Interesting.
Wondering if it's sound signature will be anything like their custom IEM. At 200$, I doubt it, but it's worth a try!

No news about my order from Bose FR so far...

Some first unboxings/reviews are appearing :

Take aways :
- pi$s poor controls
- bulky box
- good ANC
- tight sealing apparently (so unlike the QC-20 strangely or APPs or Bold) with the FLIPSIDE being "walker's thump" or even "breather's thump" in this case !

Detailed Mic quality comparisons and the Bose are...just ok

On a budget, which is best for sports and listening to electronic music like Trance?
-Soundpeats Truedot
-Edifier X3
-Mpow M30

Not sure if this really fits into this thread: Bose Sleepbuds
Who else has them?
I have 'unearthed' mine again after a pretty long time, somehow I had expected more from them in the noises department. I actually find way more good relaxing / masking stuff in an iOS app called aptly "Noise"
Anyhoo, surprise surprise, I am just seeing in my app updates that they update the Bose SleepApp to accommodate a new MK2 of the sleepbuds! Coming out in a few days. From the promo video it looks like pretty much the same thing .. maybe a bit longer battery life ...

this is a cool idea, integrating a TWS on a laptop

This is actually really far from being a 'cool' idea

This is space hogging nonsense

I actually agree

That space is prolly a lot better utilised for something like twin memory card slots of something (should be REALLY useful for photogs/videogs, niche as it is).

On another note, I'm back to my other home, so yeah, time to unbox that T1XS.

Ignore that tiny shipment bump on the bottom.

First impressions? Box is tiny, the T1XS case is even TINIER. Like the L2P case absolutely dwarfs it side by side. The choice of materials for the case is a tad suspect tho, as the smooth glossy finish makes it feel... cheap (nothing the liberal application of carbon fiber sticker won't help however).

Now charging it for a bit before testing. Time for some random A-Bing.

i said it was a cool idea, not saying it's done right

i imagined maybe in the future they would utilize laptop speakers to be detachable and be turned into some sort of TWS units when needed, who knows. at least that "CD tray TWS idea" they had is a step somewhere

The Bose started showing up at best buys around me yesterday. I am going to pick up tomorrow. Anyone else get them?

Also got an email for a new Grado tws set today. Looks interesting but 250 is steep.

I had the first gen. They were a godsend with my toddler waking me up at night. I had a lot of battery issues and after 4 replacements, I wound up just selling the last replacement. That said, I pre-ordered the 2nd gen. Supposedly, they fixed the issues. If so, I'm beyond excited.

now this one's definitely a cool idea

Their website isn't too clear on this being permanent... This is much more compelling. If they have an EQ app, will likely be getting this.

The make you choose a size when you order. I wonder how their guarantee works

Edit: Apparently has a 4-band equaliser...
