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

    Hi, hoping someone can help please! I haven't been following true wireless earphones, what has changed in the last 12 months? Looking for the best TW in-ears - want to keep them for a while. Currently have Earin M2 which are coming on 2 years old. Onto a 2nd pair because of battery durability...

    Still using my earin M2's nearly a year later with spinfit CP100. Really happy with them. The form factor of the buds and the case is unbeatable. Downside - dropped one of the M2's in my gym bag and that took a good 5 minutes to find..... Such an enjoyable/energetic sound. Clean and tight...

    Audioquests new Dragonfly Cobalt @TTVJAudio.com

    Wondering if there would be much difference purely for media consumption i.e. netflix, and high res DTS-HD / Dolby True HD. Already have a jitterbug with my Dragonfly Red so I don't have any noise issues. Additionally - I really dislike bright sounding DACs, HATE harsh treble which is why I...

    Audioquests new Dragonfly Cobalt @TTVJAudio.com

    Looking forward to the comparison between the DF Red and DF Cobalt. I really like the sound signature of the Red but I welcome a wider soundstage - especially for media consumption.

    The galaxy buds will be interesting to try with the cp100. The gear icon x 2018 is really comfortable due to the rounded shape but sound-wise the highs were very harsh. They're coming with my s10+ preorder, maybe they will be comparable to the RHA in terms of SQ. Early reviews say they do sound...

    What eartips did you use with the M2? Using the spinfit cp100 has transformed the M2 for me. Opened up the soundstage, tightened and cleaned up the bass and improved instrument separation. They are incredibly sensitive to fit and the eartips. The comply ones provided made them sound very muddy...

    Sure, that is annoying especially how they word it. Sounds like they're just trying to hype up their codec, likely making it seem better than it actually is. I don't think the quality of the hardware in the $120 buds is going to benefit from a codec with quality higher than that which AAC will...

    The new samsung buds have AAC though? I pre-ordered the s10 plus but I most likely will not be purchasing the buds. Was not with any of Samsung's previous TW earphones. I'm happy that they're priced competitively so there will be fewer airpods visible in public. It's basically guaranteed they...

    Do you have a case on your S9? Sometimes cheaper aftermarket cases can cause interference issues. Also try developer options >> make sure bluetooth codec is aptx. Check the audio bits per sample is 16 bits, playback quality is adaptive.

    So the Earin M2 has a power button..... I swear I must have activated it by mistake. It's touch but works well - for those rare disconnection moments instead of putting them back in the case handy to just turn on and off again.

    I ordered spinfits from amazon.com and they only took a week to arrive in the UK with expedited delivery.

    Sounds like you may have a faulty case, I wouldn't know regarding your second point - I always have transparency mode turned off. I meant just in terms of the complete product, the MTW definitely do sound more than $50 better but I don't think some of the battery issues could be fixed with...

    Wouldn't you say the Sennheiser are equally overpriced at $300? I wouldn't say they're better value than the M2 @ $250. I understand though it can be incredibly annoying when there is a big price drop and you miss it + end up purchasing an item at full price. Saying that I would probably still...

    I honestly can't see any TW as being better than the M2 for gym use right now. They have a tight bass response with the cp100 tips, perfect for the sort of music you'd want to listen to at the gym. I just EQ down the highs a touch and they're now perfect. I find the sound exciting and that the...

    Air-X have a much longer connection range over the M2 - don't they claim 100m? The battery life is also insanely good. I'd like to try them even though I'm unsure about the comfort aspect. I prefer a neutral sound which I can EQ to my liking. Unfortunately, I don't think any style of TW will...
