I'm thinking about picking up both the JBL Club pro and Melomania Touch. with the JBL's though, aren't they releasing a successor to the club pro soonish? Thought i saw that in a CES article but can't find it.

Finally seen the Galaxy Buds Pro around here locally .. but holy moly, they come in at 240USD, which includes a hefty 'first adopter / gloater' fee.
Oh, and no way they want to open / unseal a box. No way to try ... so ... no for now ..

Fiio also makes a 2-pin as well But only shallow/flush 2-pin setups will work with it (so a recessed 2-pin socket may not work). But yeah, it really opens up the options for TWS. The only downside with them is the size of the case. Oh, I haven‘t tested call quality either since that’s not a huge thing for me.
So for instance, these would be a problem? This is what you call recessed?
And I guess this is "flush"?
How do "shallow" look?
Sorry, I'm a newbie on 2-pin Only have a Fiio FH3 mmcx, that's almost ruined by driver flex.

the 2-pin version will definitely work on both
Using an Android? What brand (eg. samsung)? Not all Android phones handle AAC as well as Apple does.Only use it on AAC and sound great why use sbc?
I didn't even catch that wow. Yes, it is all about implementation etc, i'm always in that camp, but i'm not paying $200 for SBC only. Thanks for pointing that out. I was willing to try that with the XM3 2 years ago, but not now with the improvements we've seen generally.JBL Club pro supports SBC only? That's a no from me.

Been listening to this on my Nuarl N6 Mini
The layering, separations, imaging, and timbre is pretty good for a TWS, bass is fast enough to keep up with the tracks (its not bloated, its tight, and its deep), though the trebles is laid back but it still gives that energetic sound. I don’t EQ’d them anymore, apparently my brain is getting accustomed with their sound.

I am holding off on the TWS adapters till they get better design wise. Thought about getting the Shure since it is the one that has "environmental" sound so the only one you can hear through but didn't want to spend that much. I'll wait for aptX HD, ambient, and if they can put a three button control on a Nuarl TWS they can put one on TWS adapters! I bought a JPride cable to wait till that sort of thing comes along.
I bought this along with my CKR70TW for my Dunu Zen. I wanted the longer cable that lays on the side of the neck but not out in front or up dangling and bouncing.
Of course the American brand Shure put ambient in and none of the Chinese brands have put that in and hard to name a Chi-Fi TWS that has ambient. What they don't talk to people live in China ? Only on calls. What's the deal??

The top is flush. The bottom is actually a different 2-pin connector that sticks out from the body. Recessed would be the opposite of the second photo, something like the Drop Plus.

Qualcomm doesn’t yet provide ambient mode as a standard built-in feature for their Bluetooth audio chips and reference designs, so it’s additional development work to integrate it, which I’m pretty sure that very few brands have the expertise to do (see: Fostex TM2, which has a half-baked implementation of it. Haven’t tried the Shures, but my hopes aren’t high for those either).I am holding off on the TWS adapters till they get better design wise.

Hello I'd like to buy new headphones and can't choose between the Jabra 85T, Melomania Touch and the KEF mu3. Can someone help me make the decision?
To me: iPhone users, so only aac. I like bass-heavy music, but also rock and acoustic songs. Sound quality is most important to me. ANC is great, but good passive isolation is enough for me. I only make calls sometimes, so it's not so important. Hope someone can help with the decision, someone could test two or 3 of the headphones? The KEF mu3 doesn't have an app, so you have to live with the presets? Thank you

So the Ikko OH10 Obsidian will work with the 2-pin UTWS3 then? (I've got a real nice offer, seconhand bought in January)The top is flush.

I feel like it should work. This is assuming the the pin ports are the same distance apart each other compared to the other 2-pin setups.

Oh crap, I just realized that the UTWS 3 doesn't have a customizable EQ at all, it's just 3 presets
