Basically locked-in once you figure out which tip works best for your ear, but I'll try to "simulate" a bike ride for your sake. To steal a trick from @Slater I'd suggest just swabbing your ears prior to the bike ride. Should help maintain grip really well, though I never felt like these were loose.

Oh and look what just showed up:

Just as soon as I thought I was done for a bit...

Hmm, is that MMCX to 2-pin? Interesting.

Fresh Spotify leaks. Launching soon I'd imagine.

Wow, already? I know it’s not official yet, but still... this is very exciting!

Sure is. Took a while for those adapters to show up, but well worth it. Just made the CF01 compatible with everything else in my IEM collection.

So, after RMA, I got the MT back in today. Just wanted to point out that I received an “Updated Quick Start Guide” that was outside of the MT’s box itself. I guess it’s just a more thorough guide to a few steps which were not on the guide inside the box. This may avoid certain types of complaints about eventual pairing issues.

Now on to test them... or should I say re-test! Happy I got them back anyway as they are extremely useful to me for “out and about”. And did I say I love their sound?...

Had the same guide in my set as well. Cute that they put it in an envelope and really glad they're back in your hands!

Ok, pop quiz, Advanced or CA based on sq and stability of fit? I feel like the advanced may sound better but I’m a little worried about slippage with no wings.

Advanced has confirmed an ipx5 rating.

It was good reading until I got to the end....

Keep in mind that Bluetooth LE Audio’s new LC3 codec will not do much to improve audio quality per see. Instead, it will help with improving battery life and signal robustness. This will translate into a better user experience for a large majority of users.

Yeah the whole LE thing is underwhelming. Sure battery life and latency are important as is stability but I was hoping for advances in SQ.

Once they're in, I couldn't get the ADV to move. There is a little piece up top that somewhat rests in the antitragus, so it's not completely like it's wing-less. It wins on pure SQ.

Biking, I'd be concerned about that standby power issue I've been facing with the MT. You'd be happy with either set, though.

Thanks. Advanced for the win.

LE audio is a game changer for True Wireless earbuds imo...:

*True independent connection instead of Master/Slave
* Low latency
* Better battery life
*Multi connections
*New high quality codec that replaces SBC

I mean all nice features that will probably lead to significant improvements. Multi connections is nice. I assume this requires new hardware so I guess we will see if big phone makers adopt this this year. Google likely will. I wonder about Samsung. This has interesting ramifications for Apple as well as I assume they will not.

Advanced M5 ordered. I’m sure Sony and Apple will now introduce their newest technology within 48 hours causing further harm to my wallet.

Seems to be how it always works.

Taking a listening break today. Too much sinus congestion. Man, being sick stinks.
