Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
My XM3s work flawlessly. The mics suck, but that’s the headset’s problem lol.
I have a lot of Bluetooth devices, and I haven’t found one that has any issues at all, including controllers.
Bluetooth works, but latency is high for gaming.
It’s the 2.4 wireless connection I’m stuck trying to get working (or find another wireless headset - not using Bluetooth) that works.
I don’t notice any latency with my Sony XM5’s using the LDAC codec. Sometimes they don’t switch back from headset mode after taking a call, which is a bit annoying, but just one click away in the volume panel.
I don’t have XM5s, and am pretty sure the LS50X doesn’t support LDAC, but I am glad it works well for you.
They’re nice headphones but no boom mic would be a deal-breaker for me.
It seems like your LS50X neither support LDAC nor aptX for delivering low latency audio. That’s an absolute dealbreaker, sadly. :(
