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

Saw these today. Budget Qi wireless model from ADV is coming.

MicroUSB? I see it listed as such and I recall other users saying similar variants with the number display were microUSB.

Has anyone found a UFO variant with true USB C2C charging and/or AptX? I recall the OEMs were offering versions with AptX on Alibaba and someone here got a unit but it seems no Aliexpress seller/brand sold them. I see Verbatim also has an AptX TWS with a more standard case with number displays, the shells somewhat resemble a mix of Sabbat E12 with MIFO 05.

Unfortunately it's micro USB. No volume control and the touch control has forward skipping of tracks, but not back.

I've just "impulse-bought" this: Soundpeats Trueair 2, nice formfactor, slim case and unit, touch is nice, sound is okay, although a bit gritty on the treble for me (might need a bit of playtime).
the only gripe i have is when i try to position them on my ears by grabbing the stems, the signals would cut out on one of them.. i don't know if this my unit only or all of them do this..

OK, fellas. Picked up the JBL Club Pro+ tonight, and wow, these may very well be the best sounding TWS I've ever heard. Full featured, comfortable, excellent EQ, good ANC, and that sound...

Out of the box, the sound is fairly flat, maybe a little sparkle, but just a good, clean sound. With the EQ, I can get the bass to dig super deep and give me some rumble that's amazing coming from a pair of TWS'. Imaging is good and all instruments/sounds have their place. I've been enjoying these for several hours and they are super addicting. Also, took a few calls with no issues. 100% recommend.

I remember trying the Club One over ear some time ago and it was stunning as well. Way too much bass for my liking, but fast and precise bass. The build quality at that price point was insane as well.

Do the Club Pro+ TWS have aptX and/or multi connection. Couldn't see any specifications mentioning it. Anything with aptX and multi connection would be awesome. Otherwise I'll stick with my MTW2.

All I know is the Jaybird Vista are flawless for gym headphones. I'm pretty sure you could do a muay thai sparring session with these and they wouldn't fall out.

That looks like it might have a driver configuration like the L2Ps, which has great sound. If they have ambient and a good app, it might be a killer unit.

I must know more -given I think we have similar taste in sound signatures.

Do they have multipoint or apt-x? How would you compare vs Elite Active 75t for calls/sound?

I really like the 75t as a total package for exercise/calls/good sound when EQ'd, but the left earphone doesn't quiiite match the right and has a slight 'resonance sweep' as I think someone called it. These JBL and their extendable bass seem very interesting. How big is the case? Thank you!

edit @hifi80sman I already impulse bought them from a reseller on Amazon that ships to PR (we'll see) because I can't help myself and hearing your subdued but very positive endorsement got me interested.

Why is there no info on codecs/multipoint online? :Sob:

Do you know if those upcoming Qualcomm chips, which are BT5.2, are also usable with all of their features with BT5.0 devices like smartphones and similar?
Or is it pointless to wait for 5.2 TWS devices, if I'm using a BT5.0 device to connect to?

How is the ANC compared to Elite 85t? I'm looking at both, but JBL is cheaper if the ANC is comparable might just buy the JBL.

Been a while since I've peeped the thread but which of the "higher end" TWS have you tried?

Most of the major releases in the US, such as the Bose QC, Bose Sport, Sony XM3, Sony SP800N, Jabra 65t & 75t, MW07 & MW07 Plus, MTW, B&O E8, Galaxy Buds, Klipsch T5, Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro & Liberty Air 2 , Galaxy Buds Live, Plantronics BackBeat PRO 5100, 1More Stylish, Advanced Model X+ Plus, HOM Liberate Air, NUARL NT01AX-BM, RHA TrueConnect, and maybe a few more.

I have not yet tried the Jabra 85t, MTW2, Klipsch T5 II, or the newer NUARLs.

Those are a lot.

Any chance you can tell me if the MW07 Plus are worth a go if I like the MTW2?
I know you didn't listen to them, but sound wise (which is my main priority) they're pretty similar to the MTW(1).
Or do you have any other recommendation to look at when trying to find the best sound? Mainly for classical music.

EDIT1: Are there sites like the crinacle site, which focuses on TWS IEMs? Sound first, and then all that tech stuff.

Haven't tried the 85t. I'd say the ANC is "good" and is lesser than Sony, Bose, etc. but better than the MW07 Plus. I used it while driving (I know, I'm "bad") and it took away much of the road noise from my SUV, so listening to music was enjoyable.
