    I have to admit I don't get the price. Given the features I would have thought it would have been in Freya territory. What am I missing?

    A cheap system with a good sounding tape was still enough to make your day.

    No problem fitting them; They are just a bit clunky and not easy to handle.

    While I don't disagree with those statements, sure does make your overzealous attitude pre-arrival seem a bit foolish eh?

  AptX HD or LDAC?

    LDAC is guaranteed compatibility with almost all Android phones 8.0 or later. Sony contributed it to AOSP when I was still in the Android ecosystem team. AptX requires QC hardware.

    LDAC is really good for Bluetooth. I'm very happy with the quality for a lossy codec.
