So what was the pr2 conclusion, did the variations kill the hype?

I’m messing with it again rn cause I realized my first impression might be messed up cause I was using that iffy cable I think the one that came with the wan’er and I was straight up not getting bass, using a 3.5 extension on the sonata basically tricks it into full power but I guess also fixed...

So I've been trying them (pr2) for a couple days and they weirdly sound the best directly from my phone(poco x3 pro), it's like the nicest shallow V shape... I have the tempotec sonata hd pro and you have to trick it with a 3.5 extension or it just doesn't give you enough power and even then...

Finally got my PR2, I’m not super experienced with IEMs but my initial impressions are that you have to spend like $300 to get this sound quality in over ears

I'm the other way around I got them both here right now but the xm4 are going back, linkbuds are like 90% the same but actually wearable for me, used the xm4 for a day and I don't even wanna try them again cause they hurt lol. Xm4's anc is a bit better but the transparency mode is much better...

Honestly idk what they can actually do to improve on the linkbuds other than finally focus on sound quality which I feel they absolutely won’t, it’ll just be a bunch of gimmick tech features. As much as I’m liking them for convenience it’s kinda ridiculous top of the line tws lose on sound...

So I got both the xm4 and linkbuds s on hand and my first impressions of the linkbuds is they’re preeetty much the same but at half the size

So I managed to get a pair for pretty cheap of a warehouse deal on amazon, wasn’t planning to use the stock foams anyway so idc If it’s slightly used. I actually like the sound, after a tiny bit of eq I got it pretty good for my taste, and the anc is really nice, specially with the wind...

qkzxhbb sounds pretty similar (a bit better imo) and it’s like $15-20

Decided I’ll wait till I see a good sale on the xm4 but I did get an A20i for a gift for like 13 bucks, also in case anyone is interested:

Ahh yes I was actually looking through your comments did you ever do that linkbuds s vs space a40 comparison? Can’t you raise the A40 bass with the app? but yeah I’m probably still going with the linkbuds between those two unless I get a crazy coupon for the a40 on that anker sale tonight...

Hmm yeah been looking at the thread too but still got a lot to read hahah, apparently there’s gonna be an anker aliexpress sale tomorrow so I’m trying to figure how good are the space a40, half decided on the linkbuds anyway unless I find the xm4 for a close enough price since those go on sale...

Hey bruvs so I have the nekocake but I think I can do better since I just got rid of my over ear bt headphones, was looking at the galaxy buds pro 2 but they seem to only be aac on non samsung phones so now I’m between linkbuds s and space a40, anyone know if it’s worth going with the sony? Or...

Same, got a tracking number but they haven’t actually shipped it lmao Tbf what I was most worried was they were trying to backtrack on the discount, I can just wait since they basically confirmed they’ll ship it when they get stock

Same, they finally shipped my PR2, I'm guessing they wanted to deal with that before the new sale

Yeah as long as it has aptx I'm happy with it anyway, I'm half worried about the pins fitting my iems but I'll just sand it if I gotta since it's so cheap lol

Yeh apparently they have a different chip but the specs look pretty much the same I'll probably just get the az09 pro in the next aliexpress sale

He guys so anyone knows the difference between the kz az15 and the az09 pro?

Did anyone that ordered with coupon get it? Mine still hasn't shipped either and I ordered the 27th, half worried they'll just let the coupon orders be automatically cancelled

They even sound fine of my ps5 controller no oomph needed

It's quite a bit brighter, less bass and more highs

Yeah who knows who came first, the lun sheng version seems to be on sale already idk about the smabat one, looks cool tho

These guys look pretty interesting, apparently they turn into in ears too, also unrelated to them but I just realized a tws with an actual EQ app might be the thing I've been looking for earbud wise
