No Spotify. No Apple Music. Until they add support this will never catch on.
I’ve got the xm3 which are very nearly as good by all accounts. Fantastic purchase. Apparently the new Apple ones have even better ANC. Pricey though.Totally agree - ignoring the top 2 streaming music services is typical Sony though. I literally opened my new WH-1000XM4 headphones an hour ago, and the 360 Reality Audio feature is actually really compelling. It's definitely something I'd seek out when using Spotify. BTW, these are absolutely brilliant headphones if you're looking for noise cancellation cans for travelling - first impressions are that they're almost as good as my AU$1800 aviation-grade Bose pilot's headphones when it comes to wiping out background sound.
Neighbours or people you live with do not want to hear speakers all the timeEqually not sure why all the fuss over headphones?
Simulating surround sound effects with headphones makes more sense than applying the digital visualisation to soundbars imo
Neighbours, time of day, other people in the house, prefer to shut off from the world. Optimising the headphone experience doesn’t detract from other ways to listen.There's no need for simulating surround effects on either headphones or soundbars when you can have the real thing with a proper surround sound set up...
I can hear for example 'Ship Ahoy' by The O'Jays in fantastic quadraphonic sound through the SACD released decades ago...
We've regressed our listening habits to a poorer quality unfortunately...
And I think that there are more issues looking at building quality control if the only way to listen to an album is through headphones for fear of neighbours listening.
Almost like that poster ignored the same points being made above that not everyone can own or have turned on at all hours a multi channel sound systemNeighbours, time of day, other people in the house, prefer to shut off from the world.
