Sony brings head-tracking spatial audio to its 1000XM5 headphones - eviltoast
And now multipoint and LDAC can be used at the same time.

cross-posted from: !sony@lemdro.id

As with the buds, you’ll need a phone running Android 13 or later, and dynamic head tracking only works with compatible video apps.

    Just did loads of research into these and ended up buying the XM4s because every honest review said that all the new features on the 5s were just gimmicks that added nothing but complications

      Same, bought xm4 two weeks ago. Mostly because xm5 case is kinda big and the features itself doesn’t have much difference

        They’re absolutely fantastic headphones, but fuckin hell, I wish I could disable the play/pause double tap, and switch it to the custom button.

        The amount of times when you have the headphones round your neck, it brushes your chin and restarts playback 😡 Not so bad with music, fuckin infuriating with audiobooks

            Yeah you can disable it, but you can’t change it to the custom button. I don’t want to pull out my phone to pause every time
