There is no excuse for it not to be common place especially given how ubiquitous Bluetooth devices requiring audio are.

Long-term development cost

That's pretty smart. Don't know how people are going to feel about the screen in reality, though. Great idea in theory.

yes, that aspect is a bit worrying for me, because it's kinda like having a tiny phone just to control the TWS.. i do hope they add direct control too.

Got the new Melomania 1+. Not much new to report. Nice to have the EQ option. Honestly, my old ears do not notice a HUGE difference between these and the MT which I returned. The 1+ fit me better. Plus, the case is tiny.

Listening to the original M1, which I’ve owned for more than a year, the M1+ Is an upgrade. I “forgot” the originals on my iphone 8+ and LG V20 and now moved to the M1+. I also had the Touch, returned it. Too wonky and I actually prefer the M1+ for comfort/fit with foam tips. And my ears are old too!

It says in the FAQ that they also have tap control and always on voice assistant. Although I didn't see which ones.

Love the EQ. The soundstage is great. I’ve always been a sucker for the bullet form factor and all the small TWS earbuds.

I do wonder if the 5.8mm drivers on M1+ versus 7mm drivers on MT creates a difference in sound quality/volume/etc. It might be worth $10 extra to just go to the Touch's bigger drivers if everything else is pretty much the same (except for the OEM foam tips support).

I also suspect that once the original Melomania 1 runs out of stock, they will slash the 1+ price to be around where the original 1's are currently at. The Touch with bigger drivers being only $10 more severely cripples the 1+'s ability to sell so they are probably just waiting for the original 1s to sell out.

my local TWS shopping options ... whaddayathink? Should I get those EarStuds?

I even saw one shop having the Gear Icon x in their window. Might even be the real deal. But sure they still want to have like 300us$ for them

Looks like WWS has adjusted their product page to price-match the AZ70W. Definitely recommend these guys after the way they took care of me. They do support ID.me for you vets and government workers out there...

Wow .. and few months ago I was willing to spend like 300$ on them ... glad I stuck with the cheaper Panasonics ... at 140 I would totally get them as well!

You may well be right. For me, the driver size difference was not an issue, I just prefer the M1+ over the Touch because I do prefer the fit and the M1+ sounds very very good. CA will probably drop the price on the M1+ and the Touch at some point. I paid 129 for the original M1, it went down to $79 for a bit, now at $99. But that’s okay. I’m happy with the upgrade. With the M1+ and Status Audio Between Pro on hand, TW stable is solid. Just waiting for the specially tuned Earfun Free Pro to arrive, took a flyer on it at $69.

Hah found a solution to your buds falling out. Seems horribly impractical, but it's getting funding:

But it says "ultimate comfort"!
I have a couple of rubberbands that are cheaper than $25 and available now...

Just ordered Oluv's tuned earfun free pro. It sounds promising and I just watched his video below comparing against it to Sony XM3, Lypertek, Soundcore LAP, Sony MH1, Moondrop Blessing and it sure sounds great. Comparison starts at 17.30

Was shocked how the XM3 fared

 

[CocaCola15]

I’m in for one as well. Curiosity killed the walllet. I’ve owned the Soundcore L2P, Sony and Tevi, but not the LAP. Did not end up keeping any of the three.

I bought the Fiil version sucks to have Chinese as only voice and app configuration but I can EQ it how I like and they sound great.
These are great value set of earbuds.
