Momentum TWs, Audio technica's older model (cant remember model number anymore) and a couple others.

It has been a while since I wore earphones costing less than $1000. Overall I'm satisfied with the sound quality for the price paid. Being dynamic drivers you would expect a nice strong meaty bass, however they are surprisingly well controlled. Theres an emphasis on the midrange, treble takes a...

Time travel :)

Lol don’t hate yourself. I’m listening to these now and they are probably the first true wireless in ears i have been satisfied with. :ksc75smile:

Warranty claim?

Made a blind purchase on the IER-M9's. These have definitely exceeded my expectations. Tonality is on point and everything sounds quite refined, detailed and composed even at loud volumes. Cable is fantastic, flexible and kink-free as well.

Having compared both the CKR7TW and Sennheiser MTW's, I can probably say that the MTW's are superior at this stage. The CKR7TW sounds bright, but the sound signature grows on you with time (kind of like the IM04). Theres a nice tonality to the midrange and hence vocals sound quite sweet on...

Nice find, it’s been a while since they upgraded their flagship earbuds. If i’m interpreting the website correctly, release date on 19th October?

Very interesting photos. I dropped my W60's on hard pavement today too. Unfortunately they are still working fine, because I wanted an excuse to buy the IER-M9's :ksc75smile:

buy Westone W80.

I’m a little confused, does airplay for ios devices work without the need for both devices to connect to a common wifi network? I just want to stream stuff from my idevices via airplay to the poly connected to my stereo. Using stock ios music app.

Best to just leave them in storage like I did, and move on :laughing:. I too found them far too harsh to listen to with overcooked bass.

How I would like them to be of course (i.e., perfect) :grin:. I own the 1000XM2, but have never taken them out of my house (joke of the century, I know!) You get an appreciation of the noise cancelling effects, when you wear them on public transport and just leave ANC on without any music...

On the topic of harshness, does the N5005 exhibit any sibilance? :dizzy_face:

Thought I might chime in on this having owned these for a couple of months. The noise cancelling only works well for linear engine noises. Sitting at the back of a bus where the engine makes whirring noises (non-linear), the ANC struggles to adapt (max setting, optimised). It throws out...
