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

[Not so fat head]

You expected $600? For $600 I'm gonna need a Sonion EST or Mems in place of two of those unnamed BA's for the highs and better than 5 hours with ANC on. That's just me though.

The prestige was $600 at launch, I think..

Still $599 and regularly out of stock. Doesn't look like the market thinks they are overpriced.

Sure, didn’t mean the suggest otherwise

This is essentially the Aviot set-up. So $340/$350 and then add in Qualcomm to the mix, Noble tuning, and Audiodo so $100-ish more makes sense. The "Artisan" wood model is not really apples to apples to gauge the price.

Wasn't responding to you; rather the other guy talking about xmems or something. My guess is these new ones will be sold out by the weekend.

Seems like a relative bargain - LOL.

Does it mean they sold that many cuz you don't know how many they're making. They may not be making a lot because they're not selling well. This is a very active audio file forum with a very active true wireless fan community and not many people have them here.

I'll post in a couple other audio file groups and see how many folks have those because I rarely see them mentioned.

Pardon the voice to text spelling errors

I posted some weeks ago about sending the Nothing Ear 2024 back, which I bought due to my Sony WF-1000XM4 batteries draining in quick time. Well, since sending the Nothing Ears back, I've been using my Sennheiser CX True Plus TWS which I've had sitting in a cupboard for a while - They are pretty damn good considering the price. Has the Sennheiser sound I love, ANC is decent. I'd say my only gripe with them, are their shape (not so ergonomic for the ear).

Plan on sticking with them till they die before replacing them, though I'm having thoughts of staying away from TWS all together, due to the inevitable battery drain over time & sticking to my wired IEM's - I now have a short 45cm cable for my Sennheiser IE300, plugged into a Fiio BTR3 & clipped to my shirt.

Reading you guys talk about the Nothing Ear 2024 has me wanting to give them another shot though. JUST COULD NOT GET THEM TO SOUND RIGHT! Those JBL Tour Pro 3 look interesting too, though, could I EQ them to sound how I like? I am a Sennheiser fan boi.

Off topic, loving my Sennheiser Momentum 4 cans.

Headphones.com ranked the M4 over ears above several cans costing over $700.
It’s on YouTube

Are they worth $116.00 more than the ZX1? That is the question to put some space in my wallet : )

If you watch the video, it’s only because he was considering many factors like anc and comfort. Sound wise he said they are horrific

Sound is subjective to people's tastes.

Personally, I think they sound fantastic.
