On Amazon already from Shenzen...
It at least has some power for the planar and some bass modes. It is a TWS so you do think about things like volume level and noisy areas so that drown out more bass.
Anyhoo, looks like no Bit Perfect for me in PowerAmp via Bluetooth Codec Changer's new feature as my phone will not let me switch control modes which seems a common Android issue (I gave details in my previous 2 posts).

I got to listen to the Triumph at CanJam this weekend. The dudes at Bloom mentioned there was a needed software update to increase volume but couldn’t get them to update properly. I was at about 85-90% max volume on my phone to get into the 70db range so there’s definitely some software stuff to work out.
They sounded really good. Very very fast with ample bass. I was surprised they were able to tune it to give it some meat and note weight. Definitely preferred these over my Svanar in pretty much all regards except soundstage depth. I’ll also say I was underwhelmed with the case. They’re using some type of felt/alcantara/fuzzy stuff for the case material. It felt really cheap and crushable, and already looked dirty

That driver looks like a dynamic from the photos. Probably a copper outer shell too
These hit a sweet spot though. I like the planar sound and these are actually one of the ONLY Moondrop TWS I've seen where I like the aesthetics of them.
'Need' a new stem design as well.
Pretty easy just to pull the trigger on something like these without over thinking it due to price.
Should not effect PowerAmp EQ as it is done before it gets to PowerAmp.
The issue is what I detailed before, my phone will not swap to CONNECTED DEVICE (PC) from THIS DEVICE (PHONE) when it is connected via USB to my PC (seems a common issue) and CBA factory resetting as too much hassle today esp. with 2FA etc.
If it did I can run a run a CMD and it will let me enable the toggle switch in Bluetooth Codec Changer to allow Bit Perfect.

That helps explain the volume. I heard them at the Bloom room as well. I was like I think these could sound really good but goddamn if they are too low to tell.
I'll have to try them again but I am also hoping Noble updates their relatively mediocre interface first as well.
But for now I'm interested in seeing how the new Linkbuds coming out will have noise cancellation if they're actually open like the predecessors. I know it's technically not impossible, such as with the Huawei Freebuds 5 for an example, but the ANC on that one is not exactly great and it's not entirely open since it still sort of closes off your ear even if nothing goes into your ear canal.
I think with the Freebuds 5 (as with all semi-inears), it depends on your ear anatomy. I have rather large ears, so they don't close off the ear canal at all for me. And subjectively, the feeling is no different from earbuds that sit entirely outside the canal.
But thing is, the closer your sound source is to your ear drum, the more efficient it will deliver low frequencies. That's called 'proximity effect' and it's also the reason why a singer's voice sounds darker and fuller when he/she moves closer to the microphone.
By that measure, the most efficient open earphones will be the ones that sit closest to your ear drum, but do not block the ear canal (Btw they'll also be the open variety, for which ANC works fairly well).

The xMems driver needs a lot of current. I often listen to the Aurvana Ace 2 at close to 90% volume on my Pixel 8 Pro, and though it scares me to look at the slider it sounds great with no fatigue. The xMems module contains their own amp and I'm guessing the Triumph is using it though I guess it could be something else. In any case, I have a little doubt they will fix the gain.
