Dang dang dang 30 bucks. Crawls to corner and weeps.

They are $30 right now in the U.S. 83% claimed.

I literally just ordered another pair and received them yesterday. looks like these babies are getting swapped out. I really love these TWS'

What’s the lightning price? Is the consensus that these beat the anbes?

The don't BEAT the anbes per say, but I think their sound is a little cleaner, better pronounced mids and i feel they are a touch more responsive. The bass def. isn't as good but it's fast an accurate and hits 25hz easily. buy them.

Grunt. Can't and won't. Cries and Sighs.

@Bartig Let's say I can choose between Tranya T3 (Lenovo version with less sub-bass) or QCY T3, which one is the best in your opinion? I prefer something somewhat more balanced overall.

Speaking of which... Hello, 320 dollars of price difference...

Curious about the UiiSii as well. Shill reviews all over the place, but it doesn't mean they're not good.

So...had to return my MW07. I had 2 pairs of the Steel Blue and both lasted only 1 1/2 hours at around 40% volume (AAC). Using aptX, man, it was just a little over a hour. Both sets I received were built in 8/2018, so I'm not sure if the current builds are using a better battery, but sooo disappointed. The Tortoiseshell I had went about 2 hours, 20 minutes or something like that. I was expecting at least that before the low batter warning (which is completely distracting). If they got rid of the low battery warning and you're looking at 2.5 hours uninterrupted, because of the sound, I would at least go for that. But if the low battery warning starts to go off at 1 1/2 hours, dude, game over. Can't do it.

Because some on here have touted the Nuarl NT01AX (not the NT01B or NT01L), I ordered those and they should be here tonight. Right now, I just need great sound, and the only TWS that I have listened to that are pure sound monsters are the MW07. I like the MTW and E8, but they are not far off from my Cowon KY02 or MPOW T5. The MW07 is just clearly, for me, on another level. I hope the Nuarl can take me to that next level.

Yep, the dirty little secret of the MW07. That chime sound is the kiss of death. That sucks. My first pair went under in just about 2 hours. The Nuarl won't take you to the next level - they are very good however. Just not MW07 good. Probably Senn good though. If SQ is your goal, seriously try the TRNBT20 with some KZ Iems. I'm going to use them in the gym until I get my sweat on at which point I'm going to switch to my PB Pro.

Yeah, what sucks for me is the wrap-around-ear fit just doesn't work. My ears are "normal" in shape and size, but I can never get them either comfortable OR sealed very well. It may just be my ear canals are a bit more angled in a way that's not compatible with the range of fit typical with that design.

You will be satisfied with the nuarl just don’t expect too much. My issue with them was the fit. The wings don’t do anything and my right ear kept slipping. Hopefully you can make them work.

Update for WF1000XM3 :
I used my pairs for my 2,5 hours flight trip. It started giving low
Battery alerts after 2 hours. The volume was around 75-80% and anc was active. I watched a
Netflix series from my iPad Pro ( which means the codec was AAC).

I had been sitting on my TRN10 for about a year. Originally bought them to pair with some chifi iems, but the hiss was unbearable. On a whim, I grabbed some KZ ZS7s on amazon and paired them back with the TRN10. In short, the SQ is unsurpassed by anything I have heard to date in a TW iem. It is better than the MW07 which is my gold standard and it is better than the all-in KZ T1. The TRN10 is surprisingly comfortable as well. Obviously, if you are looking for other features such as IP rating, EQ, hear through etc., this is not a solution. But for SQ only, I am floored. In fact, this may keep me out of chasing higher end TW headsets at least for SQ purposes. This total solution was under $75 bucks. I am going to order a new TRN20S from Ali and see if the situation gets any better. Can't believe I waited this long to give this solution a try.

That makes me want to try BT20S. Do you know which 2-pin version (0.75 or 0.78) matches KZ ZS10 pro? Thanks.

Good question. I think KZ uses .75. However, my BT10 is .78. It's working fine with the KZ IEM. I asked someone smarter than me and they told me the difference between .75 and .78 is so small both will work.

I haven't heard the lenovo's, but I have a love hate relationship with my T3's they are bulky and seal to tight on me. the sound is great, but for me they have too much high treble and the mids are too reduced for my liking. The bass is pretty outstanding. If your using an aptx device or DAC/amp i'd recommend the back bay duo 50's.

I would exchange if I where you. Everyone is quoting 5-6 with ANC on and 8 hours off. I will be getting a pair soon and will see what hours I can get.

They are bright for sure, but controlled enough to the point people may dig it a lot. Need further research.
