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

    Hey, don’t know if these are any good, but there’s a deal on the Monster Clarity Airlinks 101 (the one that has a case that looks like a pocket bottle of AXE body spray). They’re $40 right now and they come in green ( also blue and black). That green was too much for me to resist...

    Rank the True Wireless IEMs you've heard

    On pure SQ: 1. Senn MTW 2. M&D MW07 (very close SQ but so much better in almost every other way than the Senns) 3. Earin M2 (much better if you throw away the stock complys and put Spinfits on them) 4. Soundcore Liberty Lite (at $40 they were unbeatable, but they broke. Wish they still made...

    So, been away for a while. Seems like, from reading, the MW07+ and Senn MTW still rule the roost, SQ-wise. Is that true? I have the original MW07. Is the difference between them and the MW07+ noticeable from an SQ standpoint? I get the ANC, and BT5, and the battery, and the case, and the...

    Left both MW07 and MTW alone for 8 days with a full charge. MTW is on 1.25 firmware. Plugged both cases in. MW07 buds and case showed fully charged in less than 3 minutes. MTW is at 45 min and counting, still charging. So that problem is not “fixed.” BUT the IEMs themselves weren’t dead -...

    I think it's an ear shape thing for me and the E8s - I tried every tip I've ever seen. It didn't matter what tip I used, they still sounded thin and anemic. If I held my ears out and forward just right, they sounded really good, but then I would let go and back to the anemic thing. I posted a...

    Let me know on that MW07 tip - I'll give it a shot. I have tried Spinfit CP100Zs, comply comforts and isolations, and Spiral Dots, and still the MTW sound better to me. Partly just a better seal, so I get the point about holding the MW07 just right and hearing the potential. But FWIW I had...

    They don't look like them, but those talking points sound just like the Zolo/Soundcore (Anker) playbook. Same "graphene driver," same 5hr/25hr, same "auto pairing."

    I agree with this 100%. MTW are definitely more sibilant than MW07, but I'd say isolation on the MTW is better. At least for me, I can wear the MW07 using the wings as support, so the tips don't have to wedge so tightly against my ear canal like the MTW and most IEMs. So the resulting...

    Nothing on the IOS app itself or the App Store.

    Probably won't help but did you try the full 30+ second reset? I did that and it helped a lot with the "won't turn off when charging" issue.

    Yeah, if it keeps up I will pull a ticket and then sell them on case replacement. I'm tired of the build issues with these things, and unlike the MTW, the M2 don't sound good enough to ride them out.

    My point was that the MTW app EQ makes huge differences in the sound, not just "tweaks." And that I forgot about it...:beyersmile:

    I would stay away from that larger diameter. My son can testify that even 1/2mm is enough for a tip to be too loose and get lodged in your ear. That was not fun.

    Pretty sure it's not fit, and certainly not seal. I love the MTW sound, but it's the dead opposite of softer to me. MTW is much harsher, more aggressive, more sibilant, more "angry" to use a weird word. MW07 is smoother, calmer, more blended and soft, just more "chill" overall. The bass on...

    This is fascinating. I would flip 1-3 100% around. The MTW is almost too harsh on treble for me-much harsher than the MW07. The have so much snap that cymbal crashes almost hurt. And the MTW are both more granular and more fatiguing, both due to the treble and the fit, which is OK but...

    All of this is totally subjective but I would absolutely buy a “fixed all problems” MTW for $300 over the M2 at $250 without any thought whatsoever. In most cases, they sound more than $50 better. Same for MW07. But at this point there’s no such thing so you have a point. At least for me...

    If you can wait, the M2 are the best overall deal in my opinion when on sale for $175 as they were just after Christmas. At current price ($250) they're not your best bet. Under Airpod price there are a lot of fans of the Mavin AirX which is available on Amazon for $130 or so. If you read...

    This post makes me feel much better about not knowing which of the M2, MTW and MW07 to get rid of. I actually met a person who also has the E8s over the weekend. He had the black ones. i have had 2 pair of the grey. His sound different from either one of mine. I still have my second pair...

    I think it looks like the sink area in a high-end gentleman's club. I keep expecting a dude to hand me a washcloth for a tip.

    Nice pics! Maybe it is a grey terrazzo thing. BTW, your grey terrazzo part seems a lot more “complicated” than mine. A little jealous, honestly. But the fact that they are so different really accentuates the whole “hand made” thing.

    No - Senn better get going to fix all the stuff they say will be fixed by the end of the month. MTW case still has drainage issues. I don't know about the 'crackle' because I never heard it, and as far as my colleagues are concerned, it's the second best sounding for calls behind the MW07. My...

    I mean, you can’t go wrong with any of them. They’re all 3 significantly better than anything else I have tried, and they’re all bunched together really close. So it comes down to signature preferences, as well as the physical stuff like the issues with Senn’s case, the design etc. When...
