![]() ![]() The quality of audio in a playback system is always defined by its weakest link, and in this case, the weak link is the lossy, compressed, AAC codec, which is the best you'll do through a wireless or wired connection to the APM.ģ) Oh, you plan to use APM on an airplane? That will cost you $35 more! This is a case of Apple at its greediest, most consumer-abusing worst. I could excuse this massive shortcoming in one of the most expensive bluetooth headphones if it just applied to wireless listening, but it doesn't-the APM doesn't support lossless listening even through a wired connection. Yes, Apple Music is now filled with lossless audio files, Apple Digital Masters, etc - you just can't listen to any of them through Apple's $549 headphones. I can go long periods of time without using my XM4 and they still maintain a charge-no such luck with the APM unless I keep them charging all the time.Ģ) No ability to listen to lossless audio. I don't care what Apple says about powering off automatically-they don't, at least not completely. The main reason I continue to use my Sony XM4 MUCH more often than my APM-even though I think the APM sounds better and has better ANC-is that my APM are usually dead when I pick them up.
