Reviews by RokeJulianLockhart

I have purchased one WH-1000 XM5.

Positive Attributes

• The sound quality is impressive.

• The features provided by the companion AOSP application are decently powerful, and generally applied without a restart, which is convenient.

Negative Attributes

However, the hardware is thoroughly disappointing:

• The touch panel is only on the right earcup, which means that those missing a limb or simply left-handed cannot become used to this method of operation.

• Because it has so few backup buttons (for no reason – significant space exists for more surrounding the cup) it cannot be used with gloves on or wet.

  In fact, wetness is the greatest problem that these face. They cannot be used in any kind of rain, or even a humid environment. It absolutely wrecks them temporarily – it produces the most awful sounds for the next few weeks, until it dries.

  Tangential

  Regarding this, Sony’s account systems are not well unified, and they appear to believe that to send a product in use by the user, they must provide the RMA’d product first, whereas the best course of action is to send the replacement, and, then, accept the RMA, so that disruption to the user is minimal.

• They cannot be utilised whilst charging, whereas Fairphone’s can.

Even outside of that, within \.\/my-assignments\/.*, the speed of the speech cannot be controlled in random places, during which, unless manually paused, multiple audio tracks shall play. Likely because it’s not FOSS, it provides no issue tracker, nor even a point of contact for support.

As was originally stated in trustpilot.com/reviews/691b32bd516257e45a812c2d, albeit paraphrased:

I assist in the administration of Mozilla’s Bugzilla instance. This organisation spams it (alongside the organisation detailed in trustpilot.com/reviews/690cbc41f834b763eabd530e). A company that commits crimes online is not one that I advise.

Their response to this was:

THIS REVIEW IS SPAM, VERY OBVIOUS

…which is infantile.

Evidence is available at maps.app.goo.gl/Z9HWYzPRbZKsHFwa7.

That this novel was serialised in 1897 remains difficult to believe, because, for an author to possess such accurate knowledge of the effects of compromised immunology, and predict:

• that the circuit would replace the wheel, in driving machinery, and

• that the laser would exist

…and utilise these as the fundamental premise of the story is impressive beyond belief. Even irrespective of this, to script a mesmeric novel requires consistent, correct pace, which this novel does. However, even more impressively, to create such a novel about a Victorian alien invasion, without it appearing contrived – or hopelessly… hopeless – requires serious consideration for the weakness of what should be whatsoever weak. Yet, he, a Victorian, achieved this, and being an educated, Victorian Englishman, communicated it perfectly.

As I summarised at trustpilot.com/reviews/6934c6f27b1370c97a88d3a1:

• Dreadful coverage in North Norfolk.

• Lacks FIDO2 1/2FA, and/or even FIDO 2FA.

• Customer support can be really painful. They’re evidently outsourced and overworked, per Message-Id: <0102019929b541b0-da8605e5-02ef-415e-8287-267c06cc9202-000000@eu-west-1.amazonses.com>, where the representative merely ceased to respond, after nigh ignoring the content of every message. I was as polite as I believed was reasonable, in the interest of accuracy, and certainly provided sufficient diagnostic information for them to ascertain why my device didn’t receive the 2025 national emergency broadcast.

• The AOSP client isn’t [F]OSS.
