Going through Amazon's Prime Day Launches and while there are a few TWE's, I came across this Philips that hasn't been discussed yet:
https://www.amazon.com/Philips-SHB4385-Wireless-Playtime-Charging/dp/B07P5JSZK5
(I'm seeing the same price with current listing so not sure how this is a deal.)
They look really huge, and still just BT4.1...
SPECS:

(I'm seeing the same price with current listing so not sure how this is a deal.)
They look really huge, and still just BT4.1...
SPECS:
- Big pumping bass: bass+ headphones feature 8. 2 mm speaker drivers that produce big, pumping bass

It doesn't look like it's been mentioned before but I just found out here https://www.lesnumeriques.com/casqu...es-premiers-intras-true-wireless-n137901.html that the Libratone Track AIR+ with ANC courtesy of the QC5121 will be available on Amazon during Prime Days for 199€...Tempted but since I can't find a detailed review I'm not sure it's a good idea

Yeah I saw those before too. Pretty sure they're not actually brand new. Have you tried doing a Google search for the model number or model name?Going through Amazon's Prime Day Launches and while there are a few TWE's, I came across this Philips that hasn't been discussed yet:

Dang, those are some interesting looking TWS'. I don't understand the logic of launching a product that is BT 4.1.Going through Amazon's Prime Day Launches and while there are a few TWE's, I came across this Philips that hasn't been discussed yet:

It is Amazon..... Can always return it. But at that price I'm pretty sure I'm going to skip. I'm looking forward to 1more's implementation of QCC51XX. They'll be hybrids too, not just dual dynamic

Dang, those are some interesting looking TWS'. I don't understand the logic of launching a product that is BT 4.1.
I searched explicitly by the model number in conjunction with head-fi and since no hit, I posted but now just searched by model no. only and see that they are in fact old dating back to 2017 so the BT4.1 makes sense now. I got fooled by Amazon's product listing date of 6/25/19...Yeah I saw those before too. Pretty sure they're not actually brand new. Have you tried doing a Google search for the model number or model name?

To make it up, I found this interesting pair claiming 8 hours, physical buttosn (with Vol+/-) and aptX:
https://www.amazon.com/Back-Bay-Sweatproof-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B07SFJWRKS/
I would get them but I'm on self-imposed "no more TWE's for 2019" restriction...
(insert "I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess..." meme here

Will do, this is my 2nd pair. I repaired the rubber cover on my first pair with superglue. I believe it was you who suggest that, sorry can't remember, but it worked. No i'm interested to see if one of the audiohackers in the group can help me figure out how to get a replacement chipset or add AAC and or Aptx to the 359s.Damn Damn Damn.

I saw that too. I was looking at some of the TWS' on there after you mentioned these. That Prime Day Launch moniker is deceiving.

The 359 already does AAC.....
But I'm not sure that replacing the chipset make any sense since each one is tuned specifically to the acoustic properties of the chamber/housing as well as the driver. Well.... At least any pair that would be featured here should be anyway....
I'll have to double check, but when I was forcing AAC and aptX on my mac, There's a dev tool that allows me to see the codec and monitor the bit rates etc. and both times I looked while using the 359s it was using SBC.The 359 already does AAC.....

Just double checked again - using AAC on my Galaxy S8.
I've heard that some AAC implementations only work on iPhone - maybe this is a reverse of that?

Yep AAC was confirmed by one or two of the guys here. I don't own anything Apple, so I can't check. My android box might have aac cause movies sound great. Anyway I can check on my android box? Hopefully Anbes will release something soon with aptx since the 359 is sold out almost everwhere. I think it's their best seller for them.
