Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

According to this video, they work independently. Timestamped for you convenience.

Best tws reviewer imo

For those interested at the end he does a SQ ranking
PI7
Momentum 2
MW08
Sony XM4

The reason I like and trust this guy so much is that he clearly keeps every tws iem and uses them all regularly. So many reviews out there don't I'm certain of it, instead they test the product mostly in a vacuum. Interesting to see him put the mw08 above the xm4 though, wasn't expecting that.

Bummer, cant swap Assist for ANC?
Nope. Not yet at least. Sony would have to send out an update. They dropped the ball a bit on the customization.

The sensitivity and size of the touch controls are great though.

The touch controls actually have some audible feedback per touch, which makes things like double tapping very easy to do.

Even though most are still in the honeymoon with the new ANC model from Sony there is this for those who go in the other direction for an open design...

" Ambie will release the completely wireless earphone "TW-01" after the end of August as a new model of "earphones that do not block the ears" "ambie sound earcuffs". The price is 15,000 yen (tax included). Advance reservations will be accepted from June 10th today.

By wearing it like an ear cuff, ambie develops earphones that allow you to "listen while listening" without blocking your ears. The completely wireless earphones also adopted an ear cuff type design.

The mass is about 4.2g per ear. Bluetooth supports 5.2, codecs support SBC and AAC, and additional support for other codecs is planned. Equipped with a MEMS microphone, it can also be used for online meetings. Continuous playback time is about 6 hours. The main body has IPX5 waterproof performance and can be used for sports.

In addition to the lineup of black and white colors, season colors and limited models will also be released. As the first limited edition color, "Cloud Gray" will be available for pre-order from noon on July 1, 2021. In addition, optional parts that can be changed in color according to the coordination of the day are scheduled to be released in the fall."

Hopefully at the price the other codecs planned will add at least aptX. For those unfamiliar...

No love for Aviots?

After fiddling with the translation, finally I can updated the Aviot TE-D01G’s firmware so I can connected it to the Aviot Sound XXX app.

The app is nothing to fancy about, but it does have 10 band EQ, I use this one to make it more balance in terms of sounds, and the EQ settings is saved on to the buds.

So far I like the TE-D01G’s sounds more than the Nuarl N6 Mini. A happy camper indeed I am.
Seems they are just coming out with the ANC version, the TE-D01t...

Huh... Must have missed this WH2 review from @twister6 that went up a couple days ago. Gotta give credit where credit's due:

https://twister6.com/2021/06/08/hiby-wh2-tws/

Here's the most important section as far as I'm concerned:
WH2 vs WH3 – the soundstage expansion of WH2 is more holographic in comparison to more intimate sound of WH3. WH3 soundstage width is above average, not as wide as WH2. When it comes to the sound, WH3 is smoother, more organic, and also more balanced, reminding me more of Airpods Pro. In comparison, WH2 has a more fun mildly u-shaped tuning, still closer to balanced, with a deeper and more articulate bass and crisper airy treble. WH2 mids/vocals are less colored, with a good layering and separation. In terms of technical performance, I also hear a better retrieval of details in WH2.
I'm interested.

Nice find! Hopefully they could add volume control. They have a good shape for fit though not the most attractive. Did you enter the Facebook giveaway?
I'm off all the socials, so no. Waiting for the campaign to start and I'll just join the queue like everybody else.

Thanks! Though xm4 is around the corner, WH2 are still the first with LDAC support and a quality tuning, I use them daily now. And among other comparisons, I have one vs airpods pro in my review.

No problem! Been reading your reviews for quite a while. Did you get a choice between the 1DD/2BA models?

And just to add, though I was only allowed to share their msrp price, I was told that early bird KS going to have a huge discount. And no, unfortunately they didn't have 2BA model ready yet in time for review. I'm curios to try the digital crossover which is only available on 2BA, not DD, and similar to WH3 implementation.

I feel like that's a must-have after having gotten used to it on the WH3. I know you found the 1025 work on the WH2, but I'd also suggest taking a look at the Azla Crystal. Really like what they did for the WH3.

Thanks for the tip, no pun intended :wink: Love Azla tips, but never heard of that one. Will check it out!

Ack, that's unfortunate to hear - I just tried my 6Ps again, still love the sound but I definitely prefer the 10's - they are both pretty wonderful though. Out of curiosity, what are you driving them with ? Android or iPhone ( I'm using the former + AptX )
