Exactly.

A friend of mine has a son in college, and him and a few of his frat bros contracted with a Chinese factory to private label some existing $9 AirPod style buds.

He marketed it with a fancy website, spam emails, and some slick Facebook ads. Sold hundreds of them a month for $99.99 a pair. One month before Christmas he even sold 1,000 pairs.

I asked him about them because he knows I’m into audio, and he said “oh you don’t want ours; they’re total junk.”

He doesn’t sell them anymore because he apparently thought he could get away without paying taxes on the income and the IRS wouldn’t notice. He’s kinda in some hot water right now lol

The point is a huge percentage of the stuff you see on crowd funding sites is fly by night scams or shady operations. It’s often considered by investors as the ‘Wild West’, where just about anything goes.

Yup. Buy Chi-Fi that is unabashedly Chi-Fi, not Chi-Fi masquerading as some ingenious product. You could buy the Raycon and "Power your Hustle" for $79.99 or you can buy the "XIKER" for $26.99 and still, hopefully, "Power your Hustle".

QCY T1C, just got them. Thanks guys for the inexpensive recommendation. They are surprisingly good sounding (with Spinfits). Surprisingly small and light. Good connections too. I like them!

Sweetness. Please report on battery life. I am interested to know if they have quietly solved battery issues.

Yes, please.

Actually size wise they are not that bad. The price is still too steep for me. Enjoy them.

both look pretty decent, Aliexpress has them for $26. Has anyone used either version of the airdots?

$10 coupon.
Anyone tried these? AAC and looking good otherwise too.

Anyway... Got my Anbes 359 today, and don't think I need any other TWS Put on Comply TW tips, and they fit amazingly for me. Sound, fit, comfort, volume controls, connection, battery... It really is ticking every box for $30.

My friend want to buy the 359 too. Is $34 on Aliexpress (-$3 new user coupon) the cheapest out there?

Used to think that aptx is just gimmick......turns out the difference between SBC and aptx is immense. Sennheiser MTW sounds boomy and overwhelming with SBC, bass response get much tighter with aptx.

Used them today. The battery life seems the same. I've never really had a issue myself as I only use them for 2 hours while I'm at the gym.

The main problem for me with the 65t is not the tuning, but the clipping distortion and noise floor of the left bud. It seems many people either don't have it or don't notice it, but there is a fairly large number of complaints about it. The Active 65t I tried in store and my own regular 65t have the problem. The sealing is also an issue for me. The medium tips are the most comfortable but the bass doesn't always seal properly especially when commuting. The large tips seal a bit better but the flange flexes back on my ear which is very uncomfortable.

What store did you find that will let you try them on in the store? I don't know of any stores around me other than Bose that does in-store earbud tryouts.

Glad you like the Anbes 359 they are a truly great TWS for the price(some people say better the the $300 Senns TWS). Yep $31 is a good price. I paid $31.44 for mine on amazon flash sale. I would skip those J.ZAO and get the Anbes 360(I have not heard them, yet, but reviews seem good). If I ever get a good price($30) on them I'd buy them without hesitation.

My local Best Buy Canada had a Jabra salesman there one day. It was a few weeks before Boxing Day and the 65t were on sale for 150$ CAD and the Actives for 180$.
