For the calls, did you have wide area tap on? Do they have that feature? I had to turn it off on my original Linkbuds because I kept hanging up on people during calls.

I double-checked and the s model doesn't have wide-area tap as a feature, so all good there; thank you though

Have to say since my favorite TWS solution is all Fiio based the new TWS is very intriguing. I also am interested in the Sony Linkbuds S but feel the Fiio will simply crush them sonically speaking. Features and bells and whistles will go to Sony though.

Would you say the fiio-based solutions have a decent mic? I've tried one adapter before (the shures) but the mic wasn't the best and the comfort wasn't really there. I'd definitely be curious to try again

Think the three most current of interest for me are the Beyer in black...

One review so far but he did say he liked them, at least the bass, best so far and he had recently reviewed the PI7 as well so they seem like they will sound quite good.

The other two are the FiiO and the upcoming AT TWX9.

I think we will know in early June. Not that they are coming that quick but we will find out exactly when.

The mic is OK but not great I think my Gbuds Pro and AZ60 have better mics.

I have the FH5 paired with the UTWS5.

The tips that come with the new Sony Lync S are different than the XM4 and seem to be new as I have some Sony IEMs and these type of tips are not included. They dod provide great seal. I tried them with the XM4 and also improve the seal. Assume they Sony "own"

better than final audio typ e you think?

Just fyi, drivers are cheap af, even for $1k iems the cost of drivers is as low as $50 -$100

Generally the challenge is driver implementation, tuning and design, and with TWS there’s also Bluetooth performance to worry about even with Qualcomm doing all the heavy chip and antenna work. That’s what really sends the bill high, and not the cost of raw materials.

I must say, with a good 5 band equalizer, Bowers and Wilkins PI7’s can sound audiophile…
It’s all there, sub-bass, mids, high’s with the proper guitar, violin, piano, cello, upright bass and drum instrument sounds….
I’m so taken with classical right now, that I need to move to some rock!!
Nice

Hi, i'm looking about the Linkbuds S.
I have an earing loss on my left ear so i'd like to know if the android app from Sony (i think Headphones is the app name) has an option to manage the L/R balance.
Thank's

Damn, i'm on iphone nowadays. I'm guessing no app w/ eq yet for the pi7?
