Oppo Enco Air 2 sound pretty amazing, except for a 8kHz spike that needs EQ. Good detail resolution, tight bass. Better than Fiil CC imo.
Also, these sound very good for the asking price: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B09M3MK1QG/?th=1 and don't need EQ. Easily the best semi in-ears in terms of sound quality for money that I've tried. Connection stability outside the house is a tad wonky though, due to short stems.

finally got the Oppo Enco Air 2 in last week... takes a while since they come from Japan.

Agreed, sound better than the Fiil CC and excellent SQ for the money. I don't hear that 8khz spike, but then I'm at an age where I don't hear anything in that region very easily anymore =(

A couple cons:
- these things are tiny and it's easy to trigger the touch controls when handling them. too easy to trigger, actually
- the mics for phone calls are pretty bad, but then that wasn't a real requirement on my end. FYI for anyone considering the Oppo Enco Air 2.

on another note, the freebuds 3 have exceptional mics, pretty darn close to apple airpods. But the fit on the freebuds are pretty poor. Geez, you just can't win in this game and so the hunt goes on... and on... and on...

Yep, I have the 300s too. The 600s resolve any shortcomings you may hear in the 300s. I do like the 300s too, but they don't hold a candle to the 600s for sure. Not sure I have put them in my ears since the 600s arrived

I'm waiting eagerly for the 600's to hit the us market. I wasn't expecting much from the ie300, so when I got them, I was pleasantly surprised -- excellent iems.

The IE900 people won't come to grips that the 600 is just as good.

so much hype concerning the ie600. I hope I don't get disappointed.

You couldn't peel those stickers off??...and buy a Mifo or something and show Chi-Fi some love.

That's so odd. Mine came maybe two hours after I ordered them. Maybe it'll show up unannounced. UPS Next Day for me.

I think you will be very happy if you even remotely like the 300s. I haven't hardly gotten mine out of the case since getting the 600s. you may have some playing to do with tips of course (like the 300s)

I'm telling ya, I am on their crap list I think.

They're off now! Everyone relax. I'm already doing a firmware update. They changed, yet again, how you update. Put the buds in the case, open/close the lid, start update. I mean come on, what ever happened to just a 'click here' method. Blah! Real world problems.

FW update? For $400 they should not be releasing an unfinished product. Demand a partial refund!

The stems look bit annoying on the EX. For $400 (+tax), I would expect there would be no stem. Just my opinion!

I hate stems too, but I have to say, they're very comfortable.

Looking forward to the mic feedback on these during your calls.

I would expect them to go stem to get the mics in a better position than spending time and money into getting mics up in the ear to work better. With a stem getting the mics down out of the way of the ear parts and slightly closer to the mouth is the sure way to get a better performance and saves money. Of course they are probably not passing any savings on to the consumer. Would be nicer if they were $300.
