Did a little bit battery test on H-ANC. So, I've been using it to play games for about 5 hours straight with around 70-75% volume level and no ANC, and at the end, the battery level is at 70%. Pretty awesome imho.

How's the sound? Curious to know how they compare given they are a little older now

I really dont get how so many manufactures give zero interest in the case of the tws buds. I would love the ATs if the case wasnt so unbearable huge. Even if you carry a bag regulary every now and then there is a situation where you dont and then its just annoying. Kills so many options on the market for me, especially from the more serious audio brands

I'm having quite a bit of a problem with the ZE8000...! If I don't put them inside my ear just right I'll get this weird "plugged in" feeling, which also completely eliminates the sound coming into my ear canal. It's really really weird! Not sure hod to explain it exactly.

Are there more owners of the ZE8000 MK IIs?

Could be driver flex? My ZE8000 doesn't have any driver flex though. I'm currently using Comply tips with mine as it really stays put and doesn't keep slipping out when I walk. I have very weird almost vertical ear canals though.

As others already mentioned, just switch to foam. COMPLY is the gold standard. Fetter fit/isolation/comfort.

The only downside is, that they degrade over time. So you have to replace them every once in a while, but its worth it

Noble H really made a resurgence over the last few weeks. Was it sparked by a discount or was there an update to the H-ANC somewhere?

It's all good, I'll take full credit here.

Will have to to give them up. My wife just have gifted me FoKus Mystique which must arrive on Friday.

I decided to take both and choose one. So i picked up Mackie MP-20TWS today. I can't say much about the sound yet, but it's not bad.
One big problem is the volume control steps. There are only seven - 0 (sound off), 1, 2 ... 7 (maximum).

They say here - "Included wireless charging case adds 40+ more hours of playtime".

Actually, the case has no wireless charging.

EDIT: I apologise as I did not realise or forgot they do not have LDAC and TBH to make a high end pair of earbuds in year end 2023/24 with SBC and AAC is a poor show and I know it is not all about codecs but driver tuning but still...

The aptX family apart from LL and Adaptive is now licence free.

It is not high end, I guess never supposed to be.

Momentum 3’s have more reviews than the XM5’s…..

It is much longer in the market so I guess it is rather expected it has more reviews

Yes, but it is impressive…. You can go into a small village in the Amazon, and they’ve heard of Sony, Sennheiser not so much..

Look at the price. XM5 is $100 more at a minimum. Of course the cheaper option sells more. The Linkbuds has more activity despite less time in the market.
