SONY NW-ZX500
I had the similar issue after letting the battery go flat for a few months. Turns out even though the orange light was turning on with my 1A charger, it wasn’t actually charging. A hour on my 2A laptop charger brought it back to life.- mtl171

Earbuds Round-Up
I dont recall seeing these but something about the bent metal loops just screams Sony industrial design in a way I can't resist :)- mtl171

Earbuds Round-Up
I really interested. They remind me of a more open AirPod. 5.5 hour battery life is a bit of a bummer but the ring design is quite intriguing. Seems like it’d be a nice compliment with ANC headphones.- mtl171

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Thanks for the tip. Lack of touch controls is definitely a bit concerning. Shame the noise canceling doesn’t work too well irl.- mtl171

Thanks for the recommendation! The 1More has me intrigued especially with the price and their claim for 40db of NC. I honestly never even considered that ambient mode wouldn't be available during phone calls. Bonephones were ordered bit earlier in the day, though I'll keep these in mind if I end...- mtl171

Pass through is still there. Its just really not great compared to the APP. Though I also haven't experienced anything matching the APP in pass through so may be the exception rather then the norm.- mtl171

CA MT are going back to Amazon. When they paired they were fantastic, but when they didnt...😡I also realized I missed the fantastic passthrough on the APP, so likely going to look into some more open options like earbuds or bone conduction.- mtl171

Sony IER-M9 impressions thread
I ended up selling my IER-M9. As a complete package, it is without a doubt the most impressive IEM I own in terms of being tuned well, having flawless technicalities, with a build to match. However, several small things like the shell putting pressure on my concha, a uncomfortable ear seal no...- mtl171

The liberty 2 pro and the t1xs were also on my short list based on comments in this thread. Ultimately ended up with the Cambridge audio as the amps and design appealed to me more. Between the soundcore and fiil, which did you prefer?- mtl171

Oof. Thats rough. The connection definitely is hit or miss vs APP almost always working. I have been wary of glitches so keeping the box on hand for a return. It definitely is warm even after I crank the bass down. The touch controls are a mess. I had a similar issue with the volume so disabled...- mtl171

I recently picked up the melomania touch for $90 and have to say I'm super impressed. Out of the box on performance mode they sound (tuning and technicality wise) close to the Fiio FD1 (my favorite IEMs around the $50 price point). Coupled with the fact that they EQ decently and they're...- mtl171
