Very interested in how these end up after some burn in, and how they compare to other Chi-Fi units!!

Look at people's signatures. Most have their favorites listed or link to their review sites

I believe that while it's USB type-C, it doesn't support PD, so those chargers will have issues (might be more general on type-C chargers vs USB A). That's a pretty common issues with USB type-C devices

No sibilance, just lots of clarity. Bass isn't impactful but still present and better than on other non-Knowles BA's. Read my review for more details. But you're going to love them!

Ditto - I love my Shanling's as well (if my previous posts haven't been obvious to that fact) :ksc75smile::dt880smile::L3000::beyersmile:

Standard is dynamic driver and professional is balanced armature. Shanling has the same split but uses different drivers (and newer chipsets I imagine as the O5 is about 1-2 years old now). I've reviewed the BA version of both

It works either with music or without (possibly even without a Bluetooth connection? Never tried) If you have music playing, when you turn it on it quiets the music by 10-20% and let's the external sounds pass through using the mic. It has some internal algorithm that adjust the sound level of...

It uses the mic. Works really well. More details in my review

I don't believe they're rebranded. I think they're using the same shell, but the internals are different. Shanling was taking about how they were choosing the different drivers, tuning them, and figuring out the touch controls.

Lol I wouldn't say that I'm in love with them... But I really do enjoy their sound :) The earphones of the Shanling MTW100 and the mifo O5 are identical in size. The cases are very different though and my preference is for the Shanling case. I don't think it makes sense to have both BA models...

Not sure if this was posted, but Gamesky just came out with the review of the KZ E10. Seems like sound quality is great but quality control and connectivity issues abound. Guess the BT20S + KZ ZS10 are a better buy at this point...

The O5 case is a little bulky and heavy, but it's shape really makes up for it. It's way more pocketable than the Mpow T5, but less so compared to Anbes 359 or Shanling MTW100.

Can't comment on the KZ T1, but just wanted to say that the Shanling MTW100 BA is superior to the mifo O5 Professional. The Shanling has better bass response, more pocketable case, and audio passthrough to say the least. I do a more thorough comparison in my review (see signature)

I suspect that even in the case of the lypertek you mention, they act as master/slave. Easy way to check: listen to music with them in your ears and then fully cup one ear with your hand (this should interfere with the signal and cut out the music), then cup the other ear. If each war cuts out...

To reach their own. I do agree the Anbes sound more open and airy but I prefer the sound signature of the T5 overall. What I don't prefer is the case of the T5's - ridiculously huge....

I would give the crown to Mpow T5 for that. They're both great but the T5 has stronger bass, tends to be more clear on aptX, and somewhat more polished overall.

So seems like this is old news, but I just realised that Mpow has a T6 model... Anyone tried them? How do they compare? C$ 45.74 40%OFF | Mpow T6 Bluetooth 5.0 TWS Earphone Wireless Handsfree Earphones Mini Earbuds IPX7 Waterproof With 21H Playtime Touch Control New...

I have a feeling these will be under your price range, but Mpow T5 or Tranya B530.

You mean like Pringles? One you pop you can't stop... at just one TWS :o2smile::k701smile:

I did find the Knowles BAs needed quite a bit of time to burn in on my Shanling's (maybe 30+ hours when I stopped hearing differences). I think that's pretty standard for most BAs. How did you find the DD's?

I regularly use the MTW100 BA for phone calls and it works great. I love the BA sound signature for hearing voices clearly. Have yet to compare it in detail. That said, for calls where I need to be very active on,I still use wired headsets.

Don't have the Bowmaker, but my smallest shell is the Shanling MTW100. It's even noticeably smaller than the 359. For the 359 try for Kissral R18. By all accounts they're the same thing.

The Shanling and the Sabbat are completely different. The Shanling MTW100 BA has a very neutral sound profile, and from what I know if the Sabbat, they are very bass heavy. I would put the Shanling even farther away from Sabbat than the Mpow. I think it's an excellent purchase and you'll love...

I have the Mpow T5 and Shanling MTW100 BA. I know the Tevi is a more audiophile tuned version of the T5. If that's what you're looking for,I would suggest the MTW100 BA. 1. It uses a Knowles BA driver so you'll get better clarity (and since Tevi doesn't have much bass, you're not missing that)...

The BA version is definitely more audiophile tuned (assuming you mean neutral tuning). I believe even Shanling mentioned that. Also, they're focusing on the BA version, which is why DD is only on white and doesn't have Qi charging.
