default music player and pressed play when my earbuds are connected and surprised they continued the last played songs!

Will try again see if it is real.

Quick question: I lost my right side earbud

If I were to buy the right side from some dude from Carousell, would it work and pair properly with my left side? :spin:
