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

[Tommy C]

I’ve been just turning mine off and carrying them around without the case at times. Incredibly low profile and the battery life is pretty damn long. But I can imagine some would be scared of damaging them.

Yeah, surprisingly they are much less awkward than I anticipated based on the photos online.

Let's see how long I can keep them without the itch to get something new because as a pure TWS device the sound is up there.
Probably not like the B&O EQ and such but as a product or they work awesome and happen to me by ideal sound signature so the option to use it with other IEM is gravy.

Or a man purse

excuse me, "TACTICAL" man purse is the more correct term

Has anyone tried the Fender Tour TWS???.

I looked at them awhile back and there is very little info available.
In general there isn't much love for Fender around here on Head-Fi for a few years now.

Oh, this thing has been on my Amazon wish list for ages.

I ALMOST pulled the trigger a while back but something I read which I can't recall kept me at bay.

I've been mostly using my Fokus and the new Grell buds this week. My Shure haven't been getting enough love for a few days.

What do you think about the Grell?
I'm curious about the Fokus but maybe if and when they go on sale.

I got the Shure TW2 along with a set of the Aonic 5 iems. I couldn’t get enthusiastic about what I was hearing. So I kept the relatively expensive Aonic 5s and returned the TW2s, figuring I could enjoy the iems once I figured out some ways around the barricades Apple puts around our experience of quality sound. So got my Qudelic, my Apple CCK, and the stray cables to open the music up! I don’t know how to experience this music on the go, as it is truly a dongle/cable orgy.

Bottom line: I did all this and I just don’t like the sound signature on the Aonic 5s. D’oh!

So far so good. Clarity and soundstage is great. After a brief hiccup, I was able to update them with the SoundID app and EQ them a bit. Not that it’s needed. They sound great out of the box. ANC is good with home hum noises but nothing to write home about. I really like the fit and weight. Case is a tank with wireless charging. Phone calls are flawless with them on my end. Some are saying they have issues with them but so far I’m having a good run.

Got my UTWS5 today and this thing really delivers. Connection is solid, sound quality is the best from other bluetooth earhook I've tried so far and has plenty of power and volume. Paired up my Timeless with UTWS5 and it paired up really well imho. I am thinking of getting the .78mm version since UTWS5 now available on amazon (prime too).

TRN BT30 + Variations, Fiio UTWS5 + 7Hz Timeless, KZ AZ09 pro + KATO.

The way I see it, it's really no different than carrying around that square case for the SE846 (which I guess I was used to doing and didn't mind before I started carrying multiple sets of TWS with me) but I do carry a backpack and sometimes find myself just throwing them in a pocket these days.

AZ60 back on sale at London Drugs in Canada. $199 Canadian. I am still loving my pair.

I’m easing my way back in. Using stock mediums. Fit pretty well. Definitely leaps and bounds better than the Falcon. GD they sound sweet! I’m back to an iPhone and even AAC is killer. I might try the Sednas for giggles. I’m glad someone else is with me on this. If only they had ANC…

I don't know how the hell I quoted that post??? Maybe it had something to do with reading over 50 pages in a short time to catch back up.
I thought I was quoting the @erockg post about listening to Badlands and being blown away by Jake E Lee. He's the reason I purchased that album. I remember thinking the talent is there, they just need a little better material, then quick as that they were gone.

Surely you can't be just discovering that album. I was cranking some of that when it first came out, seems so tame now.

So the fender tws have the exact same casing as the Palovue Isound tws. Exactly. We all know that this doesn't mean that the internals are the same but I tried the palovue and it SUUUUUCKED! They look okay but just not at all cohesive and just tonally odd. Same shell, same case...
