Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

Yes the Fiio Neckband is LDAC and the newer BT 5.2 and 5.3 options on Aliexpress with all the various connector types for your earbuds.

I own them as of today.

General sentiment seems to be that the sound opens up and smoothens out after a bit of playtime. Keep at it chief! Put those hours in!

 

[helmutcheese]

It is not the sound that is the issue even though someone repeatably telling me to do that,

Sweet thanks! I’m definitely going to order mine. Luckily @erockg helped me to get the adapters for my Lolas which will work perfectly for this

Yeah, saw it on their Instagram last night. Looks pretty cool. Might be worth checking out. I've used their bluetooth cables before and they're very nice. Had bought one for a pair of Etymotic buds a few years back before Ety came out with their OEM version.

I'm curious on how they will perform. It's odd that they don't come with charging cases.

Yah, they don't really explain it on the site. Pretty sure they charge via usb on the adapters themselves. Not sure if they supply a split usb charging cable like the BT20s or the old FiiOs, but maybe.

Just got soundpeats free2 classic, and I'm surprised by the excellent tuning, besides the boosted bass the sounds reminds me of salnotes zero.

Looks great! I know there are some reasons why ANC is difficult to implement in TWS IEM adapters but I sure wish someone would figure out a way to make it happen

 

[helmutcheese]

With 2 pins or even if they had 3 or 4 pins it would not be enough for Hybrid ANC for the Mics to do their job.

I have had 2 pairs of TOZO, could not recommend going by them so...

What mics?? Normal Iems don't have mics in them. Only ever in the cable. Only mic will be in the adapter body.

Anyone have a view on these? How do they compare to Noble Fokus Pro or others?

Do you understand how the newer Hybrid ANC works unlike my older wired Bose QC 20's where the ANC/Battery were in a brick halfway down the cable.

Hint "feedforward and feedback microphones",

it is not going to work unless at least one mic is inside your ear.

 

[Luke Skywalker]

Perhaps at some point high-end IEMs with built-in microphones to facilitate things like ANC and voice calls…
