Ever so slightly considering buying another MW07 so that I would not have to worry about the 2.5 hour battery life. Seems like a waste of money but these sound so good. I could be totally content with the MW07 and my CIEMs (and my XM2 when needed).
Hear ya! Love how my MW07 sound (and fit) so much that have to tolerate their dismal batter life. Usually I don’t listen continuously to IEMs more than 2.5 hours anyways, but still keep 65t as a backup. Though every time listening to them right after MW07 gets me suprised how much flatter and condensed Jabras sound in comparison.

I wouldn't mind trying the MW07 but I just can't justify another $400 purchase.

Probably because I got used to touch devices with the MDR1000XM3 and the PCX550 I find the MTW to be OK with their touch interface.

Battery was down to 11% and I threw the MTW in the charge case for 15-20 minutes as I drove to the store. Took them out and I back up to 50%. So the MTW definitely have a fast charge.

I wonder if anyone even got 3 hours period.
Thought in the beginning I maybe got 3 once or twice but then it quickly slipped down to 2.5 at best. And even that gets marred long before by chewing noises it makes to warn you about battery getting sick. How M&D has the chutzpah to advertise MW07 as 3.5 is beyond me! Still SQ for me redeems MW07.

Yeah, they should change it to 2.5 hours. I was going to put the volume and the lowest audible volume and see how much time that will get. When I listen its only about 50% and still 2.5 hours which is fine for me as I knew this going in.

20181217_142131-01.jpeg

the Pamu Scroll finally arrived. initial impressions: it looks nice, the case feels nice to touch, although a bit large compared to my other TWS.
the stem is a little narrow, so choosing eartips might be a bit limiting. i use an ortofon on mine for the mean time

OTTB it sounds a bit too warm for my taste and also the warmest (and least favorite) sounding for me. not because it is bad, but it's because i like clear and lean mids more. the bass is big, but not overwhelming. overall really reminds me of the FX850. I'll try playing some music on it for a bit while also testing battery life.

treble is a bit grainy though. more grainy than the 65t. it also only supports SBC.

i also don't like the button functionality. no skip to previous track on this.

so to sum up my list from best to least favorite is:
Sony and Earin > Sabbat > Jabra > Pamu

looks like I'm giving this to my wife if she's interested, or sell it if she doesn't like it

Thanks for the feedback.
I notice you still prefer the Sony to the Sabbat ? I thought you said you'd stopped using them in favor of the Sabbat lately ? Reason I'm asking is because I'm still on the fence about getting the Sabbat as I already have way too many headphones/earbuds/IEMs:wink:

on SQ i might prefer the sony and earin a little bit because given their IEM seal they will have a bit more detail in sound compared to the open back nature of the sabbat. but on overall usage, the sabbat still is my most used tws.
i brought it to an audio meet yesterday and most of them like the sabbat. my niece also ordered one after hearing it

Coming up to the end of my cutoff for return with the MTW and really want to trade em in for an MW07. Physical buttons are just nicer IMO..

Seems like SQ is at least on par, and they do look so much better...

Has anyone ever consistently got 3.5 hours out of the MW07s?

I'm pretty sure the only way to get 3.5hr out of the MW07 is to sit them on a table with no music playing. They sounded absolutely gorgeous and I loved the fit and style, but if I had the volume up I was getting the volume warning in less than two hours.

Damn...Most of the time I don't need the 3.5, but there's already been a couple of times I pushed the MTW to the 4 hour (Christmas shopping is a nightmare)

Oh Modern and Dynamic, just do a collab with Sennheiser!!

Had a nice day at the earphone store the other day, trying TWE for the first time. I only had one hour, much less after figuring out how to pair them.
Just a note, I have a very bad phone, so I was using my Shanling M0 to test them, which meant they were all app-less, but I prefer not having to be hassled with using an app if I can help it anyways. I can't really comment on the battery life, but I gave each pair a good 10 minutes listen, and didn't get a single drop off in the store full of bluetooth interference.

I tried the MW07 first, and it was amazing! The sound was very nice, the bass was heart-felt, and the separation in Adele's live concert was amazing. The crowd, the instruments, and the voice all had their place. It was very nice. The fit was also perfect thanks to the wings, and the case was a very nice size.

I tried the new Sennheisers after, and coming from the MW07, they were disappointing. A lot less separation and detail, sounded a little flatter than I was expecting. Maybe they need the app to sound their best? The fit was awkward too, maybe something to get used to. Overall, not something I would drop 35,000 yen on. The case is nice and slick though, better than the MW07, if just because it is not a scratch and fingerprint magnet.

I then tried the Jabra 65ts. They were very comfortable, paired easy, and were very convenient. The sound though, was really bad. Everything sounded flat. I would probably opt to just not listen to music than deal with that.

Last, I tried the Sony sp700n. I actually really liked them! I thought the sound quality was almost the same as MW07s. Maybe 90% the SQ. That sub-bass in sk8erboi was really nice. Good separation and detail overall. The fit was nice, but the buttons were kind of awkward to push. The ANC was really weak at first, but when music starts playing it seems to get much stronger and blocked off a lot of clatter. On itself though, with no music playing, it was hard to tell that it was actually on. Compared to the WI1000X (collar bluetooth iems), the ANC was not much, but I can definitely see it kill the train sound well. The only thing I found disappointing was the HUGE lag in audio. I can't see myself doing more than listening to music...I am sure movies would be pretty laggy and need adjustments, and at that point it takes away the convenience of TWE. Still, less than half the price of the MW07 and the ANC really grew on me.

I will likely go back, I read recently that the Sony sp900n uses a balanced armature, and I love BA sound. It also has the ANC going for it, I wonder if it still has the lag. Maybe I am not ready for TWE yet, maybe I will just get a cheaper set to scratch an itch after Christmas...

do try the SP900. I tried it on the sony store and really like it. by the way, have you tried the WF1000X also?

TrueGrip™ Pro - The first Comply disappointment.
I've bought a lot of Comply tips for many different in-ear headsets. 100% happy with all of them. Sound quality, bass, seal and comfort (especially noise from cables, chewing etc)
The TrueGrip™ Pro I got today, is sadly not fitting my ears. Too small, thus no seal and bass. Edit: There's only one size. Std/med.
I don't know what to use with my Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless now. I really hate silicon tips.... :frowning2:
Any other suggestions?
