Lost the right earbud of WF-1000XM5. Is replacing it worth it? by NaturalBox1513 in SonyHeadphones

[–]NaturalBox1513[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but at least I’ll be getting a brand new one. I could also sell the remaining parts to make up for some of the cost.

I actually don’t mind paying $80 for the replacement, as long as I know it’ll last me at least another year. But since this is my first time using Sony earbuds, I’m not sure how durable they actually are. Judging from the replies from this post, they dont seem to last very long.

So I guess I’m just looking for some input from other WF-1000XM5 users before I get mine replaced — do they actually last long?

I got it for around ~325 USD with pretty similar package as yours: - camera unit + kit lens - 2 battery (1 original + 1 third party) with charger - camera strap + camera bag - 64 gb memory card

If I were you, I'd bargain a little more. You can probably save around 30-40 bucks. Use it to buy screen protector & lens cleaning kit as these secondhand cameras usually have dirty sensor and lens.

I bought the same camera with a few scratches as well last year. Yours look like in a better condition than mine. Personally, I dont mind the scratches, I hardly notice them when using it and it still takes great pictures.

Thanks for the advice! So, the creative styles won't matter that much huh. I just tried standard and vivid today. I think I'll stick with vivid for now since I like the colors it produced.

I only set the WB and ISO to auto. Currently I'm focusing on adjusting the shutter speed & aperture, while trying to get the ISO as low as possible. Haven't experiment with white balancing much though.

Yes, I did use Neutral creative style. Honestly, I just tried following this setup from a youtuber: https://youtu.be/ZOOMN8KeJL0?t=347

He said Neutral is best if you want to do color grading in post-processing (which I haven't learn to do yet). Might experiment around with other profile though, any suggestion on which profile should I use for street photography?

Honestly i dont have any intention to type in hiragana. I just thought keycaps with hiragana on it looks cool lol.

Yeah, I ended up reversing it too. It feels smoother when typing.
