Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Wireless have the edge over the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless. The Bose are more comfortable and better built. They also have a slight edge in noise isolation, but the difference is minor; both choices are still well-suited for noisy environments. The Bose also support aptX Adaptive for high-quality audio. Meanwhile, the Sony headphones support the LDAC codec, which is nice if you want to stream high-quality audio, and you can use them passively when wired. If you want to use the Bose wired, you'll have to turn them on.

In the Samsung Wearables app you can enable Gaming mode to reduce latency. Was this enabled when tested?
Thanks. I bought the N10 Max+ and yep, software is no good. The item does not navigate efficiently, forgets the map regularly, does not allow you to edit the map rooms or tell it to start with room 1, 2, 3, etc., runs over small items despite having dToF sensors and relies more on the bump sensor AND WON’T ACTUALLY RUN ON THE SCHEDULE. And potentially wrong charging dock was sent? It takes about 6 hours to charge.. Though I am on day three and it is beginning to get a little better in terms of actually learning the dang house, but the map sometimes still doesn’t get recognized when wanting to do a spot clean randomly and will randomly forget the map and try to re-map. Talk about babysitting… I wish robovac companies would let you export and import lidar maps.
edit again: It appears to be getting better with time, AND you can segment rooms and set which rooms to begin with (it just took more than two dang days to recognize there was an actual map for those features). I can’t seem to cut part of a room properly, so the app is definitely a bit janky. Otherwise for $144 refurbished with two year warranty, can’t go wrong for the price
dreame and dreametech are more or less xiaomi, available on ebay
For the honorable mentions, the Deebot N10 Max+ is a far better choice than the T8 AIVI especially if you have carpet. While the T8 AIVI has an ultrasonic mop pad, the N10 Max+ has not only more suction, but also has dtof sensors along with lidar which are more reliable and accurate than just simple lidar alone with AI assistance. They are the same $144 price in eBay right now in like new refurbished condition with two year warranty.
But I’ve heard bad rumors about the ecovacs app… I’ve had to deal with maps being forgotten on my eufy which wasn’t great to deal with but ultimately I want something to avoid any sort of pooptastrophe… AGAIN. The budget eufy robovacs don’t have dtof sensors and object avoidance isn’t great whatsoever. Have to babysit it
Yes! Please review one of the Ryobi stick vacuums or one of the new releases
Thank you!
