I’ve spent a small fortune trying to find the “perfect” biking tws. So far I keep coming up empty. Either fit issues, wind noise or both. I realize that over 20mph or so wind is going to be an issue nevertheless I’m still on the hunt.

so the new Jaybird claims they have “wind defense”. Does anyone think this is a real thing? They are pricey for bike only buds but I am intrigued.

Sounds like baloney to me, the only "wind defense" is passive isolation and the lowest possible profile, anything "active" is prone to failure. We've talked about that subject before, if you *can" be isolated, i.e. riding where there is zero danger then you want TWSs like the Bomaker SiFi II.or the EchoBuds with ANR turned off. If you need to remain aware of your surroundings, and that's really going to be the main use cas on a bike, then you'd want something like the Aftershokz. My goto sports earbuds the X12 do provide awareness but I find the wind noise distracting.

Wow nice! What kind of IEMs are those? How does the Fiio compare to the iBasso?

Those are tin hifi t2. I haven't tried the iBasso before.

Did you buy the headphones rather than the earbuds?

So foam tips only, hum...hope they're stronger than your average Comply tips ! Also I hope it's not a "fix" for poor fit like the XM3s that required Complys to stay put. Of course that's not the type of IRL experience you'd expect a journo from The Verge to even think of looking into.

really curious to try sony TWS since i use sony DAPs. $279 is kinda pushing it though. im hoping theres some incredible synergy in the sony ecosystem there. now.. for a silver ZX500.. silver or black buds?

I doubt those tips will fit me I need XL (14mm or so), reviews stated it should have XL and no multipoint.

I wonder how many devices they can remember or are they going to pair/forget each time?
