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

If anyone lives near a TJ Max or Marshalls, they have Skullcandy and Soundcore TWS for real cheap. Just got these in and under $20. Usually $60-$89…. Good stocking stuffers..

The Pearl pros were praised here by many when they were $350, I can’t believe anyone can fault them under $150. TWS opinions are just impossible to pin down.

It sounds good but the fit is not universal. I don't know what Denon are thinking when they design the DPP. My ears fit the DPP very well, but even I can see many people who will complain about the fit.

They're just Nuratrue Pro buds rebranded/packaged and re-released when Denon bought the company. First and second pass, they used to kill my ears. Yet I bought them a third time earlier this week. Price was too good to pass up. Always loved the sound and sub bass with them. Oddly enough, I'm having better luck with fit right now using some Azla tips. No pain, all gain.

Black Friday Moments sale. Just opened with my trusty parcel box opener.

Yep. These are good. Well tuned, well balanced bass impact. Coherent. A little rolled off on the treble.

Reminds me of the ATH-TWX9. They’re not the most comfortable and I quickly tip rolled to Eletech.

Me as well. I tried a couple of wing/tip combos but found the small wing and large tips give me the best fit. That sound....oh my! My third time as well.

Aviot -ZX1 are $271 today on amazon.

I’ve had mine over a month now, and love the sound quality.

Is the Aviot ZX1 worth buying to listen on an iPhone?

It’s what I use.

I have never had any Noble, I would still like to try the next Rex5, I can tell you that the Pi8 really satisfies me. Excellent SQ and great comfort. In addition, it has a truly remarkable loudness. Not comparable to any other TWS I have had.

Amazing sound very bad comfort if I can get that comfort part figured day and night I will get this that Massimo sound personalization is a game changer any ideas to make this more comfortable??? Anyone

Came to say that for me, it took much more work to achieve comfort with the NuraTrue Pro (same as Denon Perl Pro before rebranding) than I have experienced, but once I found it (literally, took months with time spent with more comfortable options) these were so rewarding that I sold off any others that had any residual value. Currently using AZLA SednaEarFit Xelastic II. Of note, I think part of the reason this took so long for me is not having the correct tip sizes. My canals run larger, but with the large diameter of the nozzles on the NuraTrue (DPP), I actually need a more medium tip for these. Also had to experiment with different wings and ultimately twist them to get the wings to make contact and stay in place. So, the best advice I can give is that you want the smallest tips possible that will register in the app as providing a seal and for me I had the best luck with the above and the original Xelastic as compared to a dozen or so others I tried. This, and try twisting to ensure that the tips make contact with your ears to stabilize. Good luck!

Interesting some vendors have the AAC magic sauce and others don’t.. I’m not sure, but I think AAC is a free codec, so some vendors treat it that way; less effort in its implementation.. Just my 2 cents

Getting some great BF deals so far!!

I’m kicking around why the big difference in codec results between different TWS, even high end. Back in the early decade of CD encoding and playback, jitter was identified as a detriment to sound quality.
Maybe we have a similar issue in these early days of Bluetooth transmission. Some channels have more jitter on X device compared to Y and it’s affecting SQ….
