Any regular users of the WF-1000XM5 here ? How durable are the foam tips ? Some reviewers think they might not last more than a month of heavy use, which seems short. And replacing them with silicone tips apparently reduces isolation a lot.
Hey we're talking about doodles over here!

Nah but I got a reco for you. Nuarl Block + tips if they're available for you. They have foams as well. Still may fav for isolation and just working.

Honestly, I've never had any bt issues with the Nura, Denon or Bose. It's those chips in everyone's head that's interfering.
I’m on my second ultras and my original Bose tws went back twice. All with the exact same Bluetooth connection issues. Pretty sure it’s well documented. The Reddit folks have a lengthy list of complaints.

Hello everyone. Few months since my last post.
Still in search of TWS I’d like. Tried DPP and send them back, mainly because of ANC outside/wind and fit/buds moving in ear when I walk/run.

So now it’s between Momentum 4 or back to MontBlanc, despite their shortcomings.

Can anyone give feedback on momentum? Is there any improvement in sound or mainly connection/ANC?

Received the Freeclip today and it's so weird how Huawei tuned this like a studio grade monitor which i actually enjoyed. So neutral! It reminds me of hd800, hd600, audeze m100 m500. Good job huawei. Next generation i hope they can do magic to get the lower end

I definitely don’t disagree that you had issues. Guess I’m a lucky one. But ask me if I still have them 😂

They'd definitely need magic for this, 'cause physics says the further your sound source is from your ear canal, the less low end you'll get.

If you want open earbuds with proper low end, go for the Freebuds 5 instead. From a physical / acoustical pov, semi-inears have an undeniable advantage.

Phone calls are bad for me on the mtw4 since the update yesterday. Disappointed
Think this could be my Pixel 8 Pro on android 14 beta. I'll see next week when I go to a stable update.

I also have bluetooth connections issues with QC Ultra (manufactured 16 September, 2023). Even after firmware 1.7.8 problems still occur.

Didn't you guys all return/sideline your H95's in favour of the PX8 or other brand?

I use Galaxy Buds Live for running. ANC is not great, but that's fine, I like to be aware of the environment. Also, because they're so old, they're cheap, so I can keep them exclusively for running.
My daily TWS is the Bose QC 2, despite some connection issues. A bit too much bass, so EQ is essential for me. Sometimes I change for the oppo enco x2, another great set, with a tuning closer to my preference.
Momentum 4 has great reviews, I'm planning to get them, but right now only the black ones are available.
