    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Love mine! Apple Music Lossless and running them with Dekoni Sheepskin Earpads (I like a little extra thump), Meze Silver Plated Balanced Cable (4.4mm), and an iFi hip-dac2. I'll probably order the Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin Earpads and test those out as well. :L3000:

    Brief impressions on the JBL Tour Pro+. Really digging these things. CASE A little larger, but feels and looks slightly more premium, but similar overall. BUDS The JBL Tour Pro+ are about the same size, but a little different shape. They fit me well and have a more secure fit than the JBL...

    Yep, I've been eyeing the JBL Tour Pro+ as well. I still have the JBL Club Pro+, which is what is preventing me from picking them up, because basically, I almost have what I perceive to be the same thing! However, it does appear the fit may have improved with the fins and the overall design...

    Thanks for the feedback on the MW08 (thought about picking those up as well). I just picked up the XM4 and am trying to get a good fit. The L tips seem to work the best, so long as a smash them down first. Compared to the XM3, the build of the XM4s are definitely better and feel well built...

    A little late to the party, but thanks for the feedback. I just ordered a pair today for order pick up at Best Buy, so we'll see! I had the PI3 when it was on sale at Costco and thought it sounded great, however, the design was a bit fussy with fit, so I ended up returning it. If the PI5...

    Tidal Masters & MQA Thread!

    I just ran into this on YouTube. I found it very interesting. I current have Spotify and added Apple Music back on a promo ($10 for 3 months). While their upcoming lossless tier is attractive, I'm more curious regarding Spatial Audio with music.

    I've been waiting for B&W to release a TWS that sounds like the P7W, which are STILL one of my favorite headphones. Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer.

    Just got around to pulling the trigger on the MTW2. So far, so good. Does anyone know, precisely, what the "High-End Sound Tuning" does? It seems as though it may be hardware based, given it notes battery life is impacted. Enjoying them so far with "High-End Sound Tuning" activated. Sitting...

    I returned my GB Pros for the same reason. They don't sound bad by any means, but they definitely sound "regular". Also, with audio off and ANC on, a whooshing sound began to occur in the right earbud.

    I originally purchased them when they were $150+ and enjoyed mostly everything about them except for the fit (at the gym) and some mixed feedback as it relates to phone calls. That being said, I enjoyed the sound, just the quirks at that price point turned me off. For $20 bucks or so? I'll...

    They look super sexy, especially compared to V1. https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/usa/en/products/headphones/melomania-touch

    They are very similar. The new Sport Earbuds are basically a refined version, still semi-open, and may sound slightly better (going off memory, don't have the SSF any longer). Some people say the fit is not as good, but personally, they fit me fine for workouts.

    The box says "sweat and water resistant", however, it doesn't actually disclose a rating. Apparently "Ray" at Customer Support says it's IPX4. Odd it's not actually listed, but then again, they don't list AAC either.

    I think so. Bose still has the best sound stage and probably the best for movies, etc. but the JBL still have the technical advantage. Best Buy has them in stock and also have their extended holiday return policy just in case.

    Comfort/Sound combination is absolutely fantastic. I still think pure audio quality goes to the JBL Club Pro+, however, after a few hours, the plastic does make my ears a bit sore and I need a break. I can wear both the QC and Sport earbuds all day long. That being said, I do crave the Bose...

    I'm pretty sure 15 months is out of warranty, but hey, customer service-wise, never hurts to see if they're willing to do it, even if it's a deeply discounted cost. Are you still using the MTW in your rotation? There are some great options out there now that won't break the bank.

    Looks like the same shell & case variant as the Cleer Ally Plus but with better specs and full touch controls. Very intriguing, as I was initially looking at the Cleer a while back.

    Nice. How did you get an invite to review? Amazon?

    I don't know, friend, I'm a little iffy on the whole package. I like how they play up "8mm polyethylene terephthalate drivers". You mean, PET, like my water bottles? LOL. The review almost sounds like a puff piece, as if the PROS and CONS are geared to justify its shortcomings. I don't...

    No app for the MW07. As far as app support goes, the JBL app is pretty good. They really stepped up their game with the Club series. I have the on-ear Club 700 and over-ear Club One, both of which (sound wise) are at the front of their respective classes. JBL has always disappointed me until...

    No echo at all. Been watching a lot of news coverage today and sync on YouTube is great with no audio anomalies.

    I am enjoying the JBL more than the Bose. The Bose are great, but the JBL sound more "hi-res". Plus, the EQ is very customizable and the drivers can handle whatever you throw at them. Given the 75t is really good and some say sound better, I'm a little lukewarm on the 85t, especially given I...

    No, there is no multi-point. They auto connect via AAC when I pair them with my Galaxy phone. No aptX.
