Glad I’m not the only one here with an addiction...

It's part of why you'll see me harping on when Best Buy gets stuff in. I've got their Elite Plus membership at this point, so that means a 45 day return window plus points and discounts.

Gettin' pretty close to switching my TWE usage to "while on the go" only and snagging some on-ears for the gym, which should change what I need and what I'm gonna get.

I noticed you have wired IEMs with MMCX connectors listed in your inventory. Did you consider getting the TRN BT20 earhooks for these?

I don't trust cheapo chi-fi anything when it comes to bluetooth. A company like KZ might be able to pick up some decent OEM drivers and cobble together a solid wired headphones, but when there's actual electronics in there I'm not rolling the dice. I'll trust companies with a genuine track record for tech.

Currently dealing with the hideous noise floor of the TRN BT3 (same problem on the BT10 apparently) I would indeed encourage caution when it comes to the BT20 ! On the other hand the KZ BT adapter (v1) has no audible noise floor so who knows?

 

[SomeGuyDude]

It's not just that, when it comes to chi-fi I just don't think they'll be able to have a decent dac/amp in them and if I'm gonna hook decent headphones into that only for them to get kneecapped by crummy electronics it just defeats the point. I could see using those if you're already chi-fi'd up but not otherwise.

yes, i like it, i think it's a good and pleasant sounding open-back type earphones

Good to "hear", I guess the SQ is good because it's an original/independent project compared to the dozens of clones of AirPods and other assortment of TWEs.

BTW @clerkpalmer you were right about the UA's. Now I'm pretty perfectly set. VModa at home, UA at the gym, Bose while I'm out working and whatnot.

Fun fact: the UA are eerily reminiscent of the custom shields I put on my VModa...

(okay no more off-topic, just wanted to say)

 

[clerkpalmer]

Nice. Cool setup. Good choices.

Are we likely to see any more true wireless releases from master & dynamics any time soon?

 

[SomeGuyDude]

I heavily doubt it. None of the major companies have more than one TWE going at a given time outside of a regular and sport model but M&D isn't exactly a company that seems eager to court the "sport" crowd. Plus, it came out like... not that long ago. Settle down.

If the senn iE80's have a mmcx connector, you could try adapting the shure BT-2 5.0 adapter for your use case

They don't. Only real wireless option for the IE80s is the PlusSound BT.

this two days I'm using the Sabbat X12 pro has been pleasant. the 7 hours battery is great, tested two times and it is roughly consistent, about 9 hours on the second try but it's because i take short breaks more often)

the open design sound is also perfect for home use and sport. i can eat with this no problem because jaw movements won't break the seal (well there isn't any) and running with this don't produce that thumping sound in your head. i would still use my other TWs for noisy places though.

for the price, design, battery life, and overall functionality, I'd suggest this one hands down compared to the airpods

One last question before I place an order with AE, how's the microphone ? Can you have a normal conversation without people complaining they can't hear you ? Thanks !

Crazy, I walked in to London Drugs and they had a pair of Fiio F5 marked at $149CAD and when I looked up their website it wasn't listed so I had the salesman look up the price and they were clearing out for $69CAD. So I grabbed it. Damn thing came with a pelican case, some funky hybrid tips, an MMCX cable that can be used with android or apple, plus a 2.5mm trrs cable.

Sound is pretty damned impressive to. Its a titanium driver. I know this isn't new but it's still darned impressive stuff.

I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless on order and I am actually starting to think I will just cancel that order. As much as I want to hear them I have found some excellent products over the past couple days that sure scratch the audio itch.

Love that I now have some more great MMCX cable options in my stable along with a new IEM to boot.

Gonna see how these sound with me ES100 in balanced mode.

Btw sorry I posted this in the wrong thread . So just disregard...

I have the Jabra 65T Active and unfortunately I will be returning it. The connection isn't good enough as the music keeps cutting in and out. This is with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone and my Sony ZX300A. My Bose soundsport wireless has a solid bluetooth connection so not sure why so many bluetooth earphones just comes up short with the connection. I may need to wait for more reviews on the Sennheiser Momentum true wireless (or test out the Bose soundsport true wireless) or just wait until next year and hopefully something better is released.
