Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

I gave my GW7 to my wife. I just got a heart attack around 2 weeks ago and I am using the Heart Rate monitor 24/7 with GW7 and it drained the battery so fast. I am using Garmin Fenix 7s solar right now and it last me about 2 weeks with 24/7 HR monitor.
My gb3 pro got delayed to August 28th.

I am running all sensors and am getting about 40hrs but do not have always on enabled for the watch face. But in reading lots of people have had an experience more lime yours.

Glad you found a watch that monitors what's important for you and has good battery life.

I was using a Garmin Venue 2S which has decent battery life. But struggled with a few things like it not auto tracking walks and stuff as accurately as I would like. Plus I am a bit of a sucker for Samsung even though they often don't deserve my loyalty.

Yeah I would like that too, but for now, Samsung is only competing with Apple. If the battery life is similar or a bit better to Apple Watch then it is good enough for them. Same with their TWS lol.

To true and sad it's so...

Although I am quite impressed by call noise reduction from gb3 pro. From the reviews so far, it is the best I've ever heard. I use my gb2 pro and buds live for calling quite a lot so it is very important for me. The addition for custom 9-bands EQ is also very good.

Not TWS, but 8 drivers and made for metalheads.

Do you still have your Bose Open? I still have mine but don't use them a ton. They are really comfortable and sound great for a open bud.

Got rid of them but kept the Freeclip Buds. Liked the form factor better. Although, I hear Bose added a bunch of features last week to the Open - might have to revisit them. Today, I'm trying the Soundcore Aerofit Pro. Can't seem to find a pair that go around the ear that DON'T start to hurt. Damn genetics.

Now that I've had the GBP3 for almost 2 weeks I am really liking the sound and how open they are. They are really comfortable and light. The controls are very easy to get used to. Like I mentioned earlier, I can't wait for some bigger eartips.
Also on a unrelated but some what related topic I am loving my Watch Ultra. Feels really nice and a lot faster then my watch 5 pro. It has a complication for fast access to my GBP3 which is nice.

Been using mine for about a week and I am very impressed with the quality of the sound. There is a definite spaciousness to it and the quality of the vocals and instruments is really an improvement from previous. It took a little bit of time to get everything set up right because there are so many possible sound adjustments especially with a Samsung phone between the hearing test the Dolby Atmos and the EQ

This should go live on 4th or 5th Aug:

The Creative Aurvana Ace with xMEMS drivers is selling for $79.99.

remember that the difference between the ace and the ace 2 is bluetooth codecs, the ace 2 has APTX Adaptive and Snapdragon sound, while the ace only has basic aptx.

Can the Samsung store the EQ settings back to the earphones? know Sennheiser can do this, which is a big plus for me…
I see the new Samsung’s at Walmart now…

Testing out some nice new releases today.

The Earfun Air Pro 4 are such a big improvement over the 3 - ANC is solid and the sound is much cleaner and leaner than their predecessor.

KZ Xtra is surprisingly not bad - again, respectable ANC and a dynamic, bassy sound that is fairly similar to their last TWS, the SKS.

Capsule3 Pro+ interestingly has an XMEMS driver - I'll update when I've had a chance to have a proper listen

Finally got these for a great deal! Excited to upgrade from my Mystiques.

the earfun Pro 4 seems like a no brainer for the best TWS under 100 bucks.

Hello, I'm looking at getting a TWS iem for work. I have tried the Hifiman Svanar, Noble Fokus Prestige but I ain't going to spend that much on a iem and risk getting saw dust, paint, oils, silicone etc on them. Anyways, I have a Thieaudio Prestige LTD for more serious listening. So im on a budget. But I want to get the most bang for the buck possible and am open to options. So far, my eyes are on the Alpha & Delta KS100 hybrid. Reviews seem highly positive, and with good eartips and a little eq. They can sound truly insane for the price, some have said they surpass the Hifiman Svanar JR and get close to the Svanar LE. How true is that info, I'm not sure. But tone deaf monk is a reviewer I trust, he seems to be very impressed by them. Anyways, is there any other iems that could be recd? I don't need anything fancy. Good connection, great sound, comfy and if it can have a decent to good mic. I'm happy.

Edit.

Just made an order for the Alpha & Delta KS100 Hybrid. Will post impressions once recieved.
