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

    I have them. With phone calls, I notice, you have to pay attention to where the microphone port lines up. It can get blocked easily depending on how you wear them, and what ya ears look like. They also only use one side's mic but can switch to either side. A factory reset and re-pair based on...

    New LG TWS with Meridian is available. LG HBS-FN6 There's a version with UV case, without the UV case and a version with wireless charging. Actually liking the DSP, sound clear and spacious. Pretty hit or miss with the reviewers, but there's a review with graph 0db review - LG Tone Free (google...

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

    Got 2 japan specials, the new Technics EAH-AZ70w and Yamaha TW-E3A. Very surprised by the Yamaha, natural sound and warm, but not too warm. One earpiece has to be the master, it can be either, but you can't use the slave without the master. The Technics is neutral with a very deep soundstage...

    I have an Iphone XR and am on "Device Software Version" = 309467643. I don't seem to get a plugged ear feeling. Though sometimes I think foam or smaller tips can help relieve the pressure, if that seems to be building up.

    I have a pair of these too. The resolution is certainly good, but the midrange seems a bit thin and treble a bit hot. Was hoping the titanium driver burned in to a warmer sound, but was not the case. The ANC seems good and the call quality is decent. I have been trying to initiate a return...

    I got some on the way, since they're selling it for almost no middleman price of $39 on Amazon. Definitely looking forward to it, and hoping they did some QC!

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

    I have a set. They sound pretty close to the Shanling MTW100, with a bit more clarity due to the extra BA; giving it more headroom and better extension. The case is metal and fairly solid. But again, the holders where the ear tips recess into are shallow and I've found only the stock tips fit in...

    QDC - Discussion and Impressions Thread

    I actually use the peels(symbio). They make the sound cleaner. For all due respect, the included tips are pretty good. Since the mid are slightly recessed, having a harder plastic core helps keep the clarity good.

    QDC - Discussion and Impressions Thread

    The bass is good, its strong and quick, doesn't bleed into the mids. The vent holes are good as they don't let the pressure build up. I actually do have a pair. I've heard uranus before you've heard, uranus.

    The TWS + Neckband + BT Cable Adapter Thread

    Curious on the FiiO UTWS1 impression compared to the BT20S. As they look the same. I've had a lot, but needing AAC for the IPhone as a source, the FiiO RC-BT has been pretty good. It would be interesting to see which codecs are supported for each one too. It doesn't seem like the codec support...

    Mine have just as good of connection as anything out there, connected to an Iphone 10R. Walking around the house listening to music or talking on the phone, with one ear and the phone on the charger, works fine. Just my 2 cents, from my personal experience with them.

    Re-post with more detail, but these are amazing, Partron PWE-100. Very flat sound signature, with strong deep bass. The call quality is good as well. There's also an app with firmware updating functionality and EQ. The charging box is fairly small too...

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

    The Partron PWE-100 is very good if you like neutral, flat sound. Battery life is good, connectivity is good. If you're looking for some sound to put some pep in your step, probably not the best. But if you're looking for something to get you through the day, certainly may fit the bill.

    My Thai isn't all that good, so some of the descriptive language that's fairly specific, like describing how headphones sound is tricky lol. But I will try. Says the earphones are focused to music sound quality. Sound is what you would expect from a dual driver. Bass is tight, midrange is warm...

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

    Nah, I believe it's the public beta. Think the Hifiman TWS600 also went through something like this and had a second revision that was tuned differently based on the public feedback. http://www.hifiman.cn/articles/detail/477

    The guy doesn't want to comment on the sound since it's not the final version. But the eartips included are very soft and comfortable. The earbuds fit very secure and comfortable. A single tap plays and pauses. 3 taps on the left side is volume up, 3 taps on the right side is volume down. Think...

    Shanling MTW100 - True Wireless IEMs, IPX7, BT5.0 Balanced armature or Dynamic driver

    $89 looks to be the price. https://hifigo.com/collections/earphone/products/shanling-mtw100-true-wireless-earbuds-bluetooth-5-0-earphone Definitely curious about these. These guys know how to tune. And especially now with DSP and electronics at their fingertips.

    They're not. They're also tuned differently. Though the MPOW does have APTX. Tevi graph - https://www.0db.co.kr/REVIEW_0DB/719395 MPow T5 graph - https://www.0db.co.kr/index.php?mid=REVIEW_0DB&page=2&document_srl=691410 It's kind of like the similarity between the Sonicast Direm and the QCY...

    That MPOW T5 looks like the same OEM as the Lypertek TEVI. And thanks for the quick impressions!

    Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread

    Mine picks up a ton of interference too, so bad its like it can pick up radio stations. This is only occurs at work, for some reason and at home, there's not a problem. Using it with a iPhone. The interesting is the cell signal is much weaker at my work than at home so there maybe some relation...

    Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread

    Got the N3AP. Upon first listen, the first thought was this sounds a lot like the JH13FP balance wise. Then I went back to listen to the JH. They have the same on demand dynamics, like Baelander said with the N1AP. They're also more airy than the JH. The JH is more intimate also with quite a bit...

    Review: CEntrance DACport Slim DAC/Amp Combo

    This thing is seriously good. The excuse of the gain is too high so your IEM's will hiss is dismissed. You can turn high gain on and it won't hiss. No treble glare, maybe a little bass boost, and a lot of detail. Sounds good with low quality source material and even better with high. No weird...

    LH Labs Geek Out v2 Discussion Thread

    This might have already been answered, but does the v2 have the same static/bump at power on with headphones connected like the v1? Thanks

    Apple announced a new, powered Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, making portable iPhone DAC/Amp-solutions easier.

    This works with the iphone 5 and charges it too. The order you plug things in seems important for dacs that are over the power draw limit. Power connector to adapter => adapter to iphone => dac to adapter. If the phone is disconnected, you have to disconnect the dac, reconnect the phone, then...
