Well anyone notice any gremlins in the Bose app? Tried my buds today after not using since Sunday. Left earbud is dead. App shows both earbuds fully charged at 100 at the same time the left one is dead. Hmmm. Hoping this is user error

darn... did it break when you're using it or when you were detaching the IEM from the cable?

Broke off while detaching Shouer Tape.

Whenever new TRN products starting to tempt me to press a buy button, I have to stare at 3 broken TRN stuff on my desk to counter balance my desire.

Have you tried to get a refund from the seller, or start TRN RMA for repair?

I did with two other TRN DOA items ( a cable and Bluetooth module) and found the RMA process totally useless. They asked me to take few long videos to prove that items were non functional and after I did all that they offered little discount on same products. Like WHAT?

So I pay for two items for one working product? What kind of math is this lol. I just stopped buying their stuff.

Broke off while detaching Shouer Tape.

i always detach mmcx by using my nails to pinch and pry the connecfor instead of pulling the cable, because i alway fear that the connector would have a stronger grip than the cable strength. using mmcx prying device like the Final audio assist would also helped. i personally never use it (my fingernails are sufficient ) but my friends seems to like it



for the broken ones, you could save them by replacing the connectors or the cables also like what @assassin10000 did to his unit

Yipe!, that's no good. Too bad, I was thinking of trying that TRN BT20s... from Linsoul I think, yup - perhaps Linsoul or your seller can help?

I didn’t pull the cable. I was pinching between the connectors and TRN side separated. You are looking at the picture after I tried to re solder new mmcx connector I bought.
Wish I had that mmcx tool tho.

Anyone have a long-term review of the Fiil T1X?

I've been eyeing this for a while and it seems highly recommended.

However on Amazon, there are so many negative reviews of buds dying prematurely and overall QC issues.

I think you're better off with the 1XS at this point? It's smaller and newer, and I think the in-App "prompt language change" thing only applies for the T1XS (correct me if I'm wrong - the T1X was sold in Chinese and English prompt versions AFAIK).

That said, I it does look like the older T1X comes with a sturdier case tho (the T1XS one is rather flimsy).

The T1XS auto pause was too sensitive for me but that could be a function of my ears. It’d occasionally pause when I opened my mouth.

i notice as well that if you use the largest wing tips they provide, it’s a struggle to put that into the case.

I’ll stick with my T1X.

You can literally turn that function off TBH (mine is off because if one bud is out it's going into the case anyway). Haven't noticed the wingtip issue, but I'm still on the default sized ones (+ Sony Hyb tips however).

Also XS has monitor mode which can be kinda useful (sometimes?). But that is a pretty subjective pro.

But the lid not being spring loaded? Now that's a pretty obvious con on the XS (at least until I got used to it). I wonder if the X case had a spring loaded lid.

It is spring loaded but is not particularly strong.

Ahahaha

RELATABLE

I've been fortunate as far as QC goes. 2 of 4 TRN products died but due to my error, not TRN's.

One pair BT20 went through the wash and killed the batteries. The other was a pair of BT20S that I tried to rotate the connector around 180°, the bent end of the spring wire that is about 2mm long caught and broke a wire inside.

What, so the the Huawei FreeBuds Pro supports dual device connection? I'll seriously consider them then.

edit: They don't support APTX, so the dual connection feature is basically useless if you wanted to pair them with a PC, SBC is just too awful.
