How to Install Beta Firmware on Your AirPods Pro (and Why You Should)
the idea of installing a firmware update on your cans should trigger some sort of conniption, imho, if you are with a clue.
when lockdown hit and i was working at home, and the jerk religious place next door decided to set up a screaming kid playground outside my window, i purchased the sony WH-1000XM3 cans, current at the time. of course the XM4, here it is, two months after i shell out
but lots of mileage. it drowned out the screaming kids, and then i move away from the screaming kids, and i'm using them on walks, lots and lots of walks.
but it's hot. and then it starts raining a lot. and i'm nervously wiping them like mopping a brow to see if they're getting too wet. and then i just wear a raincoat and the hood starts changing tracks; doodling on the touch control surface it sports. that at a certain point, it's just change, pause, ch- pau- stop --- play -- skipsdfgkdjfkg for a few minutes straight, and i am literally cussing aloud in the middle of the street, by myself. thankfully quite alone tho
and it's time to get the earbuds.
and they're pretty good on many levels. they just try to do too freaking much for you. to wit, there is no way, as far as i know, to shut them off, other than shoving them into their little charging capsule. if you take an earbud out, it will pause the music, but this feature winds up being quite shit as it'll accidentally trigger. that, since they're independent bobs, there's some sort of networking to be had, and one will randomly cut out and you have to rebluetoof
and if i wrote sony they'd just tell me: yeah, apply this dicey software update that may brick your earbuds
technology good now but do kind of miss a mere, reliable wire

same thing happened to me man. Bought those xm3s and then shortly after the xm4s come out for exactly the same price.
Still happy with 'em though. They sounds good. I heard they made pairing simpler with the xm4s - sounds like that's about the only real upgrade there.
I never take mine outside (rarely myself for that matter).
grats on the earbuds. My ears are sensitive and generally hate being touched on the ear (take note ladies, nibble elsewhere) - never mind sticking little things in the hole.
You can turn that touch pad off on the Sonys - but ive learnt it's better to keep them on - because for some reason the volume can't change when u do that(even on the external source). Could be doing something wrong.
Anywayy
Have a good Saturday epic. Try to clear your head a little. Try not to overthink things. Go get an ice-cream - enjoy the sound of trees swaying in teh wind or something.

am 112% yolo here; will let rain thoroughly mist the XM3 cans; just wipe them off a bit here and there whatever man

for real, i want the science on this -- they are simultaneously worse for noise cancellation than the giant earmuff XM3, and also worse on the tinnitus
some of that makes sense. earmuffs, rite, rite -- but there's something a bit harsher about plugging up the entire airsream like gruetoof earplods
You can turn that touch pad off on the Sonys - but ive learnt it's better to keep them on - because for some reason the volume can't change when u do that(even on the external
yes, you've the same thing from another angle: they've designed to work way XYZ, and you're trying to swim up a waterfall better to just shut it off if you don't want to do it that way
i have sony MDR-V6, really ground zero for one of my few brand allegiances -- i like sony cans. that pair of MDR-V6, at least twenty (y)ears. i really need to order replacement earpads. they still sound great and if i'm ever stressing on EQ this or that i can dig them out and be sure
source). Could be doing something wrong.
