Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

Experiences with SF Express shipping? My KZ Z1's shipped from China fairly promptly and arrived in New York a week ago (I'm in California) and the tracking is showing no movement since. Is this normal and what are your experiences with this shipping service?

As I've written before, sadly I have a battery case drain issue with my new Tevi set (the replacements I got in February)
I contacted Lypertek, but since I have (somehow) deleted the email containing the original order number, they don't want to help.

Their last email said:
"we had looked for whole system and could not find your order record
sorry"

Yeah right.... Wow, that's service for you :triportsad:

Plop wireless charging capability to the case and I'll be showering them with cash for sure. I'm unfortunately a bit spoiled now after having that on my L2P.

Heck, I even got a wireless PB - the Baseus S10 - along with the L2P, so I'm doubly spoiled.

I agree. Wireless charging really is convenient.

I even converted my X12 pro case to wireless charging (it's not the ultra version which has aptx and wireless charging). Hard to go back to without it. I did for the XM3's for a bit.

Any how-tos to do just that? I think I kinda stumbled upon one somewhere (someone sticking a pad inside their TWS case) but for the life of me I can't remember where I found it any more lol.

I'm totally up to prying open a TWS case if someone can show me how to do it without breaking it.

That said, I don't actually have mad soldiering skillz so I might just do a rough external mod instead (something like sticking an external QI receiver mat somewhere outside the case). The downside to this is that external QI pads are usually kinda HUGE.

TBH, someone should just start doing silicone QI charging cases for popular TWS models. I mean, there already one for the Airpod IINM.

Have to find a smaller one though.

Ah. It takes some soldering skills, as well as some fitment work.

Most cases probably wont have room inside for the components. It only worked easily as the circuit board was already setup for wireless charging and I had a bad E12 to transfer everything from (same case dimensions). I still had to modify the case inside to fit everything, it would snap back together without doing so.


If you don't take the case with you, you may be better served by buying a universal cell phone 'qi wireless charging receiver'. Just plug it in and set the case/charger on the pad. Not as convenient as a built in solution.

I spent some time today modding my 'brand-used' X12 Pro case with the Qi wireless charger taken from a bad E12 set.

The X12 & E12 have different circuit boards and retainers as the charging posts are aligned differently. You can't use an X12 in an E12 case and vise versa.

Once I had the cases apart I saw the circuit board had the input provision to for the wireless charger.

It was necessary to remove the original thicker double sided foam from between the battery and circuit board holder. That was replaced with 3m double sided foam, the automotive stuff that is grey. I actually stretch it so it's thinner as well.

To fit everything I filed the bottom of the cupped areas that the earbuds point down into for a little more room inside.

The Qi coil from the E12 also uses a thicker double sided black foam, which I replaced with the stretched grey 3m stuff as well. The E12 case has more room inside as the cups are not as deep. No idea why as the X12 is a much shallower fit.

Solid, eardrum destroyer bass but no sub aukey ept10 will got big improvement by Wavelet autoeq.
Just simply install then use auto eq of anker liberty air2 for ept10 and job done.

Auto library does not contain ept10. However ept10 (graphen) and air2 (DLC) sharing similar sound properties.

New design...

The charge case is a neckband. Kinda convenient. No lids and no pockets needed and pretty easy to put them in at one with one side in each hand. Could be even more useful with storage built in to put your podcasts on or some workout tunes and keep one's music folder clean of that stuff. I'd be on board if a Sony or other decent brand name would do something like this.

Rtings review of the MTWS 2 and they're not very enthusiastic. I agree that the ANC is weak but the passive+active isolation isn't as bad as they measured it in my experience. Also I find that their form factor strikes the right balance between comfort, isolation and solid fit, best I've ever had TBH.

And they're even better with Comply Foam tips. Got them today, in Large. (was recommended to buy a size larger than I usually use)
With silicone I had to reduce treble to avoid sibilance. Smoother highs with the Complys and I now once again use a flat eq..

Edit: Maybe they are a little "duller" with the Comply for MTW 1/2, but as I said; smoother. The comfort is fantastic.
