So I just bought the px7s3 for only £197 from John Lewis. I got the white ones as they were the cheapest, and used £70 e-gift. I've been really excited about them after watching numerous videos on them.

Just picked them up this morning from the post office and am using them now. Amazing beautiful premium build quality. Love the smell haha.

But, I'm absolutely devastated by how normal they sound. Was expecting to be blown away by something. Nothing is happening. They don't sound like they warrant that price tag whatsoever. I have a pair of Tozo ht3 which I really love and just comparing both back to back with the same songs.

Honestly, my Tozos are "blowing" them out of the water. Can't believe I'm saying that, but it's what I'm hearing. The Tozos sound is much more immersive, louder, more bass (which I kinda expected), and simply has a better soundstage.

Not sure what else I'm supposed to be looking for in the px7s3, but I'm really not impressed. There is no way I'd drop the Tozos over the px7 for a music session. And that's exactly what I'm doing now.

I've read others saying how after many uses, the px7s3 does start sounding better. Not sure what to make of this.

I was looking at the momentum 4's, but really don't like the touch buttons and also heard that their max volume isn't so great.

I just fancied something alongside what I already have. By no means am I looking to replace the Tozos.

I've played around with the EQ and even though it worked better with them, it's just not giving me anything better than the Tozos.

I'm desperate to like these, but not sure that'll be the case.

They just sound like normal cheap loudish headphones. Desperate for them to give me what the guys on YouTube were raving about. But it's not giving anything close to that.

These headphones are definitely the best in premium build quality I've ever had, but that will never be enough. I need the sounds to match that hefty price tag. It really isn't there. I think it's the build quality that justifies the price. But I ain't buying it to look good in lol. Really not sure what all the fuss is about over these. But am trying hard to find what the fuss might be.

Am I doing anything wrong guys? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Edit: Unfortunately I'm definitely sending these back. They simply aren't worth that much money for what it gives you. They sound terrible compared to the Tozos. Even my older Soundcore Q30s were better. These px7s3 just sound like a normal pair of headphones. You can hear the music separation (great 🤦🏻), but is that it? This needs to be giving much more!!!

I've had my signature for two days now. Absolutely love it. Super sharp selfies and fantastic cameras. Also a fantastic form factor. I came from an S23 ultra which I loved, but really hated the weight. Fatigued hands every day. All in all, I much prefer this Signature over it.

So, here's what's seriously bugging me. I went to listen to some music on my Bluetooth headphones, and they sounded absolutely awful. Lower volume than my old S23 ultra and less rich. I listen to music a lot. I use three different brands of headphones and earphones which all sounded amazing on the S23 ultra. I've read a lot on here regarding the issues and seems to be a common theme. Saying that, I've read a couple of people with no issues. How is that possible for them, and not for me and many others?

I'm now reluctantly considering returning this brilliant piece of tech because of the Bluetooth issues. From what I've read, Motorola doesn't seem to do anything about this. It's a major problem. Is it worth holding out for a potential fix? After all, this is their flagship model.

I really don't want to go back to Samsung. I'm not happy with the direction of the ultra. Not a fan of them washing the colours out even more on the newer models. I compared the S26 ultra with a pixel 10 XL and razr ultra by watching football on YouTube, and the XL and razr were miles ahead in terms of viewing pleasure. The razr probably edging it. The S26 ultra just looked lifeless with its less vibrant screen.

I was thinking about maybe getting a used S25+ if I did send this signature back but that in itself would be a reluctant buy as the colours on that screen aren't as vibrant as my old S23 ultra. But I know it'll give me great sounding music through the Bluetooth.

Any recommendations would be very helpful as this is my first Motorola since the 2000s.. cheers..
