I gotta say the XM4 has overall better SQ vs APP1/APP2. But it just doesn't fit my ears. I tried the XM4 with multiple sized spinfit eartips in ConnectIT. It just feels heavy & gonna drop anytime if i start running :ROFLMAO: (It's just me).

But I am a big fan of their WH-1000X series headphone s tho. :D
I own a Wh xm4 headphones but seldom use it and dun really like it, plus the ear pad smells and feel sticky when u sweat. With APM, i can just wash the foam ear pads easily and smells great again.

Sony's protein leather pads are meant to give you a better seal for ANC.

But I gotta agree that they get sticky when you sweat. But they can be cleaned easily, just use some wipes haha. Whereas fabric/suede pads cannot really wash haha! I recently tried to wash my Sennheiser HD600 suede pads & the water was black when I rinse it with soap, end up I just threw it out & ordered aftermarket one from Shopee :ROFLMAO:

I'm not a headphones person though. I agree the WF-1000XM4 is overall better SQ, but 360 reality audio isn't comparable to spatial audio. Listening on Tidal Hifi+ on my WF-1000XM$ with LDAC on, on my Flip3 is dope, and that's the only reason why I subscribed to Tidal. :ROFLMAO:

Same bro! My APP1 also has 3 years old charging case, but pods replaced by QCD last Oct 2021 due to static sound issue.

Sold it off when I placed order for APP2. 10/10 worth it no regrets!

My first gen APP isn't so new, bought another set when MagSafe feature was out and earbuds replaced once due to the static issues also. Prior to that, the charging case was since launch day and earbuds replaced 3 times, that set has since been sold off.

Ok lah better get back to topic.

Nice!

My headphones also doesn't get much air time. I use bookshelf speakers at home. While APP2 when I'm at office or commuting.

Never used Tidal before tho. Was once old school & use audiophile DAP's & cabled iems. Had to manually download & transfer songs. After that hopped to spotify for a few years & unsubscribed. Now using YouTube Music & QQMusic :ROFLMAO:

Ok. Lets get back to topic! Haha! :LOL:

I pre-ordered too.

Oh you ordered Titanium Black? It should arrive quicker than the Silver one.

Did you made full payment? Cuz i think Nomad had recently announce price increase due to "supply chain & material shortage" AKA Increase in demand due to AWU, so time to make it rain 💵 🤣

So it's very likely casefactorie will ask for Topup from the current listed price on their site, upon stock arrival.
May I ask where you pre-order yours? been looking at this and dont really feel good to pay in full when the delivery is somewhere March next year.

Casefactorie

If you don't feel good paying in full then you can join their waiting list. But most likely they will only contact you once they cleared their preorders that are paid in full.

Since there is a high demand, I think the prices may shoot up. If it is near the price of Apple Link bracklet, I think I may cancel and ask for refund.

My gen 1 is still completely usable too, but I upgraded anyway.
Yes everything is usable like my APP 1, Watch Series 7 SS and iPhone 13 Pro Max. But I upgraded everything last month. Still eating grass right now 😢

I'm prepared to topup already.

I won't take Apple's Steel Link Band as benchmark tbh. It's stainless steel. :ROFLMAO:

Edit: Since Nomad announced that they increasing price of the said bands by USD$50, I would take that as a safe gauge on how much we are expecting to top-up.
