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

    I picked up the Jabra Sport and B&O E8 to test out. E8 is really nice, after a couple hours burn in they sounded great. However, I intend to use these while working out, and the Jabra's actually had a more exciting sound, if not quite as refined. Add the more secure fit, the fact I can swim with...

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

    I'm on an iPhone8 - I tried my wife's iPhone 6+ but it did exactly the same thing. I think I'll try the Sport instead, maybe I'll have better luck. I do think it's just bad luck though. Perhaps this batch has an issue. Stinks!

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

    I got a second pair from the same place (Best Buy) and it has the same issue, albeit with maybe a 10% improvement. I had my wife try them since her head is about an inch narrower and she had fewer complaints but said it was annoying just the same. Those who have functional pairs, where did you...

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

    Thanks for the replies! I'll try an exchange first and see if it fixes the issue. Someone on Amazon was saying these both connect to the phone, but that doesn't seem right? I'd think it would show up as two devices if that were the case.

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

    I got a pair of the Jabra 65Ts today, but unfortunately the left ear piece constantly cuts in/out. Sometimes if I position it right and keep my head very still facing forward it's fine, but as soon as I look to my right or move much it'll cut out. Not sure if it's defective or if my head's full...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    Yeah, absolutely. I had the originals for about a year and these are a step up. A bit more bass, but it's better bass. The original was a little boomy, this is deeper and cleaner. Also lost the shrill highs. DM me if you have other questions, don't wanna crowd this thread with P7 talk ;)

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    I like your taste in music (Maiden, Vivaldi) - generally I don't think B&W's sound is tailored to metal very well, the heavy lows change the nature of the music. I am enjoying my P7s2 (wireless version, running wires) with Book of Souls especially, but it is a bit different than I'm used to.

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    I don't hear it myself, only if I plug in my Cayin 5 to power when using cable connection. It may be that some bluetooth devices constantly output some background signal to keep the connection alive. I dunno the technicalities though so maybe I'm full of crap :P

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    Hey there! I felt the same way about the original, but these seem to fit a bit larger and are more comfortable without stretching (which to me was a necessity on the original).

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    I went as high as the Ether C's and ended up back with the P7 wireless (running in wired mode). Yes, Ethers were more clear and higher fidelity overall, but these were more fun, comfortable (weight probably), and so much cheaper through Verizon rewards. The separation is what really separates...

    The new Solange album sounds very nice on these run through a Cayin C5 (that amp boosts the lows a little just fyi)

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    When I had the Ether C I enjoyed the Cayin C5 with it because it gives the lows a bit more oomph.

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless - Impressions Thread

    I got a pair and used them most of yesterday out of a Mac Pro and through a Cayin C5. Played a mix of flac and Amazon Prime and my usually wide variety of genres and artists. I'm coming off MrSpeakers Ether C's and then B&W P5 Wireless. I character of sound they're obviously tuned more like...

    Thanks for the thoughts! I loved the wired version, hopefully these sound just as good. How is the clamp? That was about the only downside to them for me.
