I am thinking the 7hz are a big hype train. I read that there are issues in tonality sprinkled around. A few reviewer actually rec'd the P1 Plus over the 7hz. I am curious about that set though. I know as far as technicalities go they are wonderful

I have read many reviews and maybe a tiny number had so e channel i.balance and it seems to have been blown way out of proportion. Also seems the sound is very dependent on tip choice.
For Crinacle to give these the rating he did you know they are superb.

Just be the first to report your thoughts on it back to us :)

I'm currently waiting for the Final ZE3000. I think I would like that to be my first TWS.
I didn't do it... I would have but.... The TRI I3 Pro was calling my name, I also went ahead and purchased the IFi Go Blu. My eyes were starting to hurt from going back and freaking forth scanning websites and reviews and Yada Yada.... I just hit "Buy Now"... I can always send em back

What we've got here is pure euphoria with the Moondrop Variations and the Fiio UTWS5:


Wow. I am just blown away. Keepers. Okay guys, yeah, I know... Until the next big thing comes along, like a chip in my head. It'll happen.

Dude.... Variations and the 5.....damn that's a nice set-up! Awesome man. I'm going to go thru my iem collection and see what fits the best with my utws5. One thing I know is that I want the Mmcx version very soon. If only Fiio would've added removable adapters

With you there. I have the MMCX to 2 Pin adapter coming tomorrow. I'm going to see if I can use it on the MMCX 5's to save myself a few buck. Going to test these sucker on the Shure adapters too. Man, it's just amazing. The separation and the sub bass. If there were a hidden camera awards show here right now, for sure I'm winning. I can literally hear Burton plucking the bass. It's just awesome. Oddly enough, I put on the Noble Fokus and had to tone down the bass. After listening to the Variations, you start to realize what good bass is and what's way too much.

The Go Blu has really tempted me too but i just love my Qudelix way too much. The granular control over the sound is incredible for someone who likes twiddling sound as much as I do!

100% agreed. Between the Shure Adapters and the Fiio, both with quality dacs, and you slap on good iems... Man the replay is awesome. I can only speak of Fiio between the two and I truly can appreciate what you are saying. Oh and dude..... You are Def winning.

I have issues dude.... I have the Qudelix and btr5 but... There exists an IFi Go Blu... Lol. I can't imagine it will be some monumental upgrade over qudelix but coming from some people whose opinions I can trust... There is a SQ difference. I'm also thinking form factor as well. As much as I live the Qudelix, I do not like the button layout, I can't tell you how many times I've pressed the wrong one in my pocket. I always have to find the damn clip with my finger and then my brain has to process which side is which and.... Not really a big deal at all but the IFi seems just so much more intuitive.

Got my Shure TW2 Gen2 today. I definitely appreciate the benefits of a very intentionally designed earhook. The fit is superb with my SE846. So much more comfortable and snug vs. any other 3P earhook I've tried. Zero fiddling with the fitment. It's just perfect.
Glad you dig them!

Hmm… there is not an untrue word here. I find the buttons infuriating! Does the Go Blu have an app? I’d al like an external volume knob or something

Ambient mode is absolutely perfect on the Shure TW2 and works EXACTLY how I'd expect. ANYONE implementing ambient mode on their TWS or earhook adapters just needs to copy Shure. Wow! Bummed about the cumbersome charging case, losing wireless charging, AptX Adaptive, etc., but from a pure usability standpoint... Shure nailed it with the TW2!

Agreed! My first experience with them, I ordered them with the Aonic 5s. I was underwhelmed and sent the whole kit and kaboodle back to Amazon. Then I tried the Fiio FH7s and was blown away! 2+2= it was the Shure Aonic 5s that I didn’t like! So I got the TWS2 back and have loved them!

Amazon just told me the January 9 delivery of UTWS5 with two pin has been moved to February 18. I sure hope those MMCX to 2 pin adapters coming Sunday work!

Meanwhile, Seattle got a few more inches of snow last night so everything is delayed!
