Hey,so I have the Xiaomi Airdots-which have 7.2mm drivers and a DSP(according to the specs at least) I don't know about the impedance. Now I found those earbuds which I really like but according to their specs they have 6mm drivers and no mention of DSP. https://www.emag.bg/slushalki-phili...&X-Section=search&X-MB=0&X-Search-Action=view
https://www.philips.com.sg/c-p/TAT2205WT_00/2000-series-in-ear-true-wireless-headphones
so I was wondering are they gonna sound better just because they are phillips and they are more expensive(so you know better quality materials and drivers) or is it just smaller drivers worse sound? Which ones do you think will sound better Airdots which are cheaper but the specs are better on paper or the Phillips? which are more expensive with lower specs on paper?

You may ask in wireless IEM thread, bunch of experts there.

My personal recommendation is Moondrop Sparks $89USD for wireless IEM or if looking cheaper option KZ SKS($26USD on Aliexpress)

ok thanks I asked them. I mean the monodrop sparks are too expensive and I don't like the design which is also an important part sо I might go with the KZ. I mean they are not the best design as well but they are ok and the audio seems like really high quality.

Also how are they so cheap? I mean on paper the audio seems like it will be something 100 dollars earbuds would produce? Are you sure the audio is that good and it's not a scam? I mean do they live up to their specs?

KZ is a Chinese IEM company based in Shenzhen, and Dongguan China. That's the world's largest manufacturing area.

Yea, I have 20 years of audiophile history, 200 IEM/Headphones/Earphones, from $5 IEM to something that I need to sell my kidney to purchase.

For that KZ SKS when plugged to AptX, it hosts 70/100 quality of which most of the sub $100 IEMs struggles around 20-60s out of 100 regardless of wires/wireless.

SKS is one the latest IEM that KZ released and this company starts to learn from their 7 years of experience in this industry to how to tune IEMs, or maybe it's just a good miracle hit because I have 20 of KZ's IEM and most of them are just tuned extreme V-shape, harsh-sounding one.

Ok I get it they are really cheap because they are basically based at the source of the electronic world. Well ok they seem like they have really nice specs and you say that as well so if they live up to that I am definitely purchasing them I don't think I am going to find such good sound with stylish look anywhere else

Yea I can guarantee for $30 you won't find any better tuned IEM (wireless)
Good luck and looking forward to your impression!

P.S.
Black thin-skinned bass boost type ear after market ear tips are recommended for SKS.
