I have 3 chifi TWS' and I rate them as this:
1. Anbes 359 (good sound, fantastic fit/comfort (for me) with Comply TWS, volume control, good battery, sleek case that fits in my front pocket, stable connection)
2. QCY T2C
3. Tiso i4

As they have been stocking up on the S60 there might be an issue with stockpiling the Type C IC which still costs more than microUSB. Some companies like Audio-Technica claim that cost is one reason they stick to microUSB. As much as I would personally like to see more Type C support, it doesn't benefit older Android or iPhone users much. As mentioned earlier it also seems like the IC chip used in many products like the S60 are only designed for Type C to Type A charging and not Type C to Type C (you'd still need to carry around two chargers and cables for a Pixel 3, for example). Seems like this might be another cost-cutting measure as well.

Astrotec has said they are hoping to introduce Type C to the second batch though.



True that it's no major issue for them to go with Micro USB since it's only used for charging, but of course better with the more future-proof Type-C.

Will keep a lookout on this one as I won't be getting the Outlier Gold. I'm hoping the price will be as competitive like the S60.

New branding. Raised the prices on a lot of stuff.

Their prices weren’t that great to begin with. Sorry, some measly 10% off but having to sometimes wait months (and having a crappy return policy) is not impressive.

Why people keep giving massdrop business is beyond me.

You can often buy the non-exclusive stuff elsewhere for the same and often lower price.

My T2Cs just came in today. Great fit with the stock buds they came with and honestly they sound great.

I guess now I'm just curious how the Syllable S101 and the Anbes 359 sound compared to what I currently have. Can anyone give me a comparison?

It depends on what. Some of their exclusives are nice, and some of the sales were too, like the er4se they have now are more than 100$ off what I can get locally.

But that TFZ is just a few dollars off than on penon audio...

In my opinion the Anbes sounds better. More controlled bass (a bit punchier, not that "boomy"?!), and the highs are more detailed. They are also quite a bit louder (on my iPhone X)
Volume control is also a selling point with the 359s.

I'm also curious of the Syllable and the Creative Outlier Air/Gold. I need a TWS with AptX and longer battery life.
