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

[Not so fat head]

I've also got the JBL Tour Pro 3 and indeed they are fantastic. Really happy with them.
I had been using the default tips for some time but recently switched over to the azla TWS and for me the fit is much better (slight improvement in ANC too)
Sound is truly fantastic - *Even with EQ turned off.
Spatial audio actually works well too.
I tried using mine for calls too but noticed that when using the transmitter case the mic works but the noise gating doesnt appear to work as well as when you just use bluetooth.

Sleeper hit of the year maybe?

*Limited control customisation is the only big negative for me though

Being part of the Samsung group, I wonder if they’re tuned by AKG? My GB2P’s say AKG tuned on the box..

 

[Not so fat head]

I looked on the box, it says Sound by AKG (this is for Samsung, don’t know about JBL). I think the Pro and Live lines denotes JBL higher end products.

That's what I wondered as well since they fall under Samsung family, I assumed a rebadge. I thought JBL was a cheap brand under the umbrella since lots of their TWS are cheaply priced, except that particular one.

Weird one. GBP3 - My partner and I send a lot of video messages back and forth via IG chat. These buds just don't pick up the sound of my voice unless I hold the phone right next to my mouth.

Unusual one I know but can anyone think of a setting or anything that might need adjusting ?

Listed my mtw4 for any folks interested, check out my feedback too.

I'm still waiting for the groundbreaking TWS to come out?

anyone with the Jabra Elite 10 who has also heard the v2 have any takes on the ANC, etc?

After trying quite a few of the TWS's on this thread, I can say that my most used/loved is the Devialet Gemini II and use it 90% of the time. Runner-up is the B&W Pi8 and using that case as the transmitter.

Others that I tried, include the Noble Triumph, B&O Beoplay EX, and AirPods Pro 2 (used for calling convenience with iPhone).

You really can’t beat the Geminis. I feel foolish, but I broke down and bought them again after I had returned them. I missed that sound. Only one I’ve tried that really makes me enjoy every song I listen to. Very unique and clean sound.

 

[ZMan2k2]

Well, it’s official. The Creative BT-W6 and my DPP…….wonderful! Now some REAL sound quality from my iPhone.

 

[PixelSquish]

for $450+ the gemini II better do my dishes, cut my grass, and run to the store to get me beer. all on one charge too.

Soon... there are quadbrid DD + EST + BC + BA driver TWS iems in the works from Kinera, other companies will follow once the gold rush starts.

The hard part is selling people on a $1000 TWS that will be landfill garbage in under 5 years when the battery dies. For me, the Noble Triumph was pretty groundbreaking with the sound quality

I'm a lot of fun. What are you even talking about? Clearly by my sig I'm not cheap, not even including the things I've bought and sold which is many more, but I still make price to performance ratio calls, that means I'm so serious and not fun? too rich.

Methinks you are simply misusing that phrase - because it has it's places, but this was certainly not one of them.

I did think the Aviots were going to impress me with their tri or quadbrid design, but I thought they were one of my least favorite out of all I tried.

If someone wants me to spend that kind of dough on a TWS if it's really that good (plus ANC, calls, transparency mode, app) I will pay it - but that battery better be replaceable.

ANC and Transparency are much improved with the Gen 2 ( very obvious improvement with the transparency).
Dolby Atmos is also improved.

Honestly the improvements appear to all be software related *not sure why jabra couldnt just firmware update the original 10s...)

May explain them getting out of the TWS market...

Those could be using hardware upgrades, such as upgraded or better mics, which are integral to both good and and transparency mode.

But they did already have good mics since the call quality is so good.

If it's just software updates then that's just more proof of crappy business practices.
