Sony WH-1000XM4 passes through Korean FCC (MSIP)

So good news, the Sony WH-1000XM4 has passed through Korea's FCC, the MSIP. This certification is 76 days after the US FCC filing which is a bit worrying. This large gap between the US and Korean certifications rarely occurs, last time was with the original MDR-1000X.

Sony to add aptX HD support to WF-1000XM3? (update)

Sony's WF-1000XM3 has been praised as one of the best wireless NC headsets but nothing is perfect. The lack of LDAC support is one of those issues raised. So to see the WF-1000XM3 on Qualcomm's aptX site showing support for aptX, a competitor for Sony's LDAC is surprising and puzzling. Could this mean we will see aptX support soon in a future firmware update? Or is this a mistake?

Sony Japan launches the WF-H800

Sony WI-1000XM2 now available in US and Canada

The new WI-1000XM2 has finally become available in Canada and the US. The wireless headset is available on Amazon price at $299 USD or $399 CAD, identical to the previews model. I was worried that with no announcement at CES 2020, users would have to import from Asia or Europe. But with the appearance on Sony's site, people will not have to import and will save on import fees and easier returns.
