Beauties!! How do they sound and feel? I’m not an earbud guy, but these would be more stylish than my WH-1000XM3 for my walks.

Surprisingly the audio is really good! I have the Bose QC35 II’s and I slightly prefer the audio on these. Your headphones would have the slight advantage for ANC though.

Interesting, I thought these were the same as mine, but I have the WI-1000X, dont quite understand sony's naming convention with these speakers.

those style scare me into losing them, but I'm sure the sound quality is amazing. I'm on my first sound cancellation headphones and they are pretty darn quality.

Yeah their naming is confusing especially since their headphones are WH. Once you get used to having noise cancelling it’s hard to go back. It’s also fairly hard to lose them as long as you put them in the case once you’re done

I’ve woke up and sensible head is back. I’ll keep my preorder as it’s the size and weight that appeals. But man that 1.2 sure does look nice but not for me

Well, that was easy wasn't it..?

My boy has had a similar style of earphone (but not as top quality) for quite a while now and he's still managed to own both of them which I'm fairly surprised about....

I do like music. But don't own ear/headphones because I just don't really get the chance to use them.

Sunrise at one of the few good sunrise spots in the Smokies...it looked like it was going to be a total overcast dud...but some holes in the clouds produced some good light, good light over those layers.

One advantage of shooting 2 bodies, they can do different comps...I was working between both of them this morning...

Simply gorgeous light Travis!

We've had nothing that spectacular this past week but I do think we've managed to capture some good ones! I done Lulworth Cove sunrise this morning which actually popped nicely after (the official) sunrise. Also got some midday shots from there and Durdle Door on Tuesday including climbing the next cliff along for a further away view. Portland Bill area for both sunrise (was okay) and sunset (a dud!) but pre sunset gave us some great water movement So overall, some nice camera time and a few new opportunities taken

Maybe these could be a Christmas/Bday present one day haha

I use mine for exercise, commuting to/from work and work breaks. Maybe you could get try listening to music/podcasts when out shooting?

I don't like to shut myself off at the gym. Commuting I drive anyway..... If I shot urban or city a bit more then I could probably see the appeal in an honesty. I prefer woodlands and nature. This morning I was listening to the sea

Excellent light! Such a great location to shoot sunrise.

Thanks. It is a classic spot, glad we got some good light there while you were here.

Classic!

It sure is...

We have a three day even coming up later this weekend. 21 miles and over those miles we'll gain 10,000 feet and loose 14,000 feet.
Travis we'll be zipping by your rock between Round Bald and Grassy Ridge.
This hike to celebrate my reaching 177.5 pounds! And will probably drop a little more on the hike.

Many people think the Appalachians are soft and lush. We do have our rocky sections. Like this from the 3 day hike a couple of weeks ago

That's Poof in front and Neutron behind. He's my personal physician and thy guy who bought my a99ii. Always good to have an MD along when in the woods but he's a beekeeper too, that's how I met him.
I won't be carrying a camera on the hike...this has to be the lightest loudout I can come up with...so the phone will have to do. Got a deal on a Note 9 since the 10 is out and will the shooter.

Sounds like a great hike. One day you need to meet my friend Ron Williams. He lives in Johnson City, hikes through there a lot.

Incredible atmospheric perspective!

Thank you. The Smokies have a few great lookouts that showcase these layers. This is one of the better ones.

David Arbogast wrote in post #18910429
Nice. I’d love to see more captures from you of the Kimbell, one of Louis Kahn’s several architectural masterpieces.

I was supposed to do a hotel in Ft. Worth...the main draw for me was the Kimbell...I didn't get to do the job...but might have one there after all...

Thank you sir. Anytime out with the camera is better than sitting around...I am sure you came away with something, looking forward to seeing the images.

The sounds of nature sure are nice, and are my preference...I see people hiking with headphones on...I find that to be dangerous...you can't hear others when they are trying to signal you...or the bears when they are walking with you! So much better to hear...last weekend we stopped off at a spot, Alfredo was working a shot, and I was just standing in the tree canopy, listening to all of the little birds and sounds...I think I am going to make a point to do more of the "Quiet Walkways" that are all along the road through the park...just to enjoy the sounds.

You need to buy the Kenko extension tube set for Sony full frame. Other brand might not have big enough hole in the middle. Then use the 16mm tube, and you need to do a small mod to it. You need to cut away the slight black plastic protrusion to make it flush with the metal part, before the TC will click with it.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

Very nicely lit and composed.

I'm curious about how you lit the case. Did you use a light from overhead or flags on each side?

I’ve been thinking about getting a pair but can’t decide between these or the headphones that David has. I like to listen to music and podcasts when I run or on lunch breaks.

I got my wife a pair of AirPods and used them on this Atlanta trip. They’re fine but I find my ears hurt after a while.

that is my fear too...I have had enough issues with headphones on airplanes that the little un-wired independent ones...yeah, I would lose one. So I went with the Jabra Tarah Pro, they have a nice sturdy cable between them and I really like them. They have great battery life, and pretty good sound. My ears do get a bit tired of wearing them after a few hours...

Travis, did you get a chance to check out that video from Cade’s Cove?

I did...he got a lot of great footage...pretty incredible.

Agree. Pretty amazing stuff. Loved that he was out shooting with his son. Enjoyed his commentary along with his images.

Yeah they aren't for everyone. My girlfriend rarely uses earphones/headphones too. Probably why she got so angry at me for buying them....

Thanks Gene,I had my AD200 just above of the camera shooting through a softbox. The case was much brighter before but I tend to crush the blacks. The SOOC image is below which I did some focus stacking which is why the case is OOF (this is 1 of 3 images).

If your ears got sore using AirPods, I think the WH-1000XM3's headphones would probably be better. I can only use these for a few hours at a time so haven't experienced any discomfort yet.

I listen to podcasts slightly more than music but both sound great on these.
