I just ordered these today. Same-Day Amazon, so we'll see what they sound like and how the connection is. I "needed" something for the pool, or whatever excuse I can think of when my wife asks me why I ordered ANOTHER TWE. I mean, duh, I can't wear the MW07 by the pool. They look pretty snazzy. I found a promo code (RYOE2348) for $10 off, so low risk.

Are these the same ones that Monoprice rebranded? They look like those.

The foam "t400" aliexpress variant, the mandarin and some random ones I had (kz wide bore?) . Checked the original tip, and its around 5.5mm wide bore, did not have many spares that matched.

Thanks! I have a few sets of KZ IEMs sitting around I'll have to raid for tip rolling purposes.

As others have said, Sabbat (aka Leziii among others) X12 Pro if you want to be aware of your environment or Havit G1 if you want some isolation. Both good value for money. If I had to keep one it would be the X12 for the (by design) transparency, volume settings and overall comfort.

With Android 8/Oreo in the developer settings you will see if the setting "sticks" when you exit come back to that menu. In Android 9/Pie this info is directly visible in the Bluetooth settings of the device.

Does android allow the phone to work as a bluetooth receiver? Cause you'd need the Switch transmitter to be the transmitter and the phone to be the receiver?

^^^ low capacity battery @50mah, not using a varta, wish vendors would all dump the 50-60mah button li-ion, and go for larger dia 1454 of 1654 Varta 3rd gen, 85ma & 120ma 14mm & 16mm dia, 5.4mm thickness...now if Varta would just make a 12mm button cell that was say 7mm thick, you'd be able to put those in an Earin or similar super small size, with 5100 series in side, should get some decent runtimes.

Looking at Qualcomm, last year mentioning Samsung's euv process @7nm in a Fab they were building; for 5g modem's & newest snapdragon SoC, guessing Qualcomm is using cheaper/older 10nm or 14nm process on the 5100 series (since they were announced early last year). Next year, or even later this year, with 7nm process being applied to the audio SoC's, we could get another 20% boost in battery life (all things being equal, as the 5100 is not the only power draw, drivers would likely be the main power drain).

Wonder why so many are eager to get the Mavin Air-X, when the Air-ANC is supposed to ship 1Q '19 according to the PR, given ANC, v. likely Marvin Air-ANC will use a 5100 series chip as they have mentioned in this PR from Jan 3: https://www.prweb.com/releases/air_...6_soc_showcases_at_ces_2019/prweb16009911.htm

"Air-X is the result of the constant pursuit for the ultimate TrueWireless audio experience. With Mavin’s close collaboration with Qualcomm (QCC3026 SoC), Air-X surpassed many technical barriers and brought the ultimate audio experience to life. Mavin will build on this partnership and continue to integrate Qualcomm’s technology (Qualcomm QCC5124, QCC5121 and QCC3020 SoC ) into its future solutions based on user requirements (ex. Gaming, VR, Amazon AVS, ANC etc.) "

also to add to the already great suggestions, the Mifo o5 is also under 100 and a really great performer. haven't tried the pro version, but my standard version is really nice sounding and i purchased it at around 48 usd. i had it for two weeks now and i haven't charge the case again since it arrived

Anyone tried out the Soudcore (Anker brand) Liberty Air?

https://www.soundcore.com/products/variant/liberty-air/A3902011

For $70.00 doesn't seem to bad. B.T 5.0, with auto connect/disconnect. Also, reviews on reddit and Anker forum seem descent.
I had it and thought it was pretty good. I ended up returning them to get the Liberty+, but I actually thought the regular Liberty was better for my tastes (a little warmer, more bass). The Liberty+ sounded cleaner, but the App was pretty useless with crappy presets. It did not let you EQ via frequency bands. The Liberty+ case was also metal, but overall, the standard Liberty is a better value.
