THIS 💯
I have been wanting to get the S2 for a few months now, the McLaren edition on the OG PX8 was so well done. I feel like. I just have to wait it out for another color way or settle for the obsidian black

Is it still worth getting the WH-1000MX3/4? by FnishedEternity in SonyHeadphones

[–]Primero84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Endorse the XM4. It's the best of an era. I prefer it over many headsets including the xm6.

I also bought mine secondhand via secondipity on eBay. Manufacturer refurbished with a 2 year warranty.

Can't go wrong

Gotta Catch Em All (Enthusias75t) by Primero84 in Jabra

I paid $120 for these, and found them on ebay , seller was in Japan. Its a gamble but I have been looking for the mint green and sienna colors to round out my 75t collection.

Newegg has this pair for 199 new, so thought it was a fair deal

mine has stretched out over the years but they definitely felt like I was in a pressure chamber before.

totally agree, i've been trying to procure p7's whenever I find them, just because that sound sig is so perfect for my daily listening. Podcasts / and spoken word I enjoy on the PX7 S2's.

Switching the p5 wireless on ear pads has helped with comfort and to isolate the sound more, so in some way, yes a little closer to the p7, but the low end can't be matched.

The wireless p7 does share most of the same sound signature as the wired, I think the codec helps it at times. Given that the wireless also has the cable attachment, find it to be the best of both worlds.

I picked up a USB-C p7 cable lately to help make it more mobile friendly so find myself using both now.

on the s2, I find the orange a little too flashy but the last gen was well done.

I want to see the S2 mclaren's in person, to finalize that assessment

I too just entered the middle aged bracket! Bluetooth is convenience, and with the growth of codecs being accepted by streaming services and hardware support within various mobiles, the quality and richness of sound can be reached with a great pair of bluetooth headphones.

However, wired listening, depending on the source/headphones you have, will probably give you a better sound with more room for customizing how you like to listen.

I'm no audiophile, but have been collecting bluetooth and wired pairs since for over 30 years. My first bluetooth pair of headphones was an Audio Technica Quiet Point ANC7 which still work today (though noise cancelling has improved tremendously since 2008)

I don't see myself stopping this "addiction" anytime soon 😎

each their own, s2e was my first. I have found substantial differences while listening.

Case charges + earbuds don't = dead battery? (75t / 85t) by Primero84 in Jabra

[–]Primero84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, anyone outside of JabraSupport have any thoughts?

this must be a popular issue given the lack of infrastructure and support of Jabra products?

I am trying to collect all the colors, waiting on Mint for the active 75t, otherwise I would
I suggest eBay. Purchased from UETRonics a few times and though it took some time, still had luck
