True Wireless Birthday 21Nov17

"When I'm 63" - oh wait, I'm still a year away, John Lennon. Kala grabbed me the keen replacement for the Kanoa failure... the Sony WF-1000X true wireless earphones. I am excited and have used them a number of times already. They sound great, fit me well (listening or riding) and come with a decent complete charging and configuration solution. While they are noise cancelling, I can disable that circuit and go straight to native sound driven by these closed (nobody knows to what I'm listening) dynamic 6mm drivers. There are integrated mics for taking calls when on the phone. A single charge lasts decently and there are two more full charges from the USB recharged battery in the case and there is a good auto-off feature which saves battery life further. These display typically good Sony build quality  maybe even exceptional. One thing I don't like is that there are no custom HiDef bluetooth profiles supported - but the sound is still awesome and true wireless is a spectacular upgrade compared to wireless buds having ear-to-ear wiring or a capsule holding the battery and electronics... they only weigh 1/8 ounce each.
