Unfortunately it doesn't work when plugged in. It only comes to life when I plug it in doing the factory reset, and even then it doesn't behave normally i.e. doesn't work. It only flashes the led and plays the chime at 2x the speed/pitch, but it doesn't react to input or connect via bluetooth...

My 2018 ES100 v1 decided that it doesn't want to turn on anymore. That said, it's not dead, when I do the factory reset (4 buttons + insert USB) it comes on and the green led flashes quickly 2x, followed by single long red flash, then off and back to 2x green... this should mean that it's...

Without going through 100's of pages, after one year since launch has Shure finally decided whether they will/will not be offering red filters as an accessory to anyone who wants them? I get they want to sell more product but as an SE846 gen 1 owner who finds them pretty bland compared to some...

I love that snot mark on the earcup, thanks for the macro shot!

EDIT double posting

No worries. I'm curious to hear real end users' experience since I expect more objective feedback. My main concern right now is whether the new Sennheiser owners made compromises which will impact the build/sound quality. They made the pricetag lower than the v3 so clearly something had to give...

Did you get to demo them, if yes how long did you have them on loan? From the tone of your post it sounds like you clearly had a chance to hear them already.

Judging by the number of posts under Sony WF-1000XM3 (which let's be honest are an inferior version of this model) I'm guessing these earphones are simply not fashionable enough and they're not an alternative to an Apple product hence they don't appeal to herd mentality of mass market.

You did tho, "2012 technology in 2020"

Straight connector is the worst for out and about applications.

Since there's not much info on these here I've decided to start a new thread with my impressions of these after 3 weeks of use and roughly 150 hours of play time. I'm coming to these from Shure SE846's combined with EarStudio ES100 bluetooth receiver/DAC which I still use and love. After 150...

You need at least 99% seal to properly enjoy the SE846's. I can't stress this enough. If you look on here my first post was me saying how crap the SE846's sound vs the SE535LTDJ (Japanese limited edition) which I lost and which I combined with custom sleeves made by ACS. SE846's were...

Question for Andy, when are you going to relaunch custom silicone IEM sleeves.

OH GREAT! Another new no-name pop up outfit potentially following the same pump and dump and jump onto another ship scenario of which I've seen quite a few in the past. Regards Happy ES100 customer/owner.

I'm not interested in dongles/wired dacs/amps. I don't like to carry unnecessary bulk in one package. Been there/done that/not interested. That's why BT is the only option. The app in question is, as per my original post, youtube.

Thanks, so this is another reason why getting rid of headphone jack was a stupid decision. Reason I wasn't aware of when I jumped into ES100 (to be honest I had no option, being an iPhone user).

I'm on an iPhone.

This doesn't do the trick I'm afraid... And it's pretty random in its behaviour (i.e. I'd expect bigger lag from higher buffer when in fact it makes it better... sometimes. Sometimes it makes it worse).

Thanks very much, appreciated.

Does anyone know how I can reduce the audio lag on youtube (YT through an app on iPhone). It's not massive, roughly 0.5 sec but it's annoying.

They are obviously different size so a different use case scenario. Build quality will be different too. For me ES100 is not perfect but is good enough, especially in USB DAC mode using 48kbit mode with macOS. If my iPhone had a decent built in DAC (and a headphone jack obviously) I'd never...

Luck you, I had 3 I think, all unusable.

Out of curiosity did they managed to make you a good pair of custom sleeves? My experience with them was frankly embarrassing, for them not for me. ACS on the other hand were always fantastic, it's a shame they decided to stop making sleeves.

Yes, I've had no issues connecting it and using with Skype for Business on Win10 Enterprise. The only thing that sucks is that every time there a system event notification sound during the call it mutes the call completely while playing the sound.

Depends which codes you listen over BT, LDAC allegedly sounds as good as wired. But to me the iPhone BT codec vs using as USB DAC with 48kbit on macOS, the difference is night and day.
