Almost looks pretty good. Not liking the 2X bass thing. Like some other sports buds I would rather a bass boost mode on board than having no choice in the matter.
Just stole my son's Soundcore Life Note 3 for an hour or two. Bought them for him at Xmas on sale for around $80.
They actually sounded better than any of the Jabra's I have tried (Elite 3 and 7) and had better ANC than the 7. Not all the bells and whistles but a very nice comfy TWS. I like them more than the Sony WF-C500 too. Soundcore puts out some really decent stuff. Makes me tempted to try the Liberty 3 Pro.
Weird, I can't find any Life Note 3 on my amazon ... either just 'Note' or the 'Note 3S', which actually intrigues me for it's semi open design ... too bad amazon also claims at one point they have ANC (which they have not) .. dreams crushed ...
Might be okay if you can adjust the sound in the app and it stays stored on the earbuds. Seems they are pretty good and have better than $80 ANC. Should be price drops as well. These should be a worthwhile option if you can work with them or if you are a basshead. Gamesky seemed to like them but also used the bass reducer setting in the app. No Qi disappoints some of the reviewers.
New Aviot. Under $100 ANC single dynamic blah, blah. The good or slightly interesting thing is that they are measuring ears and looking to improve the shape and fit. JVC getting smaller and fitting better, Yamaha with a new good fitting design, Sony with the LB S design, Glidic paired with Canalworks to shape their TWS designs. The competition is much better so they seriously needed to up their ergo/fit game.
A bit Jabra shaped there. On the right track or a better track at least.

Well my Linkbuds S are delayed until next Tuesday. Shipping and customer service is definitely slower than Amazon. But I was able to pay this over 2 months interest free versus coughing up $318 all at once...
In the mean time I am adjusting to the Sony sound by using my WI-1000X in the house. They suck outside due to wind noise off the cables but inside they sound very nice.
Sure hope they have no issues, will have my finger on the return button if not satisfied, just to much money if not fully satisfied.
Thinking of using every bell a whistle feature that is possible, from the Endel app, geo location for various noise cancellation / ambient modes, speak to chat features (have to stop singing lol), etc. I really want to see if I can adapt to using them without having to remove them all the time. Also really hope the mics work as good as they appear to in reviews.
Has any one used the Sony app for switching between 2 devices? I am hopeful it will suffice for switching between my PC and my phone for teams and potential VoIP calls when I am on call for work.
Edit: just read about the multi-app function for the Sony App. Have to say if it works as stated that is going to be perfect for my needs! Very happy with what they have implemented.
This new Yamaha shows us just crazy Apples R&D budget is.. Even Yamaha isn’t developing custom silicon, using off the shelf with proprietary algorithms..
Apple will be uncatchable within a couple years, if not already with IOS devices.
Unfortunately for Apple users, this will severely limit choices,
E5A or E5B? I got the B here that just came out, new 7s enroute from our Amazon friends in Japan. I really didn't like the E5As. I think back when I had them, Amazon US accidentally sent me a case of them (no lie). I was the good customer who sent them back and kept one.
