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

December? That's a long time...

Speaking of release schedules, do we have any data for when new models are coming out? The new JBLs shown off at CES simply are listed as 'summer' the last I saw. Anything would be helpful, though I fear we are at the mercy of marketing departments and sales figures (I'm looking at you Bose and Jabra).

Well after all they are foremost businesses making money so any action will primarily be based on how they believe they can make most money in the best way

I read yesterday somewhere that they would be released next month.

Hi guys,

Looking for a recommendation for a tws pair here. Tried looking through the posts but it's hard to pick things apart.

Sound wise I like deep, strong bass and clear highs, don't really care that much about mids. Looking for something under 100 but under 50 would be even better. Don't care that much about profile, and battery life isn't a huge issue so it's okay if it's just average. Would prefer tips that go in the ear (not airpod style).

Thank ya!

Consider the Syllable S101, after 50hrs of play they are sounding pretty darn good.

QCY T1C

What's a good place to get those?

Aliexpress, eBay, Amazon

Be aware they’re also sold under the model QCY QS1. It’s literally the same thing.

Also be aware that the T1C is NOT the same as the T1 or T1 Pro.

And the T1C doesn’t have a cover/lid on the charge case. So if that’s an issue for you (is pressing buttons accidentally while in your pocket), then get the T2C model (which is literally the same bud as T1C, but has an upgraded charge case).

The right rubber button of my Anbes 359 fell off so I'm now looking for another pair of spare TWS.

Should it be the updated Astrotec S60 or 1More E1026BT...

Heyo,

has anyone here ever tried one of those 'bullet' shaped TWE? I am just curious if they are as minimalistic as they appear, don't expect much battery life out of those, but if they fit nicely and sound ok I would probably like to have one set of those as a backup / for quick walks. Any recommendations? They are so no-name that I could only find some doing image searches

While they look pretty identical on all photos (with different cases), in older posts they are allegedly 16mm in diameter (at 5gr weight), while newer ones in the 30$ range claim 14mm (and 3.7gr) ...

My inner voices keep yelling 'those will sound tinny, they will only work for a day, if at all, the battery lasts 15 minutes, this is 2 year old stock people try to sell off!' ... but somehow ... fascinated by small and pocketable stuff




Ouch !

hi does anyone here have the whizzer tp1 curious how these sound everyone give good feedback on aliexpress

Okay. Today my Creative Outlier Air arrived, and I wanna give my first impressions.

Before I start I want to let you know I am ignorant about earphones, I am no audiophile at all. The best earphones I had in my life were the wired AKG that came with the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the wired headset of Marley, named "Positive Vibrations II".

To me, they sound really really good. I tried them on some chill beats, and the instruments are clearly recognisable, they do not overlap or drown out. The seal is great, they hurt my ears a bit, but that's a problem of mine, my ear canals are thinner than normal. When I put them on, I can't hear anything at all, complete isolation.

The only thing I don't like much so far are the controls, I think I'm more of a touch-controls user. They are a bit hard to press, when I do, the earphones go deeper in my ear, and it's honestly annoying.

There's a tiny bit of latency when I watch vids on YouTube.

Also, when music isn't playing, there's a noticeable background hissing.

I'll let you know after a week of burning in, there's 2 years warranty, right? If I break them or anything, they shall send me a new pair?

I tried using my outlier air for the first time this morning in the gym but wasn't able to achieve a good seal, as a result they didn't sound great and I had to crank up the volume.
I'm going to see if I can remedy this problem by trying different tips I have lying around.

My video about FlyPods Lite. In short, modern TWS is much better than one I've tried last year

Has anyone actually taken delivery of the powerbeats pro yet? the only things i can find review wise online are people comparing them to AirPods. its a pretty low bar sound quality wise in my option.

I ordered when the ordering went live, received them last Friday, and returned them on Tuesday. Just couldn't get them to fit comfortably, and they're designed to sit at the outer edge of the ear canal, so they don't isolate very well (albeit a bit better than the AirPods). Since my primary usage is in and around NYC, including the subway, they just didn't work for me. They sounded great in a quiet room -- but what's the point of that? I'm disappointed, because the convenience of the H1 chip can't be replicated, and the Class 1 range was amazing.
