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

Hey guys!

I'm quite new to this TWS world and I've been thinking of buying my first pair.

What do you feel are the most balanced sounding ones, under 50$/50€?

Thanks!

I received my faux "Anbes 359".

First things first:

No Anbes on Bluetooth device, but "Air".
No blue light, it's white.
No volume control.
I can't move to the previous track with the controls.
If I press the right earphone too hard it switches off instead of going to the next track.


Sound-wise:

HUGE soundstage, the bass is punchy but seems controlled to me, mids are okay, highs too.

I am a bit mad because of the USELESS controls.

I'll ask the seller for a partial refund.


I also received the QCY on the same day, I'll try them tomorrow.
You mean the volume control just doesn't work? On mine you have to hold ~4 seconds until you hear a FAINT beep (sometimes it doesn't, so check your device's volume level to see if it changes).

I bargained with the seller for a second one at a discounted price, but seeing that you didn't get Coolhere UFO I might get something else again... Don't mind keeping it for the case among other things, but if the second one has the same sound defect I will file a dispute.

I noticed another issue with the Earfun Free. Sometimes after extended use, the channels will desync slightly leading to a slight faux stereo effect. It's very subtle unlike what happens with Astrotec S60, but the midrange loses a bit of forwardness and the bass sounds loose. The only way to reset this is to either re-pair the device or go into developer options and select the codec option (you don't need to change it but I presume only using SBC might fix this).

I need my Beatles in mono, might as well just use one bud then...

Sounds like these were pretty close to stealing the throne, if only it wasn't for the fit/stem design. How would you rank them purely from an audio perspective?
Have yet to compare them better with the Mpow T5 but definitely up there with the best. Great instrument placement and stage, sweet bass and detail.

Ok, can't seem to attach the screenshot from my phone...

Funcl AI: on now
https://amzn.to/2Ob4HJT

Funcl W1: in an hour and 20 (10:45am PST)
https://amzn.to/2K2998a

MPOW T5: in 4.5 hours (2:00pm PST)
https://amzn.to/2Stt4Rm

Anbes (2019 model) 358: in 8.5 hours (5:55pm PST)
https://amzn.to/2Lzpepd

So the MPOW's are on for $38.24.... starting in a few minutes for non-Prime and already 10% sold out...

Must keep big picture in mind... must not purchase... just think of Shanlings... or hybrid 1more's.... must not click "buy"....

Judging by your IEM collection, I would suggest TRN BT20... half price of what you're looking for, and then you can use all your favorite IEM's with them.

I would suggest Tranya T3's, but they're a little on the bassy side... Anbes 359 (Kissral R18) are fantastic if you can find them.

Someone on Reddit posted this earlier today showing the frequency response with each EQ setting in the Galaxy wear app on the Galaxy Buds.

I'm interested in the Shanling BA IEM's - Knowles BA's and all.... either that or the 1more hybrid TWS that are "coming out soon" (whenever that is)...
I'll see if the T5's are in the budget... maybe I'll put them up for sale after...

Life with a newborn doesn't exactly leave much time to write reviews... still need to do my Tranya T3 review

Edit:
Actually, I keep forgetting about the Edifier TWS... maybe do those instead of the MPOW's? Thoughts?

My two pair of Anbes 359 arrived from Anbes Audiocart AliExpress store. They are gifts but I tried one out briefly.

The boxes are not labelled with any names, white light charging colour on the charging puck, named as Air in pairing mode, and can't figure out volume control. Instructions suggest a double tap but that brings up the assistant.

Brief audio impressions - they sound similar to my OG Anbes 359 which I did not like at first but grew on me over time.

Do you mind to post photos and provide links where you got them from?
