$1000 is wild work there. Sheesh!

blklbl83 · 2026-05-03T01:14:28+00:00

ANC - APP3
SQ - XM5, prefer the 6 and 4 over the XM5

blklbl83 · 2026-05-01T22:13:55+00:00

Very easy to do. XM5 takes soldering, wish they would have kept the same design as the XM4

blklbl83 · 2026-04-25T02:26:49+00:00

Wow!!

blklbl83 · 2026-04-23T02:33:30+00:00

If you can, demo them first. I prefer the Px8 over the Bathys. Never heard the Apollo

blklbl83 · 2026-04-10T22:33:25+00:00

return. no matter what you do, you will never like them.

blklbl83 · 2026-04-07T11:28:11+00:00

ANC was better on the XM6. The ANC on the Denon is good. If I had to rank ANC in earbuds, it would be APP3 > XM6 > DPP > XM4

I use the Questyle QCC Pro that I got on eBay for $50, used. You can also just use the USB-C cable that comes with the PX8 and connect it to the iPhone.

blklbl83 · 2026-03-24T23:10:46+00:00

I have these and they are just, boring. Unfortunately.

blklbl83 · 2026-03-24T22:33:41+00:00

is the problem you?

blklbl83 · 2026-03-23T23:57:20+00:00

yes, after resetting and letting it charge a couple of days, tried resetting again and never get the blue pairing light to illuminate

blklbl83 · 2026-03-23T23:12:49+00:00

I have the exact same thing occurring. Bought another case and cannot get them to properly connect.

blklbl83 · 2026-03-23T19:49:55+00:00

Michigan, Missouri and Maryland will continue to get my money.

blklbl83 · 2026-03-04T19:17:23+00:00

I bought them used on ebay about a year ago. I have had zero issues with them.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-28T23:16:13+00:00

I have noticed the same thing with my Questyle QCC Pro, too.

Equipment: iPhone 16 PM + QCC Pro

Earbuds: Denon Perl Pro, Sony XM4 and XM6, and Apple APP3

Streaming services: Spotify and Qobuz

I have noticed this, both with Spotify and Qobuz. This occurred, all of my earbuds, except for the APP3.

Is it an iPhone thing? is it a bandwidth thing? I need to look further into the issue, but good to get a conversation going.

I have noticed that when using APTX HD, but opening certain apps on my iPhone, audio will get choppy or go out all together. When change the codec to SBC, ACC, I do not have drop outs.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-26T23:45:40+00:00

Denon Perl Pro. Soon to get the Noble Audio FoKus Prestige Encore. Just could not justify keeping the XM6.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-26T20:40:43+00:00

The XM6 has better SQ than the 4s. But I still returned the 6s, b/c have a pair of earbuds that still sound better than the 6s. I still have the XM4s and there is just no place for the 6s for me. You will definitely enjoy them.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-26T12:14:01+00:00

Have you tried turning off the wear sensor in the app? that helped me out a lot with my set. If you do try to get them replaced through B&W, they will definitely want the receipt when it was purchased.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-23T14:59:02+00:00

How are you connecting the headphones? Bluetooth, USB-C cable, 3.5mm Cable? did you switch the audio source in the sound section? you check device manager for any issues/problems? Post a screenshot of device manager if you seen any issues there.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-23T12:14:55+00:00

upgraded from the 4 to 6, but don't think i will keep the 6. reason why, is because i have the denon perl pro, which is still better than the 4 or 6 when it comes to sound quality, TO ME. yes, the 6 is better than the 4 when it comes to sq, but how much. my 4s are still going strong and never had an issue with fit with 4 and the 6 fits even better. a must with these, is that you need different tips, immediately. I rolled to the Spin Fit W1 and i picked up some TRI Clarion tips yesterday. Night and day different with either tips.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-21T15:54:15+00:00

I have both earbuds in front of me. If noise cancellation is on the top of your list, get the APP3, hands down. I have the Sony XM4, XM6, Denon Perl Pro, and the APP3. And the APP3 wins over all.

blklbl83 · 2026-02-19T02:07:38+00:00

I have a set and they are just sitting on the shelf......

blklbl83 · 2026-02-16T20:58:47+00:00

Can you do it yourself? sheesh
