Probably looking at netting $450 on the PX8 used so still probably a $200 charge to upgrade.

Not sure I'd say you're getting an upgrade. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

Yes agree. I do often vacillate between the warm lush tuning of the PX8 to a more neutral tuning so sometimes a change is fun.

The first gen were great. Wonder how long it'll take to get them direct from Nothing.

Since I'm a loser, I actually watched the release on youtube. Pretty cool looking product. Just wondering if they are offering anything special beyond the marketing hype. Would these, for example, be better than APP2?

You have an iPhone. I'd say no. But I don't have the second get Nothing buds yet.

That said, my Oppo Enco X2 are still having dropouts outdoors when crossing intersections when connected to the N2 Flip. Awful. No idea what is up. I'll test with my 14 Pro Max soon and see if it's a Bluetooth issue on the phone.

I have to say, after spending several weeks with the AKG N5005, yes I know they're wired, we're not there yet.. I would say still a long way off. The good news, is look at all the TWS toys ahead of us we'll be buying..

Hmm, is the phone an Oppo phone? If so are you using LHDC at the highest bitrate? If so adjust it back to something like 660 and see if that improves the dropouts. LDAC can have a similar issue out and about.

Yes, it's the Oppo Find N2 Flip. I had it set on LHDC and then pulled back to AAC. Still having the issue. Where do I go to set to 660? I'm in all the options now and it says I'm AAC. So odd. You'd think these days I wouldn't have bt issues.

Developer options in the settings, i guess.

If you switched to AAC then you won't have any bitrate options. But I your go back to LDHC should be able to choose the bitrate somewhere. Maybe in developer options like LDAC.

I'll go back to LDAC and change bitrate. I thought AAC was the trick

Yeah, did that. Frustrating for sure.

"Playback with ANC off: Up to 36 hours with case and 6.3 hours with buds only" < If that is AAC @ 50% Vol that is piss poor.

The battery life on my Ear1 is atrocious. I usually use one ear bud (right) while I'm at my desk via BT to the PC. Noise cancellation off, 3 hours of use, maybe. I do use them with my phone when I'm out and have to wait (e.g. doctor's appointments). Which isn't long typically, so the battery life doesn't come into play.

I'm looking for replacements. The JLab Stereo ANC headset I have is nice, and doesn't have the connection issue the Ear1s have, so the Epic Air ANC v2 of theirs caught my eye.

 

[helmutcheese]

Please do not say that you well upset some here with your facts.

I had 2 models of JLab, the battery claims are a little exaggerate like most, but I has issues connection etc.

The newer revisions of the old models do not seem that different the last time I checked the specs but the ANC on one of them was good I remember that much.

 

[maaneeack]

Reset the Ear1s again, maybe that'll help. The firmware and phone app are up-to-date. Intel BT5.2/Wifi6e PCIe card in my PC, less than six ft from me, on the desktop. Doubt Nothing will replace the buds since they were the ear1 release order, but I'll see if they keep cutting out and dying young.

Anyone with Huawei Freebuds Pro 2 can support? I have Smart Wear detection ACTIVE. But while it works when listening to music on iOS, it doesent on my Sony A106 Android 9. Any suggestions?
