Has anyone else noticed compression artifacts on the Buds2 or Buds Pro when using Scalable Codec? Occasionally I hear intermittent compression artifacts, which doesn't sound like low SBC bitpool but almost like the hi-hats go underwater while the bass becomes more boomy. Never really noticed this on the Buds+ but read some other reviews where users described "bit crush" and I guess it was harder to notice due to the more splashy treble on the Buds+. Switching to AAC seems fine but moving back to Scalable, the audio speeds up a little before resuming speed.

Probably the first reviews/impressions...




Both reviews mention it but looks like Jabra said that multipoint will be added. The other issue that is not cool is only SBC and AAC. What are they JBL lol! The Elite 3 have aptX but the 7's won't. Oh well.

yeah the problem is whether they will deliver or not. They promised independent bud usage but ultimately cancelled it for the 75t. Their reasoning was along the lines of how everything they implement has to be convenient and seamless with their current protocol, but Huawei and VIVO have been able to get around similar issues. The chipset is more than capable of AptX but Jabra seems to ditch it for battery life or connectivity reasons.

I have not and I regularly use the Buds Pro.

I use my Buds Pro with my S20 phone and have had no issues.

Nobody else needs to notice that if you notice it so clearly. It's obvious that the issue is there. Can be related to your smartphone, who knows...

I guess someone is going to have to bite the bullet on the koss.

Jabra Elite 7 preorders are up now in the US. Not sure if someone posted this. Will probably pick one up eventually. Hoping they let you swap sides during calls (I like to use one side at a time and switch during really long calls), which only my Samsungs (I have 2 pairs of Galaxy Buds Live for calls only) seem to do seamlessly.

Saw the pre-order on Best Buy as well.

EDIT: kind of scratching my head on this one...spec sheets that are floating around the internet seem to indicate no aptX on the Elite 7 Pro/Active but the $80 Elite 3 does have it? I have other TWS for music but hesitating on principle now. Looks like there are some rumors that multipoint may no longer be on the table either...will have to wait and see.

@dweaver @Ceeluh7 would you be able to confirm if sound lag is significant on YouTube web (browser version, not the app), when the Buds Pro are on the scalable codec? Even better if you can quantify. Curious as I'm starting to consider replacing my phone. Thanks!

I got one pairs of B&O EQ but unfortunately they get pop/clip issue. My friend who bought the same time with me also get the same issue. It seems this production batch too bad. My friend can compromise with this problem to get the best sound quality tws but i cant. I gave back them and be waiting for my Technics AZ60

I'd send those back for a replacement my friend... I have the EQs and they've been flawless so far.

I'll be trying out these 1More ComfoBuds Zzzzzzzzzs tonight. Here's what they look like next to my APP.

How do you like them? Mine came yesterday and they're the first ones I've found that work for side sleeping! Man are they tiny... I have an iOS app called Brainwave and I played thunderstorm sounds. Not sure how long they played until the battery ran out

 

[erockg]

Do I also read that correctly from online description that they do not pass along phone calls? That is something I wanted in BT buds for a long time .. I hate when random phone calls have the power to interrupt my music listining ... I still have the V1 Bose and was overall quite underwhelmed.

I haven't noticed. I'll try it and see. I do know they do not have a mic and controls on the buds because they're so small. So far, still working great for me.

I've used them every night since I received them. They're definitely helping me. Incredibly small. What the link to that app? I'd love to try it out. I'm using Relax Melodies and the stock 1More app.

Pulled the trigger, lets see how they sound, UPS delivery estimate is next week.
