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

Look I do not want to listen to your BS anymore and my statements were my own not blanket so get of your high horse (set my 1st ever ignore here), not that is was big deal but he seemed to feel it was so....
Good riddance.
I'm in NJ. From Poland.
Awesome! Then it works out. Both Sam's Club and Costco have very flexible return policies. That or Best Buy (as you mentioned) would probably be the best way to "try" them out. Not that I condone this sort of practice on the regular, but if it becomes a make/break sort of deal, it's an option.

The Sony XM4's are awesome. For me, perfect fit with Spinfits and the ANC is spot on. I do like the fit better than my Devialet Gemini. Soundstage is wide. Instrument separate is well done. IMO better than the M4's which I really didn't like at all. Fit was awful. M4 bass is decent. I EQ stuff. Volume is loud enough for me, depends on when what you're listening to was mastered. Old Heavy Metal tends to be mastered lower than say, the new Danny Elfman (which is surprisingly good!). Charging case is soooo much smaller. Wireless charging. Fits in my pocket without too much bulk. Been using them for two hours straight and I'm still on 90% battery life. Alright, back to listening...

P.S advise you watch reviews even they will say battery not the best when it is 5-7 hour today 9non ANC), that will keep you busy for a while messaging them to educate/correct them.
This is my 2nd set and they can and do but I tend not to listen at high volume either so no need to listen to dodgy reviewers.

Anyway, doesn't matter, if you need 12+ hrs neckband is the way to go. That way you get the benefit of larger battery and smaller IEM's, if of course the band doesn't bother you.

We have too much choice these days 🤣

I think there's an opportunity for someone to get some crazy battery life out of their TWS. Just solder directly from the TWS' battery to a pair of these on each shoulder. 20,000 mAh should be good for 8-10 hours, right?

Yeah, or maybe one of those baseball caps for beer, except instead of beer... Nah wait, that won't work 🤣
Where would you put your beer?! There's room on top for the battery, anyway. Can't sacrifice the must-haves for the nice-to-haves.

Forgot to mention, as a general PSA: please don't keep any TWS in all day, regardless of whether the battery would support it. That's potentially dangerous for the health of your ears and all the tiny bones inside. Take breaks and keep your ears clean. You only get one set. Considering I was born deaf and went through a lot to get my sense of hearing back, that's not something I take for granted. I hope you don't either.

How would you compare SQ and sonic profile with the MW08's?
I prefer them over the MW08. I thought the MW08 were muddy and I could never get a good fit. The ANC and sound is much better on the M4s in my opinion. That said, the build quality is better on the M&D earbuds.

Which Spinfits are you using?

I may have to shuffle that top spot around. The NFP have been knocking it out of the park lately. Still get that artifacting when in aptX Adaptive (so running in aptX only), but the midrange on these things is so good for prog.

If it were just about sound, these probably have my top spot now, followed by the ADV, UE, and Technics...all for different moods. List isn't numerical, though.

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 )
Hey I’m glad you like them. I tested them using iPhone 12 Pro Max AAC.

When I tried the included foam tips, the sound was really quiet. Even with my favorite tips (the Acoustone’s), it didn’t get very loud and I’m not even really into loud music.

I’ve been using NFP over past month or so, primarily for gym and cycling but am increasingly pulling these out around the house, they are that good. The Bluetooth is a little wonky at times, unpredictable. But worth it IMHO
