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

Posting this here cause it matters for Bluetooth/TWS audio streaming services.
For anyone wanting to understand the differences audio sample rates, audio bit depths..must watch.

Plug it into your phone via USB not 3.5mm so it is seen as a DAC and get aptX Adaptive on your Sony (would be either way)!

Would be great if their App could see the case via USB and let you still control the earbuds settings.

I was using it in a plane, hence my question approach.

Has he decided if its Hi-Res or Super Hi-Res (can see both in above thumb) that is a waste of time as I CBA wasting mine on his video TBH.

Do the Triumph begin to nip at the heels of decent wired iems? Im curious about these xmems drivers

Personally, I don’t think so. I think the Prestige do, but that’s just me. The problem with the latter is that they have an odd fit because the nozzles are large.

I would love to see Noble incorporate the Xmem driver with maybe a dynamic and a couple that balanced armatures. If Aviot can cram in 5, why not Noble?

I’m in a similar boat. Do you have an apple centric ranking of wireless devices then? Is it just the Apple/Beats stuff at the top?

Not really, no. Changes weekly.

I am outside playing with my first grader and have the PI8 in my ears with transparency mode on, rocking out to some iron maiden and loving it. No dropouts, no issues, very comfortable.

I watched the new Twister (2024) movie last night, did not expect much over the original but it was good and the soundtrack is amazing and seems that is a common thought after watching the movie going by feedback on YouTube where the soundtrack has been added,.

I then grabbed the soundtrack 24/96 (Flac and from a cough, cough source) and it sounds really good, so far only listened to on my MTW4 via phone and PC (BT-W5) via aptX Adaptive 24/96.

FYI the MTW4's no longer need to be put back in case to switch audio modes. they simply do what other earbuds do and reboot.

As in sold out?

I don't know what the T shirt inventory status is at HQ. I'm a bit remote from there.

What an album

I got constant drop outs while listening to music.

Yeah that's what I was telling you. I do too if I don't do what I highlighted above

It's subjective. Both are great. The xMem drivers are great. Even great on the Creative Ace 2 if you want to take a shot there too. Better on the Triumph though. They are of course limited on an Apple device if you want to use the higher codecs. I do, but most often use my Mac and iPhone. While I do love my higher end DAP etc., my lifestyle mostly uses my iPhone and am happy enough. No transmission on any Noble tws case.

Do they get loud enough? I’ve seen reviews that suggest they volume is limited because of the xMEMS.

I had no issue with volume, but a lot of folks here do.

That's subjective I guess but overall I would say not quite. I think I listen louder than many and I definitely wanted it to go higher than max volume quite a few times. Ended up spending the rest of the time at an average 70-80% volume I think. Wasn't the ultimate deal breaker for me but it was a con.

Note: I seem to be the only one with this many connection issues on the Triumph, I'm on Android in case that makes a difference, not sure if the other few Triumph owners here are on Apple.
