    I have these and enjoyed your review. They're easily the best-sounding earbuds I've owned and are a significant upgrade over my older Sony XM5's. They nearly match my overhead cans... the DT1990 Pro's, and that's a huge compliment. 😂 The sound quality alone justifies the price, which is just as well, as other aspects, such as ANC are a bit "mid" in comparison. Anyway, great review and it's nice to watch a deep dive. 👍

    The Mini AX doesn't actually really separate the traditional stereo L & R channels, which makes sense if you consider how small the soundbar is anyway. If you play a song with really strong channel separation like eg "If you're going to San Francisco" (or play a stereo channel test clip) you'll notice this. Instead it uses its Stereo Dimensional Array to create an immersive, surround-sound experience that encompasses the whole soundstage which extends way beyond the soundbar itself. It's very impressive!

    I have been using the X1S for almost a year now. The ring button failed after a month of use. It was only after posting a bad review on Amazon that Sofa Baton was willing to replace it. The replacement has been fine. My setup is a bit unusual, but the X1S is nearly perfect. In my living room I have two separate systems - An older Samsung TV, Denon AVR, Apple TV and a Blu-ray Player. The second system is a Sony Projector, Marantz Processor, 2nd Apple TV, and a Shield TV. The separate systems are activated by activities. To make it all work nicely, I needed to add a Xantec IR distribution block to run cables to my projector, the rear IR inputs on the Denon and Marantz, and Flashers to the TV, Blu-ray player, and Shield TV. The 2 Apple TVs use Bluetooth which is AWESOME! Pros: -My wife and my 5 year-old child can use it mostly trouble free. -Controlling Apple TV via Bluetooth is in a few ways even better than the Apple remote. I have more commands available on the X1S than the Apple remote, but I don't have Siri. -Battery life is fair - about 3 weeks on a charge. -the macros/activities work 99% of the time. - I personally love the feel and ergonomics of it. -Cost - is cheap compared most usable universal remotes. -Alexa integration is basic, but effective - It just turns activities on or off. -the iPhone app is handy when the remote battery dies. Cons: -RF signal is weak. If I am holding the remote close to my body, the frequencies gets absorbed and don't make it to the base station. -It only has 2 flasher outputs, and they are not individually addressable. That's why I needed to Jerry-rig the Xantec block. -I live in the "activities" area of the remote. In that area, there is no battery level indicator. The battery has died many times before I realized it. -Sofa Baton refused to replace my defective remote until the saw my negative review. -The learning function just plain sucks. If it's not in their code base, it's likely not going to work. -When a macro/activity fails, getting to the button you need such as power or source, takes a lot of clicks and scrolling. Despite the cons, I really love it. I have a friend who can hook me up with Crestron or Control 4, but I prefer to have something that I can deal with myself. I had been using a URC remote for more than 10 years, but after a few days, I like the X1S much better.

      What was inconsistent? I didn’t have any issues other than the anthem input selection getting out of sync.

      ​@@av_nirvana , buggy, you need to switch from activity to "devices" and resync again, plastic ring is poor and started to creak after 2 months in right sector, and of course you will say "thanks" to Sofa engineers after crushing the system (i had an experience at once) because THERE IS NO an upload function still from your personal cabinet or cloud or save file and etc even in firmware 2 version!
