    Getting fakes is not uncommon, but the length Amazon is going through to not replace it isn't good. Why will an Apple centre give a written letter saying the pods are fake ? They have no obligation. 

    Yeah the way they are handling it is piss poor. Honestly that is one aspect I love about Amazon - their customer care but I guess there are such cases that make you realize it can happen to anyone. Twice I have got fake discs but they have refunded instantly over call. Once I ordered 6 bulbs and one was broken I called them they refunded the entire amount and said keep the bulbs.

    Beware guys. Even Amazon is going the Flipkart way. 

    Not surprised airpods fakes are so so common not only in India even in the western countries. My friend got a fake in the US from amazon.com. The fakes are so good that many can get fooled. The one in the link is damn easy to spot though. Never buy airpods from Amazon/FK. But yeah lots of fakes specially the Dualsense and PS5 discs etc. this time around on Amazon saw some tweets and posts on Reddit.

    It looks like. News on both sides - reporting both high and low drain with AoD. 

    I think the bigger issue is rattlegate. OIS systems getting bricked when used in 3rd party apps like Snapchat, Insta etc. Not all Pros, but quite a bit. Apple is releasing an update next week, but it's to be seen if the damage is HW related or not. 

    I think an update should be able to iron out the issues. I dont think they would release something which has HW issues. 

    So basically that guy on twitter was trying to create an issue out of nothing and basically fooling people ? Typical twitter.

    How accurate are covid saliva tests? My dad seems to have symptoms, but the saliva test showed negative. Swab test tomorrow to make sure. Also, he is sneezing a lot and is complaining about fever with chills. Could it just be an allergy?

    Not very accurate in my personal experience. Dad had covid but test was negative. However, in my case it was positive in the home test as well as the rtpcr. So no they aren’t accurate the only way to know for sure is rtpcr.

    You can tell the difference between good and bad ANC headsets/earphones. But how much would you be able to tell the difference when the competition is already as good as Sony's

    ANC is getting better every year, I think there is a lot of scope. Every single review says that the Bose are much better at ANC than the Sony. So I am guessing the difference must be obvious. Also, Bose has tackled human voices very well in their buds this time which has been a weak point for ANC since a long time.

    How's the AQ compared to Seinns TWS ? The latest ones are pretty good with soundstage and general AQ. 

    I don’t think the Bose can beat the Sennheiser for sound. So basically sound would be Senn>Bose>Sony and ANC would be Bose>Sony>Senn. It’s going to be fun to see how the new AirPods fair against them. But the Bose have just launched so time will tell. Also, sound is super subjective so it’s hard to judge. I for one can’t stand boosted bass on the Sony. Apparently the new Audio Technica TWS are supposed to be crazy good sound wise. Unfortunately available right now only in Japan.

    But can you really tell such fine difference between the ANC and sound quality during everyday use while streaming?

    ANC - 100% I think any one can tell a diff. between good/bad ANC no ? I can easily tell you that the ANC on Jabra suck compared to Sony/Apple. Better ANC means you get less distractions from outside and you can enjoy your music. Also, you don't have to turn the volume up with good ANC so it is good for your ears/hearing too. 

     

    Sound Quality - When I am just relaxing and listening to music - 100% but I mostly use wired IEMs/Headphones for that, just do a A/B testing if possible. Use any TWS and then listen to the same song with quality wired IEMs/Headphones like Moondrop Kato or Sennheiser HD 599 I can guarantee you that the sound will be richer as well as have better soundstage. Heck, you might hear instruments that you would have never heard before because the usual TWS have over boosted bass/treble etc. to please the general public who have never heard quality audio before. So when a TWS at least make an attempt to improve the sound I am 100% for it. Can go on and it will get very technical but I'll stop 

     

    But at the end of the day ignorance is bliss, if you are happy with the usual TWS sound quality good for you. Trust me it is a rabbit hole and my wallet is always unhappy. I think this can be compared to switching from HD to 4K or from LED to OLED, if you want to draw parallels. If you have never experienced OLED you will be happy with LED.

    ANC is only a part of the equation. At $299 they don't have quality of life improvements like Multipoint and Wireless charging.

    I am not sure if anyone looking for a daily TWS will be ready to sacrifice these features.

    I am absolutely fine with not having wireless charging. Yes, not providing multipoint at $299 is a sin. Apparently they sound better than the Sony but time will tell. For me ANC and sound are the only two categories and if a TWS can nail those two I am sold. Going to wait for the AAP2 and then take a call.

    Bose Quiet Comfort II TWS apparently kill the competition when it comes to ANC. Almost every review mentions that these are the new ANC king and are much better than the Sony. I am sure Sony is working on their new TWS as it has been a year since the xm4. I hope Apple pushes the boundary even more with the AAP2 supposed to release in a few days. 

     

    I guess the only place TWS need to catch up are sound. It is sad that $20-$50 Chi-Fi IEMs blow all these $200-300 buds out of the water when it comes to sound. I picked up the 7Hz Zero for 1.7k and they are magical if you like a neutral sound signature, hook them up to a Bluetooth DAC and you are set, obviously without the TWS features like ANC etc. Unfortunately even the Chi-Fi brands are not able to crack the TWS formula.

    What is this? :unsure:

     

    Yakuza game? Spin off? Is it related to the Kiryu games? Is this a remake or re-release?

    It's a spin-off. Some characters are from the Yakuza games but they are playing completely diff. roles.

    My AW misses unlocking my work iPhone very often. I'll have it on wrist, look at the phone with mask on, and it'll still prompt me for the pin. Often enough that it seems half baked. 

    My iPhone almost always unlocks even if I have a mask on, heck even if I am wearing light coloured sun glasses. iPhone’s Face ID is unparalleled. Family member have Samsung and they are mostly struggling. Never had an AW so don’t know about that but the Face ID is *chef’s kiss*

    What was your experience like with import duty ? The deposit collected by amazon upfront was used or did they refund ?

    Ebay. Takes hell lot of time nowadays if item is coming from China. If seller is from some other country then it comes faster.

    I ordered something from Ebay shipped from China and it reached me in 9 days but they were clever they shipped it to Singapore and then the product was redirected to India from Singapore. The seller used 4px shipping.
