I guess the artifacts are similar to the ones i keep hearing everyday on my way to work, probably due to poor high frequencies reduction At this point guess ill have to use them with ANC OFF on the road, while with ANC ON in trains and indoor, until creative may eventually try to fix it somehow…

Understood. If you / anyone ever have the chance to try ANC close to outdoor voice announcement to check if you have same problem, maybe it can be somehow brought to creative attentions. Else, my pair is faulty!:(

Generally yes, but my experience with Huawei Freebuds Pro 2 and 3 is much much better than with Creative. But can live with it. What it is instead a big NO for me is that it captures these high pitch sounds from voice announcements in a way to pierce my ears… Not sure if anyone has the same issue.

How about ANC for creative ace 2? I find it very subtle, plus wind reduction is non existent and the mic are picking up very high sounds (like high pitch glitch in one ear or the others) especially when close to street voice announcement…

For the sake of anyone, i got the Aptx Adaptive to work only by doing factory reset of the DAP after last firmware upgrade.

For the sake of anyone having the same problem, by doing a factory reset of the DAP Hiby M300, the adaptive aptx gots useable!:)

I have a similar problem. I create an EQ on my Creative app account, on my iphone. When i go to my Android DAP, same Creative account, the EQ i created on my iphone is nowhere to be found… In any case, it looks like it got uploaded in the Ace 2 on my iphone, since when i open on my DAP the EQ...

Had same trouble. It solved with a restart, for me.

Thanks. I also report a boomy bass. I changed the onboard EQ decreasing lower frequencies a bit (screenshot) and it slightly fixed the issue. Thinking of doing a better parametric EQ in poweramp but until i fix the issue of codec, i’ll wait. Just for my knowledge, can you connect via Aptx...

Thanks for the tips, i’ll try to contact Creative tech support then.

I also have FBP2 and Ace2. I just tried quickly on my iphone, and at a glance i preferred the Ace2. Instead, on my Hiby M300 DAP, i can’t have them to connect via aptxHD or Adaptive…just Aptx, not sure why. :( Built quality, Huawei hands down

I went for the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 which have all you ask beside LDAC. Despite that, in my M300 i can only pair them with aptx. In bluetooth setting i can switch HD audio ON/OFF in between SBC (OFF) and AptX (ON). When i go to the audio bluetooth settings, only Aptx audio is selectable, all...

That’s strange…:( to me is constantly going down. I’ll be resetting it and restart from scratch and see if it helps then…

Wifi and BT were OFF. What is your usual standby battery degradation?

Anyone having battery drain? Left the M300 with screen off and no app open, it discharged 10% in 1h.

I had the same problem with library scanning in Poweramp, 8000songs scanned in about 40mins… very slow, even compared to old Sony A105. :(

Hope in a short review/comparison!:)

Actually i have also freebuds pro 3. Compared to the fb2, i believe only ANC and voice during call is improved…so i guess comparison above vs ace 2 still stands true.

Clear enough, thanks! One last info: with the Ace 2, can you switch ANC and Transparency ON/OFF via touch control? Does it have multipoint connection?

Thanks! What do you mean by more advanced sound? Do you think wear detection and improved control can be added via firmware upgrade?

Is it in the plan?

Im currently willing to switch from freebuds pro 2 to creative aurvana ace 2. Anyone confiming it could be a small upgrade? Do creative have wear detection?

Great! How about aptx lossless? Just for info

I am wondering to change my sony 106 to the Hiby M300! Can anyone confirm if and/or when the aptx is already available in firmware? Anyone knows which aptx will be supported? Only HD or also adaptive/lossless?

Has Sony a306 APTX adaptive capability? Or only aptcHD and LDAC (and lower)?
