The lack of volume is not due to the device you are sending the BT signal from. This is from the built-in DAC/AMP of the TWS itself. So changing devices will not make any difference.

Tis a shame,

I really noticed on a run earlier how they lacked the power of the Airpods Pro/MW07+. Just felt a bit too small owing to the low volume from the iPhone, despite the clear advantage they have in every other area. Difficult, as at £350 the product kind of needs to be flawless.

Do you guys know if any devices, either DAPs, or phones, give A louder output via tws?

I’m thoroughly enjoying the PI7, but I think another notch of volume and they’d be better than any tws has a right to be.

If you on iOS you could use Flacbox’s Preamplifier, add a few db on it could increase the volume (adding it with the master volume on your phone), but do in mind that using the preamplifier too much could distort your PI7.

Or, you could just chuck it all and Jailbreak the phone and get rid of the locked top end that Apple puts on volume for hearing protection (like we are all kids and can't do the right thing for ourselves)... hehe

Tempted, is there a phone that doesn’t have this volume limit?

Thanks a bunch man, just tried it, and it worked amazingly for vocals, then bass kicked in And it was distorted as heck.

It’s a shame, as they’ve made something exceptional. But volume is especially important for tws as you’re often using them out and about, and these are noticeably quieter than the APP. Tis a shame as they sound about twice as good.

I wouldn’t go passed 1.5 on the Preamplifier, beyond that it would go distort. Try to play with it a little bit, who knows you might find a sweet spot on the volume.

Just got a shipping notice from WorldWideStereo. Looks like the AZ70Ws are coming home to roost

Otherwise been battling a wicked head cold today, so took a listening break. This stuff ain't fun, folks.

Not that they are proven to have better batteries in them just yet but I said, WTH, and got the new CCA CC1. Only $20.99. Something cheap to play with till the Sony or something real exciting comes along though it will take several weeks to come lol. Yes, I actually like the look of the "HYBRID TECHNOLOGY" on it. Has a "customized version of 30095 balanced armature and 8MM Dynamic unit". They are BT5.2 with supposed 20M range. Figured I gotta try one of these KZ/CCA sometime

That looks like an absolute steal. Where do you see it on sale for $20.99? I see $29.90 everywhere, still an absolute bargain anyhow.

Was $24.99 on Amazon with a $4 off coupon.

Not sure if the coupon is gone now for me cause I used it or it is just gone.

Nice! I got the coupon, just ordered one too. Can't really go wrong at $20.

For those that want to convert their IEMs that use QDC connection into TWS.

I rate the KZ AZ09 at 4.5/5. It currently sells on Shopee for 16 USD, on Amazon for 23 USD, and on Aliexpress for 20 USD.

I'm thinking I might just give up on these Galaxy Buds Pro and try and sell them due to the fit. Love the sound, love the size of the case, love the wireless charging, and even find the ANC acceptable for a TWS. I've updated the firmware so can now control volume, ANC, and track skipping all from the buds. However, when wearing them I am accurately that I am wearing them and they constantly feel on the verge of falling out. It's frustrating because they're so close to being great.

would you say they go in deep or stay pretty shallow?
Tried different tips?

I am still curious about them, wish I had a 'try' option

Pretty much any android phone (that is not Samsung, who mostly copies Apple in all things). But either way, you won't get much more volume than that anyhow. Best bet might be to get a different pair if you aren't happy with the max volume (I'm sorry to say).

I don’t agree. I’ve got 2 Android DAP’s running 8.1 and 9.0, and both have more than enough power for the Pi7’s. The highest I’ve listened to is around 70 out of 100 and whilst the buds seemed happy to go higher, my ears did not. @mainguy - you might want to check some of the smaller Hiby units. Amazing value for what you get.
