I ordered earbud sponge from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FJR5Y5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I may be able to test them tomorrow. Earbtips for Airpods I'm waiting patiently from Aliexpress, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4-P...439.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.28e44c4dfrQkJ7 .

Thanks, these specific AirPod sleeves look they could help, although the fit is a bit different on the Sabbat since they don't sit on the outside of the canal like the EarPods.

Earin are having a 30% of after Christmas sale so I’ve ordered the M2. I really like the size of it so hope it will work out. If not they have 2 weeks money back.

Thanks for the tip, not available in black anymore though and I couldn't find details on the return policy they mention in terms in conditions.

More generally, while it's always hard to resist trying out new gadgets, I think that with the 65t, WF1000x, Havit G1 and Sabbat X12, I have most bases covered :wink:

Probably yes, in reallity I’m covered with E8 and G1. What appeals to me with the E2 is that it should be small enough to actually use laying down on my side with the head on a pillow. Will have to see how it works out. I did get a black one

I suspect it would still put pressure on your ear due to the volume of the device, maybe an EarPod or Qyan 39 type of design would work better ?

Just got news about the Klipsch T5 (BT5 and aptX HD):

That Zippo like case is interesting!

Should be a few new TWEs being announced at CES.

I reviewed them a couple of pages back, they're really great. For optimal battery life use AAC and make sure you do the firmware update.

I would say at 30% off the price is just right. They have so many features that other earphones simply don't have!

Battery life is up to 8 hours on a full charge too but not released until June.

I hope Sony and B&O unveil new true wireless earphones at CES.

Wow they've just invented oval eartips, why had no one ever thought of that before :wink:

Klipsch have had oval tips for many years

Yes I read that. Aac is a given since I’ll be using them with an iPhone

If the aptX HD part is true, then this will be the first TWE with one. The T5 is a family of product though, so I doubt the TWE version will get it. But if it does, then I'll be quite interested with it.

The earbud sponge fits quite well with Sabbat X12 pro, adding more grip, more secure fit without the silicone fin. They also fit the charging case as well, so avoiding the hassle to remove them like the silicone fin/cap.

For those who spend $200+ on wireless earbuds, are you worried about the battery lifespan? It's a degradable component and after a couple of years of usage it won't hold much of battery life.

Well, that can't be helped. At least all we can do is to try to take care of the battery as much as we can. I.e draining the lithium battery to zero is harmful, keep it between 25%-75% will prolong the lifespan. For TWE, it won't be possible to keep it from fully charged, but at least we can prevent it from getting empty.

8 hours of battery life quoted.. do we think that's a single charge or with the case?

I believe it is 8 hours usage, 24 hours total with case.

Those figures sound decent. Can I ask where you got that from?
