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

Probably not but 150 seems like a lot for these. I've been using ldac on my mobius and its definitely a step up Hope we start seeing more ldac headphones

Ah yes, you're one of those unicorns that can hear bitrates above 320. Make sure to burn in those FLACs before you listen so the bits all warm up!

320 kbps mp3s show compression artifacts in the treble region of the frequency graph.

Got my master and dynamic mw07 today. So far not great. The left earbud has volume significantly lower than the right making them unusable. No manual available and customer service closes at 5. Not off to a good start. On the plus side fit and finish are truly amazing. Will report back on customer service experience and whether the replacement solves the problem. Suffice to say very disappointing for $300 but I'm willing to give them another chance.

Care to give us a little more info?

Do you understand that you're putting everyone's life in danger with asking for more information? It's totally classified and there were some who wanted to share more info, but since nobody saw them :)

Now seriously, that was really cheap trick, or Massdrop is going to release something that will change Wireless IEM industry and it'll newer gonna be the same. Newer ...

Since I just dropped 270 on the mw07 and have 14 days to change my mind I was hoping for a hint!

Agree, would be nice to know more than was shared. Since Sennheiser and Master Dynamic released their models it's even harder for me to decide. I just hope that your experience does not reflect general situation with mw07, they look awesome and that case as well, don't like Sennehiser case at all. Polished metal is much more practical as material.

Some pictures of the Astrotec Redspace S60 on loxpo.com; seems like it has none of the fancy functions like fancy active NC, step counter, HR monitoring, etc.

But at least it's affordable (under $100 I think) and supports wireless charging, along with IPX5 compliance. No listing for Apt-X support. Just BT 4.2.

IIRC, early this year or late last year, I may have seen prototypes of them, but I didn't bother listening.

Might just buy a pair for kicks, if the size is okay.

The Kong-X looks pretty cool...

BT 5.0 and powering 52ohm, 105 sens. for 5 hours per charge isn't bad. Big issue is case needs clips to be taken off to insert them unless you don't want/need to use them.
