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

    They're the only TWS and I pick up anymore, they're utterly fantastic, and their ANC is top notch for commute travel (relatively to other TWS).

    Initial impressions are good for the Aviot ZX1's. I had to change my usual instinct to use the largest tips available, as I was noticing a huge dip in the treble, but I quickly realized the silicon tips were causing the earphones to stick out too far. Once I went one size down the treble came in...

    Well, accidently tested the ZX1's noise cancelling with music on. Pretty good. Significant other was not particularly happy though.

    Mine are at least in the city I'm in, so I'll get it tomorrow.

    Yeah, sounds like similar issues that the Melomania touch 6 years ago that they never quite fixed. It got me to realize for TWS, BT connection was my #1 with sound a close second. I'm going to give a wide berth to the M100's.

    I still have trust issues from the Melomania touch which I bought on two different occasions, and returned them because the connection between the buds kept breaking both times I bought them. Great sounding and comfortable, but cheap ass case, and the massive technical issues with give me pause...

    Well, I just invested in their Indiegogo campaign for early bird pricing at 200 dollars (confirmed they ship to US for 10 bucks more). I've had success with other Indiegogo headphone buying, so why not try a company that's had several high quality releases? Apparently, they're shipping in March...

    Meh. Ergonomic nightmare for my large ears. They either fell out, or they were so deep in my ears, they were hard to pull out. They had issues with connection too where I had to restart a couple of times to get it to connect to my phone. They sounded alright, but not great.

    I got a pair of az80's, and people are really underwriting about how comfortable and stable they are in the ear. They're large buds, definitely, but having most of the weight and stabilization on the conch of your ear make them really comfortable, along with a shallower fit in ear (I'm using the...

    Yeah, we figured that if you have the Google Assistant on, only the right side stays on. If you turn off the assistant, you can use each side independently.

    The touch controls actually have some audible feedback per touch, which makes things like double tapping very easy to do.

    The foam tips are just fine, honestly. The Sedna tips I have didn't really change the sound for me. Like helmutcheese, my earholes are larger than most people's, and so having larger tips would work better for us anyway.

    So thankfully, the earbud hole for the XM4's case is large enough to support other eartips. I'm testing some Sedna Xelastec. Immediately noticed I'm able to get an easier seal just due to the stickiness of the Sedna tips.

    I think it's similar to the Galaxy Buds Pro fit. Actually put it in vertically, and rotate about 45 degrees-ish until it locks in, so the tip is much more shallow than expected.

    I've tried several times, now, and every single time I've put the right one back in the case, the connection is broken, and I cannot reconnect unless the right one is out.

    Well, I'm an idiot. Right after I posted this, I looked down and noticed there's an option for "[Ambient Sound Control] Operation Setting" that allows you to add in the ANC Off option.

    You have to manually turn off ANC in the app, the button only does ANC/Ambient. But I triple checked, if you have it turned off when putting it back in the case, and then take the buds back out the ANC remains turned off. I do not know if you don't have the app or connect to a PC though.

    Only the right earbud can be independent. However the noise canceling state carries over as far as I can tell.

    Do remember the 8 hours is only with AAC and ANC not LDAC. 5 hours with LDAC and ANC.

    Something that I caught, on first connection the headphones default to "Priority on Stable Connection", which is AAC. If you switch to "Priority on Sound Quality", it switches to LDAC.

    I mean, that technically works, I guess. But that just seems like a really shallow fit...

    Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I can only get the right bud to work independently.

    So I have the XM4's and I've listen them for about 20 minutes to make some first impressions: First thing, YMMV, but they fit MUCH better than the XM3's. They are not the most comfortable TWS I've ever wore (Damn you MT. Damn you all to hell), but they are more secure and I can get a better...
