Sony has released a firmware update for the WH-CH720N. It addresses one issue with the iPhone and the security vulnerabilities would with Airoha/Mediatek chipsets. It is good to see Sony will be updating at least some of their mid level models, with perhaps further down the road the rest of the lineup.

Second Sony WH-1000XM6 Hinge Failure

Second Sony WH-1000XM6 Hinge Failure

Uh...wtf. Another post on reddit. Very similar failure, the metal piece dislocating from the plastic socket. This is not great optics, especially with the recent Xperia 1 VII issues. Here is what OP wrote:

Well that did not take long. This first real failure was posted on reddit, but user Character-Zombie-232. The original post is from Chinese Tik Tok, link here. The original user said they were careful with their headset, so they were surprised they actually broke, as the rest of the build quality is solid.

Sony Amazon Prime Day 2025 Deals

Sony Amazon Prime Day 2025 Deals

We are half way through the year and that means it is Prime Day on Amazon, and it is for 4 entire days. Whether you are a fan of Amazon or not, they do offer some pretty deep discounts. Plus their return policy is very good, as is the warranty. Any purchases made through the links do earn the blog some commission which goes back into domain and cookie hosting, plus buying any future reviews units. So if you have been undecided on a new model, perhaps some discounts will convince you otherwise.
