Let me put it this way, ask a dozen of your friends, not into headphones, if they’ve ever heard of Sennheiser…. Yeah, you don’t need to do that, as we already know the answer….

Never heard of them myself, until I got the headphone bug back in the 90’s.. Of course more are interested now due to all the mobile stuff….

Known about Sen and Bose for decades, Bose had to have that overprice CD/Radio thing in 90/00's and Sen made Mics etc and a family friend had an electronics store that stocked them.

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).


Actually, the case has no wireless charging.

Look forward your impressions on both TWS.

I agree the volume control on the MP-20TWS is not great. Better than no control but the jumps are to big.

Was going to respond about wireless charging but got busy. Glad to see you found out. I like wireless charging but it's not a must have for me.

Holycr@p, just checked for updates on my phone and it's downloading UI 6 I think!!! Don't know whether to be excited or scared!!!!

Sad...

No LC3... apparently it was in the betas and removed from production UI 6.

So still no codec improvement or changes even though Android 14. Guess I will just have continue to wait. Good news is I won't have reasons to try new TWS touting LC3, same as anything supporting better than stock APTx...

Whether they can control the volume by themselves?

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

no no John somehow feels he deserves all of the credit and as if he caused the minimal interest

Got Technics AZ60. Great TWS, I feel I don't need any more for daily mobile usage. Good neutral-bright sound, trebles will need a bit EQ tuning, but overall they are comfortable and good sounding IEM.

Ya, the built in volume control exists in the TWS itself. But when you use it the shift change is way to big. I end up pulling out the phone and tweaking the volume to get the right level.

So these control the devices volume or like FiiO devices only their own volume (max the devices and adjust from earbuds)?

If the former and the volume steps are lacking you can change this in PowerAmp (possibly in Dev Options also) to your liking and may work on these Mackie's.

Sounds like a lot of work for $69 TWS, but I get it, it's all part of the hobby. Reminds me of when I was super into fight simulators, and do whatever it took to get Falcon 4.0 (an F-16 simulator) to run.

I'm used to all my words falling on deaf ears, even here at home. Thank you for the love.
