    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Impressions Thread

    I made it six months. Now the right-hand earpiece crackles with every step and the sound disappears every 30 seconds or so. I'll get it replaced but I can't see these getting through a 2 year warranty period.

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Impressions Thread

    Update is excellent. Sound personalization is finally more than a gimmick, it really improves width and depth and offers very precise bass control. And the volume control is fixed and no longer races up. I also got the stuck at 2 minutes bug. Just restarted the app and it was updated fine.

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Impressions Thread

    A few weeks in on these and I am loving the sound. For my taste, and for better isolation, they need foam tips. Inairs Air1 fit fine and sound good but at 10mm, they don't quite go in the case and the lid needs a push to close. So for now, I am using some 7mm tall tips that came with my old...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Impressions Thread

    I use the same Air2 Inairs I used with the Sony XM4. You need to squeeze the tips on at an angle and they stay on fine after that. They fit in the case but are long so they don't snap in and you have to make sure the pins are aligned. I decided to saw off 2 mm with a razor and they are perfect...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Impressions Thread

    Two days in with the MTW3. The sound quality is excellent. You're clearly getting far more treble if not more refinement than with the Sony WF-10000XM4 and that is very welcome although the ability to block sound can't be compared. This using the same Inair foam eartips on both pairs. Two...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Impressions Thread

    I stood by a fountain today and wind reduction mode squashed the sound of it far better than noise-cancelling.

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    All three of the pairs I've tried are the European version made in May 22. I'm wondering if my Amazon store has a bad batch.

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    I'm on my third pair of these in a month. They're comfortable enough to wear for a whole work day, the battery life is excellent and the sound is great after a bit of EQ. But the quality control is awful -play/pause function keeps breaking requiring restart in case -buds go into mono mode when...

    Sony WF-1000XM4 Impressions Thread

    I bought a returned set of WF-1000XM4s from a Belgian retailer. They had a recurrent problem where the sound would suddenly go into mono. I found a workaround on reddit - deactivate auto power off and stereo returned immediately. The only other solution was a factory reset every time. That's not...

    Official Sony WF-1000XM3 Thread - Noise Cancelling True Wireless Earphones

    My WF1000XM3s were bought from Amazon Spain, which is in the EU, and go deafeningly loud. If you're looking for better isolation, the Inairs Air1 fit perfectly and are small enough to go on the case. I was about to send them back because I was unhappy with the loose-feeling fit using the...

    Official Sony WF-1000XM3 Thread - Noise Cancelling True Wireless Earphones

    Except that it's not true. It's just something people repeat so much that they think it's true. The EU rules state only that users should be prompted when volume levels go above a certain level so that they are aware they risk hearing damage. Any actual volume limiting is the choice of the...

    Official Sony WF-1000XM3 Thread - Noise Cancelling True Wireless Earphones

    Picked these up a week ago. Sensational, if rather digital, sound and battery life... if you leave DSEE HX switched off. But I was on the verge of sending them back because I couldn't get a fit in my right ear with any of the supplied tips. The earpiece was never going to fall out but it...

    FiiO F9, F9Pro-Detachable MMCX connector,Hi-Res Audio Certified,2.5mm TRRS/3.5mm audio cable

    Third and final try with the Fiio F series for me. 1 F9 in black. Had to get the cables replaced as the finish on the mmxc plug seam was poor and rubbed on my ear. I loved these iems. Comfortable to wear for hours, sounded amazing with well-recorded music. The drivers on both earpieces failed...

    LG V20 Sound Quality

    Coming from a slightly faulty HTC 10, I thought I'd try the Italy-only LG Q8 as it has the V20's quad-dac set-up and is smaller. (It's known elsewhere as the LG V20 mini/V34 etc). It drives my HD25 I ii (70 Ohm) beautifully. And my HD600 (300 Ohm), better than the HTC 10. Buy I have a headphone...
