Yep, looks like we were equally unimpressed. Too bad, because I think the actual design of them is pretty cool looking. I'm out and about and back doing the world travel thing, so no more TWS orders for me unless I'm in one place long enough and confident enough in my choice to AliExpress...

Welp, the EarFun Air Pro aka Edifier TWS NB2 were also a no-go for me. Couldn’t get a good deal in my right ear with any of the three tips, and after five minutes I could really notice them in there, which means I’m sure they’d be uncomfortable after a half hour. Sound seemed fine, but like I...

Ayyyy, oversensitive tragus buddies! Man, the feedback in here about the Earfun Air Pro/Edifier TWS NB2 is not giving me much hope for the pair arriving tomorrow, yikes. Especially the mentions of sibilance. Looks like I'm likely going to be stuck with the FIIL T1 XS and the ridiculous C to A...

My Earfun Air Pro show up Tuesday, right in time for me to try them for a day before I fly on Wednesday and backpack around for a year or so. Supposedly they were actually made in collaboration with Edifier, with Earfun providing their ANC algorithm in exchange for being able to sell their own...

FIIL responded to me about the USB-C issue, claiming it’s by design because USB-C to USB-C is only meant for high current devices and can damage the battery, which is misleading at absolute best, and frankly a lie if we’re gonna call a spade a spade. Any properly designed device should be able...

Having been locked into the Apple ecosystem (by choice, I do love their stuff), the ZMI dual USB-C only power bank and then Apple 30W adapter and Lightning to USB-C cable I picked up three months ago were my first exposure to USB-C. So to me at least it's a new standard, so that video was...

Hey, thanks for checking this for me. I picked up an A to C adapter, and it does work, but only with the adapter end plugged into the power bank, and even then it takes a try or two to get the juice flowing. No dice at all with the Apple 30W adapter, which has no problem charging the power bank...

I think the issue is with the FIIL case not being properly USB-C compliant. If I had to guess what's going on, when connected using a USB-C to USB-C cable, the power source tries to do a handshake to negotiate USB PD charging, and the case doesn't respond, so nothing happens. The case probably...

Hey, can any other FIIL T1 XS owners ( @regancipher @d3myz ) do me a quick favor and test to see if their charging case charges when using a cable that's USB-C at both ends? My case lights up and indicates that it's charging when I use any cable that's USB-C on one end and USB-A on the other...

it’s worth noting that the T1 Pro is actually a noticeably different form factor than the T1 X. The earbuds themselves are a cold deal smaller, which means there’s less to get in the way of the ear tip making a good fit.

Glad you got it resolved. I actually haven’t bothered with the app at all yet since they work fine out of the box. Figured I would just wait for the app to get official support for the XS before I downloaded it. According to an email I got from someone at Fiil, the updated English app with XS...

You’re killing me, man! Here I was happy with my T1 XS, and now I’m back to being jealous again...

Just got my FIIL T1 XS in today and have been playing with them over the past hour or so. They're what I was hoping for - similar sound to the T1 X before them, but with a slimmer case. These seem to have noticeably more bass than I remember the T1 X having, but definition is still great for the...

Interesting, those do appear to indeed be exactly the Edifier TWS NB2. Has Earfun ever done a rebrand like that before? I was under the impression their products were their own thing, or at least were in unique housings. That said, if they’re just a rebrand of the Edifiers, they’re still a...

Oh man, thank you for the heads up. Somehow these haven’t been showing up for me and I’ve been searching regularly and only gotten results for the third party seller that has them for $90 and not shipping for weeks. Just ordered them in white, super excited!

Anyone got the Tribit FlyBuds NC and can speak to them at all? They’re $30 on Amazon US right now and based on the Scarbir review they look like they might be the best bang for buck.

Man, I wish either the Edifier NB2 or Fiil T1XS would hurry up and hit Amazon already. I’m still hunting for a good set of earbuds under $80 that hit all my checkboxes (call quality, USB-C, compact case, good sound). Might just wind up caving and blowing the budget and snagging some AirPods Pro...

This is actually a huge feature for me. I travel a decent amount, and I have a group of friends who are regularly in online voice chats as a group. When I was in Indonesia a few months back, the time zones synced up such that they were online pretty much every night when I had a half hour walk...

Great review, but damn, now I want them even more and there’s no way I’d be able to get a pair shipped to me fore I leave in a couple weeks. Super jealous! Do they look as good in person as they do in photos? They seem to have a more “premium” glossy white finish to them as opposed the cheaper...

Mpow M30 is currently on sale on Amazon US for $26.50. Seems like a pretty great deal. If it weren’t for the supposedly lackluster call quality, I’d pick up a pair for myself. I’m still back to square one in my search. Good neutral sound, compact case with USB-C, no stems, and good call quality...

Looks like the $50 sale for the Fiil T1 XS is done, I should’ve just ordered a pair. Hell, even at $75, I’d order a pair if I knew for sure I could get them In time by the end of the month when I think I’m leaving for Turkey. Scarbir’s review showing the case being overall smaller and a cm...

Thanks, guys! Looks like Geekbuying has the new Fiil T1 XS for $49 right now... very tempting. If it weren’t for ship times to the US being such a dice roll, I’d probably just order a pair. I’d hate to be heading out to travel again in three or four weeks and not having gotten my order yet. But...

Yeah, I got the virus back in January - my first time in China and I literally wind up in Wuhan right as a new pandemic starts, go figure! So while I still wear a mask and obey whatever local regulations are in place wherever I am, I’m not hugely worried anymore and am willing to hop on a plane...

Well, after a month of trying to make them work, I’m abandoning the Aukey EP-N5 which I liked at first. After a half hour or so of wearing them at a time, they just hurt my ears too much. I was hoping I just had them in bad the first time or two it happened, but after some city walks and flights...

Galaxy Buds Plus in blue are $70 on Woot right now. Worth return the Aukey EP-N5 and spending the extra $20?
