Different strokes for different folks. I studied music engineering as well and have owned most if not all of what you’re listing. Some have stayed, others gone. I’ll never be truly happy. Chasing a dream.
Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

Heres an example, On the way home tonight I stopped in at TJ Max, they just received a new shipment of TWS phones.
Some i’ve never hear of, Chinese brands like POM, Airstream, Airbuds and others, then there’s JBL and Philips.. Well I know Philips, along with Sony, invented the CD player. They at one point made the most coveted ADC’s and DAC’s in the business, even more so than Burr Brown for music…
So I picked up thePhilips, out the door for $21.65.. (heavily discounted)
Now these things sound way better than they should at this price point.
Looks like they’re the 3000 series…
I’d have to say my other much more expensive unit’s do sound better, but the difference is not huge, vast nor earth shattering.
We live in good times if you’re a music lover…

1MORE Evo or Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro?
Just weighing my options here. It's difficult to choose because the L3P seems to not be my ideal tuning, but I know from my Soundcore Q30s that at least they respond to EQ really well and sound pretty frickin' awesome for the price. I'm worried that they'll be a bit like the Devialet Geminis though, where the bass is certainly impressive for electronic music, but anything that's sort of more vocal-centric or more based around guitars etc all sound tinny and not resolving at all, the mids feel heavily scooped out, and adjusting it with EQ makes it sound very unnatural.
Not really a fan of that design either.
The 1more Evos seem more like my type of sound signature, but I also feel like I've seen varied reviews on how good they are otherwise.
Bonus: Lypertek Z5 and Final ZE3000 in the running as well.
Mostly looking for great audio and nothing else is really prioritized (well, connection stability maybe) but I would love if phone calls were decent too.

I have both the 1More Evo and the L3P. Let me give you my thoughts:
Case. 1More Evo has a really good case. The L3P is one of the more difficult ones to get the headphones back into.
Comfort. 1More Evo are smaller, lighter and more comfortable. They don’t need the ear fins that fail after a few months on the L3Pro but until that happened they were average comfort wise.
Calls: They are both quite good though I’ve had much more luck with the 1More Evo in more difficult conditions.
ANC: Both are average and both very dependent on the fit you get. Not a reason to buy either. Quirk with the Evo is that it always goes to non ANC mode after case opening and that adaptive works better that manual.
App: Soundcore wins big time. Lots of options, frequently updated. Manual EQ adjustment. Can almost change anything.
Sound: The L3P has the best bass but treble that I could barely control and always sounded a little metallic. You will need to play with the EQ on the L3Pro for sure. 1More Evo has much better stock tuning but only has SoundID to change it, which is very hit or miss. I have managed to make it how I want it after several attempts but do go back to the original sometimes.
If I was to buy purely on sound then I’d probably go for the L3Pro but they may be uncomfortable, you need to be insensitive to sibilance, play with the app and realise the ear fins won’t last. OTOH I’m quite happy with the 1More Evo as daily drivers in spite of its numerous quirks and simple app.
Neither are the best but for the $125 I bought them both for, they are good value… for the full retail, I’m not so sure.

Im quite interested in the Linkbuds S, mostly because of their small size coupled with great ANC and decent SQ! But man , the lack of Wireless charghing is just such a disappointment. I've gotten too used to just put down my TWS-cases on a wireless charger at my desk.
Might pick them up from Amazon long with Samsungs new offering in August tho!
And Sony has even advertised that the Linkbuds S will be ready for LE audio, which will hopefully mean even better battery life, low latency and possibly multi-point in a feature update.
But yeah, I can't understand why Sony ditched wireless charging, might be a deal-breaker for me...Wireless charging is very useful for a small battery device like TWS, much more so than a phone.

Sorry, meant it as a joke that's all!
You can use 50€ of vouchers for Soundpeats H1 on Amazon.de.

So I got the blessing 2 yesterday and it's the first set I've get runs really well on utws5. Xenns up sound decent, but they really need an amp to shine. I tried fiio fd7, fh9, gh5s, and fa7s thinking fiio would pair well but I thought they were all underwhelming. The fh9 were the best of the bunch, but overall none were very good.
Curious though if I should get the Dusk instead as I read they have better bass impact, though wirh EQ the blessing 2 has decent bass.

Wireless charging had to be removed so there is one more reason to buy their new TOTL TWS
For me the very small case size is a nice improvement which would be larger and slightly heavier with Wireless charging. And while the case is tiny it would still allow you to use Spinfit CP100 or other tips...
I am still considering buying them again - I decided against them and kept the Technics az60. Now waiting for some Samsung Buds Pro and the Nura Nuraloop to arrive.

Ditto. Same reason I haven't grabbed either the linkbuds or linkbuds S.
That and I already have the xm4's.
Beoplay EX discounted to 350€ on Amazon.de (out of stock atm) made me pull the trigger. Still not sure are they worth the extra 100€ over the MTW3, but I want to test. Im still in my return window for the MTW3.
I don't use, or very rarely use anc, which I guess is non existent in the EX. Actually I once tried the anc on the MTW3, which I thought didn't do much of anything. I probably had a bad seal...
Anyone here with MTW3 and the EX? The design looks nice, even though its a stem design.

Anybody here who tried both the Galaxy buds and Final Ze3000? Confused as hell between these two
Whoa! Is it a TWS version of the A8000?Uh-Oh! We got trouble...for erockg's wallet. New Final flagship ZE8000...
Buuuuut, it won't be around till later this year so still time to put a little cash on the side here and there.
