These look like Rowkin. Look at Rowkin.com or search Amazon. Would be really surprised if they sound any good.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 !
Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

I had a pair of the first ones that came out years and years ago, i didnt like the way that they sat just outside the ear canal. Everything i've read about them goes on about the isolation, so i thought they would be different to what i'd tried before. thats really disappointed me as well.

Let me update the situation with my Creative Outlier Air:
The left bud stopped working as expected. Sound is very soft and muffled compared to the right one. I tried to un-pair, re-pair, master reset several times, but it seems there is nothing to do to have that fixed.
I contacted the support team already. They were very swift and agreed to change my pair after few hours since I sent the request.
You'll be hearing more from me in probably three weeks.
This all happened today, after I left them charging overnight.

Got the Galaxy Buds yesterday. On the "clear" EQ setting they actually sound pretty neutral. I'm liking what I'm hearing.
New buds popped up on e-earphone. Sporting a QCC3020 chip, they have aptx, 13mm drivers, and 20 hours of battery life...but they don't have a charging case! It seems to come with a split micro usb to charge both buds at the same time? Guess they are not water proof. They look a little big, too...anyways, it's something new-ish...

Very retro design. Kind of a circa-1998-2003 Bluetooth 2.0 headset look.
Just joking around. The specs look good. But I can already hear people complaining about having to charge them with a split microUSB cable...

In the meanwhile, can you guys suggest me anything in the lower end of TWS? Something really budget price, but that is reliable and quite neutral sounding. I heard that Tiso I4 rock in that. Is that so?

So, my Jabra Elite Sport seem to be really dead by now ... I loved them when they were working and as long as that one pair of included mem-foam tips in my size was not broken .. in the end, I had not used them for over a year and now they won't charge at all ...
I really liked how they sat in my ears, that matte-runner material and so far I only see the Havit G1 that look a bit like that ... but I am a bit mixed about what I am reading so far (i.e. proper seal, sound muddy?) ... is there anything else out there? I keep scrolling through AliX (wishing there was a filter for 'no airpod clones pls') ... so, I ask you fine people

Perfect! Your response helped me to find a treasure trove of (very very mixed) reviews to make up a better picture.
Yeah, rather not those guys. Pairing and connection seems to be the main issue.

Also, anyone tried Ticpods or the new Skullcandy Indy? Still looking for anybody who could review Whizzer TP1

Why not send the anbes back and get a new pair? Another option would be these, which I really like and own. Neutral and clear treble and real bass no bump: https://www.amazon.com/【Upgraded-Ca...ords=Honshoop&qid=1558021366&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Seems like local Walmart has alot of cheap options and like Amazon can be returned for a refund in person: https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=0&query=truly+wireless+earphones
Are you getting a pair as well? I'm very likely going to but wondering if there's promo code for the upcoming CEE...
