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

[BooleanBones]

But the US versions don’t have Nipper, the RCA dog, on them! That’s what I would be willing to pay for!

+3, the Japanese version is sexier

The victor fw1000t is announced by Victor that use the same driver and sound is tuned like the jvc fw10000, the most popular high-end iem in my country, ranked above ie900, z1r, dita dream xls, noble solaris. I went crazy waiting for it shipping from Japan.

They are TINY. Updating the firmware while watching Lego Jurassic Park. Again. Everyone should try it.

I received the Marshall Motif. I like the size and the texture on the stems. Bit confused by the control approach and not using L/R to manage volume.
Keep mine with ANC on as that is were I feel the Marshall tuning sounds the best.
When I placed their case next to the Nuarl 10 is just funny how companies are looking at portability

Outside of missing vol controls, they’re damn good. I love the soundstage. Also, for me, they don’t seem to want to take the tap customizations, no matter how many times I try to set them.

 

[darveniza]

Or maybe you are but it is good to know you are not the only one.





Annnd, again, where is the proof that the Victor is tuned any different? Just because people don't know about Victor and to not confuse they brand it JVC in the US but that is just the branding. Where is FR graphs or pictures of them having different screen materials to alter or something. Maybe I missed something? Fill me in.

There is a site PhillyWeb I think is Japanese and they have talked about how JVC actually does tune things differently for home market vs others. Supposedly due to a very specific taste in Japan. UM did the same for the first MEST. You can detect this difference with FitEar , Ocharaku IEM's which could see how Mids and Highs are tuned close with some particular audience in mind. FR Graphs for TWS items are not easy to come by.
But that was an article,it could be wrong

Have not tried changing the taps. Will test.

So I heard the tonality is on the warm side... Rolled off top end. But that was a youtube reviewer I don't really trust that much. As always... Curious

So further to this, I'd pass on the Libratone Air + 2 They're nice, sure. They're tiny. But, the Marshall Motif ANC, even though the ANC is a tad better on the Air + 2, the Motif sound exceptionally better. Sending the Air + 2 back For the price, even though they lack volume controls, they Marshall buds are the better set.

Thanks man. I appreciate the reply, glad now I didn't jump on them.

That was my experience too. They got just about everything right except the sound!

Updates: since Jan 19 I’ve tested the Tinhifi P1 Plus, KZ ZEX Pro, Tripowin Mele, Fiio JH3, KZ DQ6, and Fiio FH9. Of those I am keeping the two Fiios and the Mele. The Fiios are at both budget ends and I’ve never heard anything like the full sonic package the FH9s deliver to my individual ears. The Mele are just fun and may be what I keep on my Fiio wireless adapters. Tuesday I have the Ibasso IT 07s and I’ll have a showdown between the two flagships.
I also spent some time with my Tanchjim Echoes and they are pleasingly tuned and featureless. They may be my dog walking buds

Nice.... That all sounds perfect. I would've kept the same. Mele with the adapters sounds nice man.

 

[jwong]

I don't suppose anyone has tried the CCA CA16 PRO with any of the adapters? Just curious if they would fit well.

I have the Mele just mentioned, but have them up for sale in the classifieds now because they weren't really my cup of tea.

I think you mentioned the JH3 a couple of days ago. I read that JadeAudio is intended to be Fiios consumer market IEMs. If that’s true, consumers are getting a solid IEM, with a lively signature and great separation. Not much sub to the bass, but it has that bass pop that makes me grin. Fiio throws a good cable in the box and there is no sense that this is a lesser offering. This is an amazing value.

I had those FH9 and preferred the Variations until I received my Thieaudio Clairvoyance on Friday. Man, they are incredible. Loving every minute of them.
