OK, got a reply from Chen. He said the new BT20 will support aptX HD. No aptX Lossless though.

i hope it also adds volume control, and maybe some easier way to charge (like charging case, for instance)

Aptx and stop the blinking in use and I'd be happy. Longer battery life is always a plus.

Volume control, magnetic charging dock or anything else would just be awesome.

Yes, I already mentioned the X8 on Facebook... Anyway, it is 8 BAs per channel (Knowles BAs). Launch date around 3rd quarter of 2019.

Hopefully my wallet is ready for its price (uni student + this hobby...bad combination)

I am more or less an Android person but I do own an iPad. TRN didn't say it is AAC compatible so I assumed it is not. However, I do know it is using Bluetooth 5.0.

Anyway, the new BT20 will be both AAC and SBC compatible.

I can confirm AAC compatibility of the current BT20 on Android. My Redmi Note 5 shows the codec used with the currently active connection.

Yes, I tuned the IM1. IM1 Pro was tuned by Chen, based on the first model (I was tuning the X6 and X8 then, so they won't want to give me additional workload).

ops i saw the older post, i will get the X8 when is out

Larry how are the knowles drivers compared to no name generic ones, is it a really a big difference in the quality or it comes down to the tuning most of the time?

Then again, there are B-stock Knowles drivers which many Chi-Fi manufacturers use and advertise themselves as using Knowles.

yes i was thinking that they use B stock or second hand knowles drivers, also the banned brand use knowles for bass and mids and bellsing for treble in my HQ10 to keep the cost down
however the treble response is very good, smooth and natural sounding

There were 3 of us who tuned the X6. I was just one of them (Chen, Ming and myself). I will except only 1/3 your compliment.

What was your goal in the tuning? Would this work for highend studio work and IEM for musicians? Or does it have a more v shaped "fun" listening experience like many, many others?
