I like the MTW2 a lot. but honestly, even with the high end sound tuning, i still prefer my MTW1. Better highs and mids. The firmware update a while back made the ANC a lot better, but honestly if i could go back, i would have just worn out my mtw1 completely. I mean, if you have the money, and you clearly have the sickness like many of us, then by all means get it. but owning both i just wanted to share my thoughts.
Whilst YouTube, VoIP and Phone calls use different Bluetooth profiles, this seems more likely to be a wifi/bluetooth/usb interference problem from the PC since connections dropping when close by the transmitter indicates a radio problem. Do you have something connected via USB to the computer, particularly USB-C? Do you have a cordless (US) phone nearby? Is WiFi internal or on some sort of card?TWS and VOIP Calls
I have a question for anyone that spends a lengthy period of time on VOIP (zoom, jabber etc) calls. Do people always complain of poor sound quality from your end? More importantly, do you lose connection and have your calls drop randomly for no reason? I have this issue constantly and have tried various TWS all to no avail. I'm wondering if my Windows 10 Realtek 4.2 adapter is somehow the culprit although I don't understand since I'm not walking away and sitting and working on the computer right there. What confuses me even more and why I don't think bluetooth is the issue is the fact that the connection is rock solid and never drops once with the same TWS sets sounding sublime when I'm listening to youtube or spotify for hours on the same computer.
I'll have to take the time and dig into this more. Although I work at home in a completely dead quite room with no distractions, along with the constant drop outs and disconnections, clients also complain that they can't hear me well and that I always sound muffled on my cisco jabber calls when I'm on TWS. Family zoom meetings on the same computer have the same issues as well. Switching to regular non VOIP calls on my phone with the same TWS sets is just fine both ends with no complaints. I unfortunately can't test my jabber work calls on my smartphone even as a process of elimination as my company for security reasons doesn't allow that. Zoom calls when testing though work great on my phone with absolutely no issues on all my TWS sets.
For now I'm tethered to my laptop with a cheap wired earbud with a mic and have no call drops or disconnections sounding great both ways. I work on jabber 8-10 hours a day which makes my wired connection a bit hard as I take constant calls with few breaks all the time (Iam an Interpreter) while my nice TWS sets sit there just looking pretty. My dream of enjoying working from home being mobile and untethered due to COVID hasn't worked out so well so far.
I'm starting to wonder if TWS companies don't want us utilizing their products for VOIP calls as a way to make sure we don't take take business away from their ridiculously overpriced VOIP headset market share..
Anyways my apologies for hijacking the thread. I'm peeved enough that I'll start researching and looking into this moving forward and will share my findings. In the mean time, if anyone has faced a similar experience working from home and found a workaround please don't be shy and let us know
Same.

Kinda funny ... somehow a bit turned off by TWS these days (maybe also because I can't get anything new and I feel my in-ear skin is getting dry and itchyYou're not missing much. Seemingly nothing new around, been looking for something small and well fitting but other than the mifo o9, which is basically the o4 in a different colour, and the kz sa08, which I bought about a month ago and the tracking doesn't even work, not seen anything look remotely interesting. Omthing Airfree were pretty good but battery life sucks
) so, I am rediscovering my wonderful over ears ... rocking the Hifiman HE400 now with balanced cable into the Earstudios 100

Where you heard about that? I'd love to see an upgrade over the GBL adding more IPX power
