It's slightly outdated, but seems like a good price for these earphones as JBHifi has the standard version for $329.
CamelCamelCamel.
The enclosures for the remote / battery is too close to the earbuds, poor design. Sony has a similar sports model and the many poor reviews on Sony AU mention the same thing.
how do they fall out? only when you're running?
I have a pair of Sony’s where the remote + battery enclosure is further down the wire, so they rest on either side of your neck. So there is slack between the remote and the earbuds.
When you have the remote too close up the wire, it is constantly pulling on the wire (the wire is always taught), therefore eventually it will be pulled out by the weight.
No LDAC. Bummer.
Since the LDAC codec is owned by Sony, you will rarely find LDAC in a product from a Sony brand competitor.
The Audeze Mobius was an anomaly IMO as they are marketed as ‘gaming headphones’ which is a category missing from Sony’s lineup. Sony and Audeze were somehow able to shake hands on this rare occasion, but I imagine you will only find the LDAC codec in more obscure or less popular high-end products (products which avoid conflict with Sony’s sales)
I ordered 1More triple driver bluetooth for $113.46 before leaving office, just checked to post here. Sorry, lightning deal has ended.
Seems a few more products with LDAC are coming out.
Regarding headphones though, I hear a new lineup of high-end Sony headphones with LDAC are coming.
FiiO also has LDAC support in some of their Digital audio players which I find kind of odd for Sony to agree to (Walkman).
Maybe Sony knows Walkman is dead in the water (slow sales).
$131 currently seems close enough in price, if you have prime for free shipping.
PlushToys I think OZA’s comment was directed to you, just in case you missed the notification.
The Shure se 112 bt are ok for running due to relatively deep insertion, and being able to use the clip to hold the bt and remove under the chin, tucked into your shirt. Appears for 70aud on special for time to time.
Anker soundbud curves are better due to the stylish over ear pieces, but considerably worse sound quality.
What’s the difference between this special edition and the regular Momentum Free / HD1 Free? Just the red buttons and shells?

I have had these and they sound amazing but they constantly fall out if you use them in the gym
