These average 4.2 out of 5 based on 430+ customer reviews and they nearly 350 customer reviews.
Of Bluetooth interest, these support LDAC whose prominence will likely increase once Android 8.0 (Oreo? the name will be officially revealed during the Eclipse on Monday by the …luna-tics at Google) arrives, since Sony worked with Google to bake into Android 8. But as usual, it is still an unknown as to how and whether the various manufacturers and individual phones will support both Android 8.0 and LDAC.
