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

[SilverEars]

I wish we can have high frequencies noise cancelled too. Maybe in the future with AI. Best we can do is passively for high frequencies.

The AKG N5 Hybrid touch 5000HZ (Mid to High).

Does the AKG also do SSC and if so UHQ?

 

[SilverEars]

AKG = overpriced Samsung

 

[helmutcheese]

Nope SBC/AAC/LDAC, Dongle is 2.4GHZ Wireless and uses LC3+ (24/96) Codec.

AKG = overpriced Samsung

In that case Denon is overpriced Panasonic!

I will need to A/B them against the Liberty 4NC

One issue with the Liberty 4 NC is that everyone has a different experience based on their seal. I’ve not been able to make third party tips fit because of the L4NC’s weird nozzle shape. The ANC is also only okay, but I can’t complain about that bit for the price and it maybe would isolate better with different, deeper tips.

It is using SSC but not way to enable the highest sound quality that I can see.

Are you using multipoint? I think that usually degrades codecs and limits choices, but I don’t know how it is with Samsung specifically

I don't have 2 Samsung devices so not doing their version of multipoint. The UHQ requires an update not released for the S23 yet, so just have to wait.

Hello! I need some advice. I looking for a good set of wireless earbuds for movie watching and dolby music. I own an android so apple is no go. I been reading up on:
LG t90q and t90S.
Jabra Elite 10 (gen 1 and 2)
Samsung galaxy buds 3 pro ( since I own a S23.

Someone tested these buds against each other? Which is most impressive when it comes to Atmos experience?

Thanks

I like the sound signature of the 4NC too but it feels a tat more bulky and doesn't sit flush to the ears to my preference. Is the earfun smaller in size? And is the sound quality not worthy enough for compromise?

The Earfun are thinner and closer to flush, but still a bit angular compared with the sleeker shallow-fitting options like Realme Buds Air 6 Pro, OnePlus Buds 3, etc. It doesn't help that the supplied tips with the Earfun are quite bulbous, but at least it's easier to switch to third party tips given the standard nozzle size

Here we go again...

Can comment on Elite 10 vs GB3P.

I do not use the TWS button in spatial audio on either TWS. I do have Atmos enabled on my S23, set to music and I do the hearing test as well.

On each TWS I have EQ'd to my taste in their app.

Listening to Patricia Barber, Code Cool between the 1:15 and 1:50 mark played on Amazon Music in HD. There is a drumkit solo. The GB3P is clearer and more detailed for the cymbal hits and a clearer more 3D effect between left and right and up and down. Bass is bit more balanced on the Elite 10 but this likely just tweaking I need to do in the EQ on the GB3P.

On an overall scale just listening to music the Elite 10 is slightly more spaced out than the GB3P. I like both presentations but I know some people find the Elite 10 a bit to spacious/disconnected.

If I enable spatial audio in either product there is an EQ shift. The GB3P shifts in a way I kind of like and adds more 3dness. The Elite 10 shifts in a way I don't like as it makes the bass sound off, but then works from there. It has better head tracking though. Personally, I prefer to leave this off on both TWS though.

Last point. I am using SSC for GB3P as that is the highest codec option available until Samsung releases One UI 6.1.1 on the S23 here in Canada. AAC for the Elite 10 as that is its best codec option.

Is this your review? I love the format and lack of fluff. But I wonder what the acronyms in the sound quality section are.

Also interesting that the noise cancellation graph comparison didn’t include the Sony. To my ears the Sony sounded by far the quietest in the demo comparisons.

No, do you think I am some Asian chick going by my posts here?
