Yes if you sit still/not "chewing" and you still get popping, occasional squealing/white noise, I would guess you have a faulty bud.
I'm going to call Sennheiser tomorrow.
Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

If you swap right and left does it still do it? I'm thinking it is crinkle and the one side builds up pressure with ANC on and can't vent as well as the other side which has no issue. Trying to see if it is the one bud itself or your ear seal and the other side would do it as well. If it is not your ear then it should be the one side and you can exchange them and try again. I'm leaning to some excess glue or something making a vent not as effective but not an issue till using ANC.It's the same with wind noise reduction, I'm afraid
I could be onto something. Or not and it could be totally something else.

I ordered mine from Amazon, so I could just send ‘em back there. You think it’s better to try to get a replacement from Senn?
Here in Norway I know so, but Amazon is the way to go "over there" I guess.
Where I bought them, there's no exchange of TWSs. "Hygienic product" they call it.
Not easy to compare when swapping left and right, due to the construction.If you swap right and left does it still do it?

I think you're on to something about pressure building up.
The clipping/disturbance is not present when I don't place the bud all the way in place, or I use small tips that doesn't seal 100%.
But won't comment or try anymore before I talk to Sennheiser tomorrow.
If I have some useful info, I will post it then.

They don't mention codec support anywhere, so I'm going to assume AAC and SBC like the last model. Unfortunate.
Sorry, but had to post a new find
Found some Flexifit foam (L) I got with the Tevis.
Wow! No noise/popping/clipping at all, and SQ is on par with all silicon tips tested.
I think they work for me because they are noticably more shallow than other tips.

I finally tried the Technics AZ60. Coming from Devialet Gemini and AKG N400nc, the sound did not wow me at first, pretty tepid right off. I could not get anything satisfactory with app's EQ, but choosing AZ70's profile in Wavelet cranked up the 2-3k range considerably and that opened them up enough that I like them a lot now.
I really wanted them for the ANC and great battery life, and in that they do not disappoint, perhaps the best ANC I've heard, and their deep insertion passive isolation puts them over the top.
One thing that I don't think has been mentioned enough is how good their call performance is, not in that they have amazing clarity for the callee, but their "Just My Voice" feature does a great job of filtering out noise. I have an uncle in his 80's who's hard of hearing and he's always my test case. He gave these a thumbs-up for clarity, but more impressive was that I could do all kinds of stuff while conversing, e.g. using a power drill, washing dishes, etc. He uses a Bluetooth hearing aid on calls and he's always complaining about noise.

No hi-res codec support unfortunately. Just aac.ELJEFEREVIEWS

That gave me ideas.Of course just go to the Home depot or hardware store or Amazon and get your Linkbud plugs much faster. I might go wood with some nice purple heart color stain....
If there was ever a DIY mod this is as good as any. All you need is to measure the opening right to get the right fit
Saved me 3$
The results? Nothing mind boggling, they are not suddenly ’closed’ earbuds, the outside sound is a tad reduced and the bass is .. slightly different. Won’t even call it improved. More prominent, but muffled. Well, I can still try different materials. Tiny tinfoil torpedoes maybe.

Using the stock tips that were preinstalled on the Sennheiser MTW3 and I gotta say, these are so much better than the 2s. So far so good. Okay, only 5 mins in, but instant like. More soon.
Made some silicon plugs for the LinkBuds about 2 months ago... They do increase the bass and provide some passive isolation.The closed Linkbuds option some here might have waited for … spotted over on AliExpress… terrible shipping time though. Arrival July 10th… yikes.
Could be interesting, or disastrous.
I had some small pieces of flat silicone and used a leather hole punch. I was expecting the hole punch to cut out perfect silicone cylinders, but instead made the shapes in the picture. They fit perfectly in the LinkBuds hole.
Could use moldable silicone earplugs to seal up the hole. Just rip off a small piece and mold it into the LinkBuds hole.

Closing that hole entirely will likely increase distortion manyfold in the bass region, that's what makes them sound muffled. You can try to leave at least a small venting canal open, possibly by punching or piercing a narrow vent through that plug. This should still give you a bit more bass quantity vs. stock, but cause less damage to sound quality.
I don't use the plugs. I was experimenting a couple months ago and just wanted to show what I made. The sound signature of the LinkBuds is much better as originally designed.
Do you experience what I have been "rambling" about for two pages?
