Air UFO BE30 First Impressions
- Case has no branding. Slightly redder tint than Coolhere UFO. Lights are white but less yellow, instead with a subtle tint of red and blue.
- Has awful, excessive, voice messages compared to Coolhere. On initial pairing "Primary... Secondary... Your headset is connected", followed by a stretched "maximummm volumeee" which happens EVERY time you crank these up to max volume.
- Seems warmer-sounding than the Coolheres but considering those sounded like the EQ had gone wrong with bass and treble cranked up, take this comparison with a grain of salt. No more bass imbalance but MAYBE the left bud has more treble than the right. If that's really the case it's still better than bass as I think treble imbalances can be partly fixed by shoving foam or removing filters. Regardless, it has a relatively neutral sound with good bass impact, but it hasn't really "wowed" me as when I first heard the Coolhere UFO (bass imbalance aside).
Also, as other users have said here, the volume controls JUST DON'T WORK. It was hold 4s for the Coolhere UFO, but this new batch holding it too long powers off the buds, and too short goes to the next/previous track. double tap on either button goes to Google Assistant, while holding goes next/previous track with a creepy "forward" or "reverse" voice message.
I'll give the Air UFO some time, but at the moment I have the Firefly Pro glued to my ears...
Jabees Firefly Pro First impressions
- Case is large with a similar girth to the ill-fated Earfun Free, except dimensions are reversed (taller than it is fatter). Wireless charging works through my 10W power bank, but not my Samsung Fast Charging stand, which is diagonal. One odd quirk is that while the charging case lights up green with high battery, it turns turquoise when being charged, so I'm not not sure if will actually show charging progress. The other LED on the right just shows red to say you are charging the case.
- Case has Type C connector, but only supports Type C to A charging. Not a big deal for my ecosystem, but YMMV.
- Button controls feel rather finicky - small buttons that will moved your seal around when pushed. On the plus side, they don't driver-flex when I push the buttons like the UFOs or Earfun Free. What's more annoying is the high-pitched long beep when switching tracks.
- Fun V-shaped sound with bass emphasis and metallic treble. Sub-bass is deep, but the midbass does rumble a bit too much. Reminds me of my brief audition with the original Firefly, but MAYBE more refined (Jabees told me the SQ is not much different between the two). It amplifies some of the clicking piano artifacts found in Chillhop piano beats (eg. DJ Okawari and Kenichiro Nishihara). Soundstage is a tad small but has good separation and depth. SBC and AAC sound pretty similar but I will need to run more tests to be sure.
- Isolation is decent but a bit underwhelming even though the seal seems quite good (stock tips are wide-bore but there are some flat-fat tips similar to Jabra 65t included as well). Ambient sound works but has a VERY slight delay, and amplifier taps and fingersnaps which sound delayed ever so slightly. Also hisses a fair bit too. It's still very usable though.
- They connect/disconnect only if the lid is shut down with them in the case. This is not terrible but there is a time period between when the lid is shut and the buds actually shutting down. Also, what happens if your lid breaks?
- It's by no means perfect, but I think we got ourselves a Jabra 65t/Galaxy Buds killer.
I wish someone in the US would buy them and lend me them. Don't worry I'll use my own tips. I guess for now I'll live through you guys comments. 
There is another T1 cool long review on the KZ thread.
