Panda Firmware Update 3/5
Hello Friends,
Work continues on our sonarworks integration. We're nearing the end of that process and I can provide some context for this update.
The update we're working on now is focused on two areas
Sonarworks Integration
Update Infrastructure
We've talked about the benefits of Sonarworks (EQ, SoundID, etc) so let's focus on Update Infrastructure.
Update Infrastructure is about what we can update and how we can deliver those updates.
For this first update, some of you will need to update via USB C (installers will be provided for OSX/Win), but most of you, and all of you for all future updates, will be able to update over the air via the Sonarworks app.
Beyond updating over the air, this update includes a variety of back-end changes that will address some QOL issues and enable further firmware development.
Thanks for your patience, we'll be back next week with hopefully our last update before release.

1. Most Bluetooth headphones seem to be tuned for the mass market. Many have a boosted bass and almost none offer a flat response. Is there a good reason for this? Is it possible to create a perfectly flat-sounding Bluetooth headphone?
2. My MDR-1RBTs have audible buzzing when there's nothing playing, presumably because the radio and other circuitry are so close to the drivers. Is it possible to create a Bluetooth headphone with a perfectly clean sound?
3. In terms of hardware (and ignoring the lossy BT codec + latency issues), how far away are we from a perfect, uncompromising Bluetooth headphone? Could we, at some point in the near future, get a wireless headphone that sounds just as good as the HD 650, for example?
Thank you!
