    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    As luck would have it, earlier this year, Sony filed with the FCC for a a new wireless earbud and I believe it was called the WF-1000xm3. We just may see a new wireless model from Sony and hopefully they can improve upon the shortcomings like connection issues and battery life. I’ll buy a pair...

    Glad to see that you picked them up and are really liking them. Yes they are a great and easy bud to listen to. Plenty of detailing and an overall good sound. I know I was giving my impressions a few days ago and I was mentioning some bleeding into the lower mids, but after burning them in for...

    What TWEs are there that allow you to connect with more than one device at once. I know the Jabra 65t does it, but I don’t know of any else.

    Yeah those are at the top of my list too. I’m curious to try them out. What are your thoughts or likes and dislikes about them?

    Skip the E12. I just got them and love them, but they are warm for sure with a lot of bass. Both in volume and depth. It bleeds a little into the mids so low pitched male vocals sound a touch muffled. The X12 from what I understand sound a bit different so don’t discount those until someone else...

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the 65t. It sounds kind of promising, but with a bunch of compromises. That seems to be the trend with true wireless right now. It’s vrey exciting because the technology is finally solving most of the initial problems and things are sounding good, but every...

    Yes I was looking at those. The mediocre sound is kind of a turn off. They looked decent overall. Thanks for the heads up on issues, I’ll have to look more into them. I notice you have the 65t. What is your honest opinion of those, both for the features and the sound quality?

    I’m also still in the burn in phase with the e12. The more I listen, the more I am liking them. Probably gonna set them up on a 10 hour loop of pink noise later to test battery life and burn in further. Btw, did I mention for the 50th time how comfortable they are?!

    Good tip and good to know. I have an Apple Watch and am very happy with the Spotify app and it’s controls. It definitely works well enough. I suppose the big issue would then be for answering calls and having to push the button. They work, but still a pain. I might return them, but I really do...

    I’ve been looking for a TW that fits all of my wants: touch controls, ambient mode, great sound with some extra bass, usb-c, possibly multi-device connections, etc... A few come close, but miss. To keep me waiting and patient, I picked up the Sabbat E12 and the Anbes 359. The anbes has a...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    You may be able to use the mic cable that works with the Sony MDR1A. Also, I tried a cable from a pair of beats solos and everything fit and sounded fine. I forgot to check playback controls though. You can probably get one of those in an all black color too I imagine.

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Yeah I don't know yet if this is a design flaw or a fault with your unit, but I would say that is one of my biggest issue with these headphones is that they cannot connect to multiple devices at the same time in a day and age where people own iphones, ipads, computers, and more bluetooth devices...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    There are two modes you can run the headphones in while plugged in. One mode is wired and powered on with NC, ambient sound modes, and all the touch features. The volume reaches a touch higher than wireless, but the overall sound is retained and is very similiar. Differences are very subtle...

    Sony MDR-1000X

    Yeah, it's pretty surprising right?! I underestimated how nice it is to have a pair of these for use at home.

    Sony MDR-1000X

    One thing I am very happy about is that I am using these primarily at home. I bought them for when I travel or work in a coffeeshop/busy environment, but using them at home has been nothing short of awesome. I am watching a movie with my kid with my surround setup running pretty loud. The kid is...
