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

Do the shure iems require a pretty deep insertion? How's the sq compared to the higher end tws?
Honestly, the setup I have blows away all my TWS soundwise. With the SE846s I'm listening to Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason right now and the separation, clarity is just beautiful. Clean bass, deep but zero mud. Just took a phone call and it was perfect. Yes, they do go in a tad deeper but less than the Klipsch. The fit is snug and stable.

So it looks like the Jabra Elite 3 are impressing so far esp. for the sound and fit/passive iso. Seemingly solid for the $79.

Yeah, I had already figured that option but being an old technician from way back any point of break in connectivity is just another opportunity for trouble:scream: LOL

And that's why I don't see these adapters as a good long term option if you have MMCX connecters as these tend to fail over time.

So while I like the idea of the adapters and will go that route maybe down the road, I don't see them as a like for like replacement for a good TWS.

Well, by the time they break I'll probably have moved onto the next thing. You know this tech changes so fast it's hard to keep up. But keeping up is part of the fun.

Judging from the photos, I really like the Shure adapter, not so much of the other options as they look rather bulky to me or cumbersome.

Looks a lot like the new Back Bay audio model, Tempo 30. Starts with a "T" 30 and T20. IPX 7, bass and normal sound modes and that shape...

Back bay looks a little nicer but seems to have a slimmer case and that would knock off one charge. Back bay is cheaper. Also have low lag "movie" mode but the back bay have 8mm drivers and not 6mm.
I hope they sound great. Tranya makes good stuff. The 4 mic has me intrigued and low latency. I hope I really like em. I'll post about my thoughts.

I hope they turn out good. :) My mistake as the two are the same price on Amazon. T20 is more on the website and you would need a code to drop the price. Would have been nice if either had aptX though.

Pretty limited instrument separation/3D imaging, should be priced at 500€ max and I wouldn't pay 500€ for it. There are better alternatives at that price. LCD-i3, for example sounds much much much better. FLC8n, for example, a 300€ IEM, sounds better in all fronts. It was not a fair comparison, but I've comnpared them to QDC Anole VX and the difference was night and day. So much, I thought SHURE is really exagerating on the price. I've gotten Anole VX used for 1100€. That thing sounds as good as my ADAM A7X Studio Monitors.

What do you buy SE846 for? For the bass? There are bass monsters out there for a fraction of the cost.

Just my humble opinion. Your mileage may vary.

With the ease of returns at B&O, they are very tempting, especially after listening to the EQ SQ. Think @pitch_black should chime in here. He has a set :)
I’m at a island in the aegean sea and far from the next cell tower - sometimes no internet all all. What are you need to know about the H95? There’s also a very good thread here about it

Nice. I actually bought some and have been enjoying them. I did spend some time going through the thread. Thanks. :)

I've been using a new pair today and I'm not having the same pop issue on the tracks I've tested. Will report back if they suddenly occur. I truly love these B&O EQs.
I also have sand color….. your new set is black?

How do you like your H95s? I probably don't want to know the answer, but curious. :)
I like them very much but at these times fiddling with the mask i find the EQ more convenient at the moment. But every now end then I sit at home listen with them for many hours.

usually I always have them with me anyway but here at holiday I only have the EQ with me - due to the weight - I’ll only traveled with hand luggage

Well this is pretty cool.

The Klipsch T5 II ANC Mcclaren were on back order @ Amazon. price $271.93. I ordered them thinking that it would be a long time (if ever) I got them.

Got an email today that they’re arriving between Oct 5 and Oct 29. The price now shows as $349 on the item page but it’s looks like I’m still getting the lower price.
