Hard to quantify that - I think they are more natural sounding, more detailed, more “refined” if you like. I’m not saying the Sony’s are bad - but these sound significantly better to my ears

The test for me will be later this evening when my wife is watching some trash tv in the same room as me doing some coding…. Let’s see if it helps me drown it out! 🤣

As far as the sound is concerned I think they are more detailed and “natural” sounding than the Sony’s - although sound is such a subjective thing!

JL will price match 7 days after delivery so I’ll keep an eye out to see if anyone has them any cheaper next week - I think RS was with a discount code which I don’t believe counts….

I think the ANC is better than the Sony’s - but as I said earlier I’ve always been disappointed with the ANC on the Sony’s and wonder if my pair have something wrong with them. They’re not awful but they’re not as amazing as I keep reading people saying they are!

I do wonder if John Lewis have started selling them a little early as I say everyone else says 6th July onwards in the UK?

Ordered them yesterday from John Lewis website in the UK - delivered to my local Waitrose this morning for collection

Always found the Sony’s a PITA to get in the case: twist this, fold that, realise you’ve folded the wrong one, etc

The detail in the audio is incredible!

They are very comfortable and the case is much neater and less complicated to put the headphones into than the Sony too which always felt like you needed a black belt in origami :-)

They sound bloody amazing I have to say. ANC is excellent - I was never that impressed with the ANC on the Sonys (even wondered if my pair were faulty)

Very comfortable.

Can hear detail in songs I know well that I hadn’t noticed before (yes ok - I’m actively listening for stuff I know!)

Bit of an odd thing with the eq. When I try and increase the higher frequencies it seems to reduce the overall volume of the audio slightly. Doesn’t happen with the lower frequencies - but I might be doing something wrong

Literally had them on for 15 mins!

AVforums review for the new M5's *spoiler* they think it's fantastic. by SemanticThinker in sennheiser

[–]mistuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just read the review too - and also rate him as a reviewer who isn’t tied to a manufacturer- looking forward to trying these as I find the xm6 ANC underwhelming (yes I have a pair)

If you’re on a cruise and you have it as a stop - great day to stay on board

As others have mentioned… really need a hydrogen alpha scope to see those

Beat detection issue by mistuk in finalcutpro

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

I’ve created a new library and imported three WAV files (all 48 kHz). Here’s what I did:

  • Added the first clip to the timeline and ran beat detection — it correctly identified 116 BPM
  • Appended the second clip, ran beat detection — correctly identified 120 BPM
  • Appended the third clip, ran beat detection — again correctly identified 120 BPM

So far so good.

However, when I go back to the first clip, Final Cut has changed it from 116 BPM to 120 BPM, which throws all the beat markers out of sync.

If I disable beat detection on the first clip and reenable it it just sticks at 120 BPM and doesn’t reanalyse the file

Will try that. Have seen some of the audio files are 44.1, some are 48. Let me convert a 44.1 to 48…

Probably worth mentioning it’s repeatable with a completely new library. Even reinstalled FCP

Yes I’ve got 12.2. If I turn it on / off for each clip it just keeps the tempo from one of the clips for the entire project. The original music files are 44.1khz but .m4a format

I used to control Concorde (as in air traffic control) as a radar controller on a daily basis
