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

    Are you able to list all the different tips you included in the picture (supplier/model)? I think I need to find some alternative ones for my new Galaxy Buds.

    This. I turned in my Jabras due to unacceptable hiss on the left bud, and am looking for alternatives. MW07 has crap battery life and call quality, Senns have connectivity issues (solved??), case trouble *and* bad call quality, B&O also suffers from hiss for some users... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Looking to...

    +1 for the left-bud-leaning imaging on the included voice prompts. And yes, for the most part, it does seem to be a non-issue when listening to any real audio. +1 also for the hissing, though I specifically only get it on my left bud, and only from volume level 11 and up; below that, any...

    @SomeGuyDude Jabra is now replacing my entire unit, saying the potential problem is probably to do with the master/right earbud. And around we go... :-\

    Sorry, but no: if it where "Bluetooth interference", both buds would have it. Also, on this particular model, the left bud is not Bluetooth but NFMI. I do believe the hiss is a result of something in the NFMI implementation, and made especially apparent by some quirk of the amplification setup...

    So, update on my Elite 65T left bud hiss. Jabra sent me a brand spanking new left bud and guess what? The hiss is there, identical to a T! Only really rears its ugly head once the volume goes up a certain step (and it's the exact same step!), and is a on/off affair - meaning that if I go down...

    Yeah, your account is what is making me wonder if we're talking fault or feature. We'll see. Mine are the Active, and the hiss is strange: it just jumps up into existence once I go like from 70 to 75%, and stays constant as I go to 100%. If I then take the volume down one step at a time, it...

    Quick update on the "left bud hiss" issue on my 65T: Jabra is going to replace the left earbud (!). Here's hoping that's all there is to it. Once I get it and do some testing, I'll report back. Merry Christmas, everyone!

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. What's your take on call quality (outbound) for the MW07? And for those of you with the Senn MTWs? I've heard a recording for the MTWs (it's on Youtube) and the quality of the audio picked up by the mics seems terrible, which was one of the things that pushed me...

    Nearly impossible to get the MW07 here in Portugal, and not a great fit for gym use, from what I remember. Battery life is also pretty weak, so no dice.

    I don't think it's your ears. I just hope I can get a properly working unit on the first exchange. There's probably something tricky in the manufacturing, tuning and/or quality controlling these NFMI setups, and that works out to the relative high amounts of bad units that seem to be around...

    Hi, everyone First-time poster here on Head Fi. I've been following this thread for a while, mulling over the idea of going wireless with my audio. I do most of my listening at the gym and at the office. I value good audio reproduction, but also solid call/mic quality and the ability to...
