Hi guys,

what do you think has an overall "better" sound quality: the mtw2 or e8 v.3?
FWIW: I asked the same question a while ago, but as far I can tell nobody replied. However, I am the happy owner of the e8 v.3 (haven’t tried the mtw2). With the comply true grip, to my ears they sound wonderful - need a bit eq in the bass region though. The lack of NC is not a problem, as the seal is pretty good. I also have the xm3, but I tend to prefer the e8.....

Just ordered the Astrotec S90 Pro from Linsoul -- $85 out the door thanks to their mid-year sale. Very excited to try them out, will def post impressions when I get them.

Waiting for some impressions. These are probably one of the select few "Multi BA-only" TWSes out there and I'm pretty curious as of how AstroTec has them sorted out.

Also, mid year sale hmmmm.

Received the Sennheiser MTW2 this morning. Been using them for the last few hours and so far I prefer them to the Jabra 75T. Not much between them though, I prefer the more refined sound of the Sennheiser, bass is less prominent, a bit more natural sounding.
The mids and highs are smooth and well detailed, if I had to describe it overall I'd say it's to the warmish/bassy side of neutral.

I also prefer the fit of the Senns although again not much to choose between them. Strangely I'm needing to use the large tips to get a good seal, normally I need mediums.

The one thing I am finding with all the TWS buds I've tried is a lack of volume, must be years of being spoiled with DAC/Amps that give more power. Listening at around 80% on both my Samsung S20 Ultra and the same on my Macbook.

The white model is really nice as well, I was keen to get and didn't want to wait for stock of the black model.

Will do. Someone else bought them a couple months ago and promised impressions but I don't think that ever materialized, so I'm taking a flyer. Hopeful it will deliver good separation, tight bass, and no sibilance.

In case you were wondering about the durability of some of these IEMs: I recently performed the "car test" on my Bomaker SiFi 1 using a 2012 Honda Civic on a concrete driveway. I'm happy to report that my SiFi suffered only minor scratches and a slightly cracked shell. It still works and sounds fine, although unfortunately, is no longer IPX7 waterproof.

"Car Test" in quotes means, "I accidentally drove over one of the ear buds".

PS: How does auto corrupt change Drove to Drive on a Macbook? I understand on a tiny iPhone keyboard but if AI is using context to drive corrections, WHY would it create a sentence that makes no sense?

EDIT - it did it again, and it changed "why" to "while" when 95% of the time I need autocorrect, but 100% of the time we don't need auto corrupt.
