bit_user I'm surprised they get enough accuracy with just compass and accelerometers. I guess it doesn't have quite the same accuracy requirement as VR, since that usually requires multiple cameras to fine-tune the tracking produced by the IMS. BTW, I'm into year 6, with my XM3 headphones! The darn things just keep working, despite thousands of hours' use. I haven't even replaced the battery, yet! The earpads are quite worn down (I have replacements I was going to install when the battery needs replacing). The only bad thing about that is they're Bluetooth 4 headphones, whereas BT 5 doubled the data rate. So, I really ought to upgrade, but it's just too hard to ditch something that works almost perfectly for my needs. Reply

I hope their newer models have the same longevity for when the time eventually comes. Reply

A couple years ago, I thought about upgrading and looked at the Amazon customer reviews of the XM5's. They seemed significantly worse than the XM4 (which seemed roughly on par with the XM3). For me, I think the XM6 would be the next step (but I haven't looked at them in the same detail). Reply
gaspoweredcat A feature they clearly lifted from audeze after PlayStation bought them, this was on the mobius back in like 2019 Reply
