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

Totally agree and so far not a single drop out

The tuning actually works wonders when you’re out and about with ambient noise. I’m not one for bassy signatures but when i’m out it works great.

Plus the charging light on the case and the pulsating charging lights on the IEMs are insanely cool!!

I think the fit and finish of the product is unheard of for TWS products at this price range. The way the IEMs fit in magnetically and the way the shell closes magnetically, it’s really fun to play with haha.

Yes they seem to insanely good value for money. I would probably never have bought the E8 if these had been available a year ago

MMCX ? Yes it's one of the "colors" you can choose from.

I have just ordered the "wired" version I linked to yesterday for about $15 with the AE 11/11 sale.

E8 is leaner, tonally more balanced and accurate, bigger soundstage, more transparent. That said it can occasionally be a tad hot. The havit is smooth, with a midbass hump. It’s technically behind the e8, but quite frankly not what the price suggests.

Yes that’s roughly my take as well. In a quiet environment the E8 is noticeably better but with ambient background noise the actual difference is really minimal. Also while the E8 feels more luxurious the G1 still seems very well constructed.

I do often wonder why "balanced" seems so often linked with "thin and weak"...

I’m not quite certain what your reference is but I can speak for myself.

I run a pair of focal solo6 be monitors driven off a chord Hugo TT. Being focal’s best active 2 way monitor, I’d say properly set up, it gives an extremely accurate tonal balance.

Sure, the e8 is a tad leaner than what my focals do, and sure, they don’t have the authority and slam of the focals, not even close. But they nevertheless remain the closest sounding to my reference sound among all the TWS IEMS I’ve heard. Yes they’re a tad lean but they are the least coloured.

Unless of course you have a better suggestion regarding a more balanced sounding TWS IEM, I am all ears.
