The test of Nuarl NT01AX (MT4 version) on the flight is surprisingly good. It took some efforts to find a best seal, but when I found the sweet spot, they isolated the engine noise as well as my Westone W60 wired IEMs. Sound was still very impressive. Tbh I could not tell the difference between them and my W60 paired with earstudio ES100 in that environment. They're definitely the best sounding (SQ and sound sig) TWEs I've tested, among mavin air-x and MW07. To me this alone is worth the price! They look a bit bulky, but I can live with that. They're very comfortable too.
After burning in, the BT range has somehow been improved significantly. Now I can walk to another room without any dropouts. They did have some dropouts in public area like in a sports arena and walk in the streets.

Also tested Sabbat E12 last couple of days. They sound slightly better than Anbes 359, but the isolation is bad. I should say they're one of the worst TW IEMs in terms of isolation. All the stock tips don't fit my ears well. I have to go with Sony hybrids. So Anbes 359 are still my gym/yard buds. I know it's not fair to compare the SQ of E12 with NT01AX. NT01AX is superior in every frequency range, even the amount and quality of the bass. Gonna return E12.

Another impression T8 gets extremely loud, you have to be careful. No controls for volume control. Switching to AAC is better than SBC, but some connectivity issues. Again, all are early impression. Will post detailed impressions later. Not bad for $12.

Hum, that sounds like bad news, it seems odd there would be different versions of a cheap device like this. Triple taps won't let you control the volume ?

Someone asked for info about the Bose 700 earbuds. See below.

I REALLY want those. Wouldn't be surprised if Sony came out with a WF-1000XM2 as a counter-punch, even earlier than Bose (to suck up some of the market share).
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 for sure as I really like the Sony sound.

I've enjoyed the Sabbat x12pro for a while (for what they are), and decided to give the E12 a try. Clarity is a lot better, but with that seal there is way too much bass for my tastes. It's great for very low volume listening, however, where bass usually tends to suffer. I wonder if I could switch to a smaller tip size (I use the largest now) and induce a break in the seal to lower the bass?
ever consider EQ it? I do it on every headphones I own including BT ones. Though I never use streaming apps, I only listen to files on the phone so EQ is easy on those apps.
