Just got the kz aptx HD cable and pair with senfer 4in1.. Shiok.. Much much better SQ compared to older 4.2 cable.

So what's different between qcc and csr chip?

The csr8675 and qcc3040.. Both support aptx HD.. But now market mostly is qcc302x. Non aptx only

eh.. if not wrong csr is their single chip lineup. like those neckbuds, since only need 1 chip. qcc is for those true wireless? Not entirely sure also. lol.

Hi guys, any recommendations for true wireless earbuds for daily use? Currently I only listen to the radio on my daily commute to work and home. Have been using Jaybird Freedom 2 for close to 2 years now, battery life getting weaker so thinking to change.

If want good sound quality and got more budget, creative outlier air and above like jabra elite 65t? or sony wf-1000xm3 since daily commute ANC might be nice to have? haha.

If don't want spend as much, then options like Mpow m5, mifo o5, sabbat e12, all quite popular also?

haha. that one have to think think a bit. Nowadays i'm using wireless earbuds only for jogging, and going back to wired for normal use. Let's see if 10.10 or 11.11 got any good promo first. if not maybe wait till next version. haha

I've been using it with my pixel again on Aptx-HD for the past 30 mins. just happened again. And toggled the aptx-hd off the song went back to normal again.Maybe it's an issue with aptx-hd. But no idea if it's specific to the phone or it's the BT cable though. Also i'm running Android 10 too. But regular aptx seems fine with my Samsung. Used it for about an hour or so without that issue. Need to find another phone that support aptx-hd to test. haha. On Pixel I can't change it to normal aptx, it just sticks to apt-hd. haha

there is still some latency, but much better than true wireless options for sure, especially for gaming. videos is fine since the app will try to sync audio and video up, and it does a slightly better job than true wireless options too.

What is a BT cable? I thought BT cable is air?

I haven't listened to the Sony but I've listened to the momentums. Their SQ is my end goal. As for Sony, I don't really like the design.

Got the JBL reflect flow. One thing for sure, I preferred it over my Sony WF1000XM3!

The connection for JBL is much stable and consistent in a way that if I paused my music and do something else, after 10 mins, I can continue playing the music. For Sony, the connection will be somewhat lost. I press the play, the music is silently playing but no sound coming from the Sony. I had to replace the earbud back into the case and take it out again to connect. So, in term of connection, JBL is very rock solid.

JBL used physical button which I preferred as well, just a light push will do. For sound wise, Sony might edge a bit in terms of lows but JBL produced slightly solid base.

One thing to take note is JBL is not dual Bluetooth connection, hence the master side is the right side and left is the slave. I need to power on using right and left will auto connect. But this does give me an advantage. When answering calls, I took out my right side and place it near my mouth when in super noisy environment. This is because the master is on the right, hence the mic is active on the master side and by placing the mic next to my mouth, of course the other party can hear my voice super loud and clear. No background sound also.

Above is what I tested when I got it just now. Its all base on individual preferences.

Feel that Sony is over rated cause of the ANC. At first it feels comfortable but start to get uncomfortable after a few hours. Only positive would be more punchy and vol is louder than mtw.

After comparing it to the JBL that I gotten today, I feel I "overpaid" my XM3.. Really overpriced.. :slant:
