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

    Oh noooooo! The Noble Fokus Mystique are great for music but don’t get enough use already. Now there’s an upgrade version??

    I agree with most of those, although I thought the low/mid sound was actually a little too pronounced for me on first listen, which is why I’ve been playing with the EQ. It is really funny how hard it can be to pull the headphones out of the case sometimes, too. That said, these are probably the...

    The Mystiques are loud. Really loud. Good sound but yo they blastin’, I’ve been using the EQ to drop the volume so I can get more granular control.

    Just received my Noble Mystiques. First impressions: These mothers are LOUD. I nearly blew the top of my head off when I first paired and hit play. I’m keeping them at maybe 25% volume, most of the other headphones I use are more like 40-50% With the default tuning, you can tell that they have...

    Wow, I have the absolute opposite impression. The APP2 sound a little bit better but the improvement isn’t that stark. The ANC improvement is spectacular. I flew with my APP2 last week and they were really impressive. Very very close to the Sennheiser MTW3 (in fact, I’d probably call it a toss...

    You guys are killin’ me, I miss my e36 vert, which I had to let go after it hit 150k miles and was starting to cost me $5-10k a year in repairs.

    Wait, the EX have multi-pairing? I can’t even get them to pair reliably with my iPhone, let alone with another device.

    The EX sound good, but their ANC is pretty poor and I’ve had pairing issues with mine that are extremely annoying. MTW3 has excellent ANC but I don’t love their sound. It’s a little too laid back for me, and the app doesn’t give much in the way of correction options. Also, I can’t tell you how...

    While driving. One of my primary use cases for ANC IEMs is to take calls while I’m commuting, which happens unfortunately often. In this case, I was driving on mostly empty freeways fairly late at night, so I could actually pay more attention to the sound and ANC capabilities. I love my Miata...

    I think you might be making the case for me to return both MTW4 and EX and get a set of FoKus instead. I used my CL2 with the bluetooth cable as my wireless set for several years, and passive isolation was just fine. I’ve been jumping on the ANC bandwagon just because curious, mostly.

    This is exactly how I feel about the Senn sound overall, really. I just don’t dig their “laid-back” sound sig.

    So I tried both while driving tonight… the EX were okay, they’re definitely better for music but the ANC is strictly so-so. The MTW3 has really damn good ANC. I even tried putting the top down and the MTW3 handled wind noise incredibly well — this is exactly the test that made me give up on the...

    So my replacement MTW3 units arrived from Amazon this morning, and the popping and weird sounds on the R earbud were definitely a defect in my original set. I don’t hear that at all with the new ones. Unfortunately, my Beoplay EX also came in this morning, and out of the box, they sound MUCH...

    I really liked the AZ60 except their ANC with respect to wind noise was just nowhere near good enough for me. Otherwise, they’re a fine set of TWS. The MTW3 seem like they have better ANC except for my apparently defective right side.

    I ordered mine from Amazon, so I could just send ‘em back there. You think it’s better to try to get a replacement from Senn?
