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

Of course I could EQ it, but with literally dozens of IEMs I don't think there is enough space to store each setting ready to go.
Yeah, that could get cumbersome if you have numerous 'buds in your collection.

I love the bass on the Sabbat E12, but there's nothing wrong if someone doesn't. Not everyone likes the same thing. Yes, the seal is less than Ideal, but I find them very comfortable. Calls are OK, the only issue that callers report back to me is a random electronic "buzz" for a split second here and there throughout the call.

Overall, I really like the E12 and would recommend them for anyone that likes deep sub-bass and doesn't need isolation.

The Onkyo HF music app probably has that capacity.

Rockbox does it. I have about 40 EQ profiles. The files that store the settings are just small text files. You could fit tens thousands of them on a singe floppy disk.

And then carry around a floppy drive for every time you want to change headphones?! No thank you!! Plus, how are you going to insert the floppy into the phone?!?

PS: couldn't resist :laughing:

I'm ok with bass boosted below 60hz, but I find most headphones including IEMs [ I came across] are boosted between 100-200hz to some degree. MFR's doing what speaker MFR's used to do with bookshelf speakers, boosting the upper bass to make them sound more "potent". I think this is definitely true for chi-fi TWS's
Yeah my E 12 is on it's way, I'm hoping it will be as good or better as my Mifo O5, which has been my daily driver for a month now and have no issues with it [once it was Eq'd] unlike the 6 different TWE's I sent back the last 2 months [including the Anbes 359] for connectivity, fit and sound quality problems .

Do you mind to PM me the price? Don't want to sign up just to see the price...

And don't know that there is any guarantee that these are going to be BA's... Especially with the conversations about false advertising in TRN's cables (see the TRN thread).

If anyone else is wondering it's $40 with free shipping to USA.
Not bad for $40 if it's BA drivers/Battery life claimed 15hrs and free shipping. I'll hold out till I see a review comparisons to my beloved Anbes. :)

Australian Sound and Vision magazine do 9 tws shootout with Airpods V2 and Nuhera IQBuds Boost coming out on top and the Jabra Elite Active T65 getting top value. The other contenders were Earin M2, Edifier TWS2, Phiatin Bolt BT700, Plantronics Backbeat Fit 3100, Sennheiser MTW and Soul Emotion.

The reviewers number one criteria is ambient mode or lack of complete isolation.

Just picked up the Aukey TWE (T10 Model) and definitely feeling these. Sound is very balanced out the gate; not bright, not bassy, not shouty. Surely, it's not exactly flat, but it's done tastefully and in a way that maintains overall balance. Personally for my tastes, I add a bit more bass push in the 60 Hz and 150 Hz regions, but not much, so in cases where I can't, it's still pleasing to me as someone that enjoys bass. AAC, not aptX, but my main phone for calls is my iPhone anyway, so no big deal there. Callers also report I sound good, even though some of the Amazon reviews indicate poor call performance. YMMV.

They look, fit, and feel like the 2018 Icon X, but they sound better. I thought the Icon X sounded a bit cheap, especially the highs and weak bass.

Touch Controls, Volume Control, USB C, Qi Charging.

They are also 20% off now.
