Yes, you have a wired digital connection to your case, about as high-res as you can get, but you are listening wirelessly out of your buds. The question I have is what codecs does the case support? If it is aptx adaptive or higher then that's a pretty cool thing.

From their site it looks like it's the same as their other stuff before, meaning it becomes a transmitter. I don't know how they would do Bluetooth to Bluetooth, but then would it be aptx adaptive from an analog source? Sorry to pour cold water on this, but it looks like more of the same of...

Just wondering if you tried any other LDAC connection in that store. Perhaps someone else more knowledgable can chime in but I do know bluetooth interference is a thing. I have an e-bike kit motor that is configured over bluetooth and have found it very slow and difficult to connect when out on...

The regular ZX PNK is on Amazon US And I guess the ZX1 will eventually get there. But it looks like they're selling as much as they can manufacture now so unless they want to become an international company then my guess is what they do is wait till they have a back stock problem and have...

Ft Just wondering where you saw Airpods Pro 2 for $89 on Amazon. I only saw Airpods 2 (not pro) for that price.

That's sad. I guess I'm doubly lucky to have bought them off of Indiegogo, where the 1-year warranty is stated without conditions. Having said that, if I lost mine tomorrow I would buy them directly from Japan, warranty be damned.

I kind of understand the trepidation given that we in the US have been so spoiled by Amazon. But all the talk about Aviot being a gamble does not make sense to me. They are a young Japanese company who have a clear Mission statement that happens to be very Japan-focused. Given the value of what...

From Tokyo -> To choke you 😂 But for a second there I thought my kid had interrupted me.

I was fortunate to get them at the early bird price, but there is nothing close, even at list. My cousin is coming back from Tokyo tomorrow and I nearly texted him to pick up another pair, the PNK

There used to be another tier but it isn't showing anymore. Indiegonegone.

I read this interview shortly before the ZX1 was released. At that point I wasn't sure I was going to keep them, but this sold me. I can now verify that the quality and attention to detail he spoke of is accurate. https://www.gizmodo.jp/2024/03/aviot-te-zx1.html

Aviot seems like a stand-up company. I had a config related glitch and got a good human response plus a follow-up. When they released the product from the indiegogo everybody got it overnight shipped from Japan. Most importantly, I haven't heard of anyone with real problems.

I missed this article earlier but it offers some hints about what xMems may be delivering In the near or perhaps not so near future. https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20240325PD205/xmems-mems-speakers-ic.html

Yeah. The P And N of PNK stand for Pierre Nakano. That edition is indeed black.

I remember them being very comfortable but slip-prone. I guess a more tacky latex type would help with that.

Liberty 4 NC are a great choice for TWS boredom. Top fun stuff and easy to pass on to someone else. But anyone afflicted with TWSB must try the Aviot ZX1. Full stop. The caveat being do not bother if you have small, narrowish ears. My sister tried and they are a no-go. However, if you are in...

On the plane. Aviot wins over the others. Not close

Every now and then someone comes along who has some idea on how to bring order to this thread. The problem is that they and their viewpoint and solution are just as subjective as everything else is in this hobby. Most readers and contributors here are well aware of how to navigate the shifting...

What happened to me was I started to get cutouts in my left earpiece. I first put it back in the case because that's what typically fixes the sort of thing. But no, was still there. Disable re-enable Bluetooth, still there. Forget device, re-pair. Now one ear was entirely silent! Factory reset...

But did you get the PNK or the same one as before? I didn't know you can get the pnk through indiegogo.

I'm confused. Do you have to pay customs? What was you total cost? I'm thinking of getting another for a gift.

Sadly I don't have an engine and sports muffler but I will be taking all three of the above on a plane this Friday. I'll compare and report back.

I don't think that was available outside Japan. Even though it says it ships internationally, I think the quantities change if you're not in Japan.

They still have a slot for a modest 5% off. If you are in the US that brings the total to $318 shipped. I'm not sure when they will ship but for those of us who bought earlier, the shipping was ridiculously fast, like overnight. If you're curious, you can put a message on the indiegogo site...
