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

[Phaethon]

That is great... Which converter adapter thingies are you using. I have been wanting to put my arias on my utws5

Sorry about the price! https://www.amazon.com/OEAudio-MMCX...476&sprefix=oeaudio,aps,139&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1

That'll be my new combo to try soon as well! Can't wait, they're on the way now with ETA in about a week or so. Let me know your thoughts!

OH okay those are the ones I have... Cool I'll try that on one of my utws3's... Why didn't I think of that for the Moondrop iems.... Thank you man

Tried the utws5 with my audeze euclid. Lesson learned: these definitely don't sound as good with a warmer iem. Less data, combined with a smoother treble already just lacks, to me. Sounds better with my Solaris. Love my Euclid, but they definitely benefit from a source with a more detailed treble to begin with.

 

[Phaethon]

I'm sure you are enjoying them... A very nice set. I'm betting they sound great on the utws5. I miss my oh10's. I think I'm going to try to pick up a pair again. Such a great set

The OH10s are very genre specific - not all-rounders. I started with
“Marcus Miller - Detroit” Yum.
“Lee Morgan - Sidewinder.” Meh.
“Raspberries - Go All the Way.” Awesome.
“Str4ta - Aspects” Tasty.
“Mozart - several contrasting pieces.” Ugh
The OH10s scream “If it ain’t got bass, don’t bother…”

Anyone have the bose sport? They get great reviews, but haven't seen them mentioned here recently.

I can agree with that... Def a nice and well done V-shaped iem... To me. Sound good at what they are made for.

Its weird, I've read mostly consistent reviews of the OH10's on their overall sound signature but some conflicting ones that say it's too harsh and not very good imaging and even fatiguing (which is not what I want)...this hobby confuses me sometimes but I suppose that's the interesting part. It's never apples to apples comparisons. Mostly trial and error to find the type of sound you like and hopefully somebody shares similar enough taste to lead to you to the water!~

I never found the Euclid to be a warm IEM. Specifically I felt they were devoid of any warmth until paired with a warmer source.

Ya, reviews are subjective and should always be treated as such. You have to understand that some just like really Conflicting sound signatures and styles. I try to get to know certain reviewers and what they like and maybe even their library. The great great majority praise the oh10 but on any set you will see those who think differently. I wouldn't say take reviews with a grain of salt but I would advise to keep an open mind that not everyone has the same likes and dislikes. Some people/reviewers cannot stand any brightness whatsoever, some want more of a diffuse field, some enjoy a much more lively sound etc. and it will reflect in their findings. I try to take it all in and read and watch (YouTube) as many reviews as I can before I purchase anything. I almost never hear the same veiws on anything.

To be honest guys maybe it should split into two threads one for TWS and one for adapters. A bit much if we are gonna get into the adapters plus all the earphones to put on them and the MMCX and two-pin converters, etc.

There is alot of the adapter talk... Alot of iem talk as well being that they are required for adapters... Understandable.

It will get worse if you think about it. Slow time for TWS so not so bad but could be a real mess when it gets busier. Or if there are hot new things in both types at the same time. Or that new Noble with aptX Loseless and Sony quality ANC for $199 is blowing up and you got that one "can these adapters power earphone X" question in the midst of it.

I think the ear hooks are more of a two-steps-back thing before whatever two-steps-forward comes next. Sort of a TWS dongle and who really likes dongles? With Qualcomm pushing power savings, better battery technology, AI-on-chipsets, etc. there is a lot to look forward to in this space. And no, we are not there yet

Perhaps warm was a bit exaggerated. They aren't bright to begin with. Bluetooth codecs lose in the higher frequencies. Used to hearing Ruclid on Shanling M8, so listening to them on apt x adaptive the treble detail just feels too sub par. (Especially since I've been listening to Euclid through m8 exclusively for the last 2 weeks, since I just got them recently.
