Really long day for me today, tomorrow will be longer and start early too. So, I'll keep it short about my RHA TrueConnect, which arrived today. Battery lasted around 4 hours and 30 minutes using 60-75% volume. It sounds much better than the Sony WF-700N and the Samsung Gear IconX 2018. Build quality for both the headphones and case is superb.
for those enquiring about alternative tips for Jabras, got this email from SpinFit

We are currently working on a new model (CP360) to better fit the Jabra earphones. Make sure to like and follow us on Facebook & Instagram for updated information on when the new model will come out!
Interesting seeing all the comments. From my perspective, the Jabras are way good enough, particularly at the cost. The SQ is really good (bass is surprisingly good - listening to Kravitz's 'Sister' that first bass note still kicks well enough, even with flat EQ), and the fit, features and general functionality is excellent. TBH, I thought about waiting for the Senns before ordering them, but a friend who I trust said the Jabras were excellent, so I thought I'd save £100.
The Gizmodo and Forbes review (despite taking them with a large pinch of salt), and my previous love of the IE80 sound just tipped me to pre-order the Sennheisers, because my focus is 75% sound, and 25% features. If the Senn call functionality and app are mediocre, but the SQ is really as good as the initial reviews imply, then they'll do me fine. That said, unless I'm blown away comparatively by the Senns, they'll go back and I'll stick with the 65Ts. Thankfully for me, being in the UK and having not got a return history with Amazon, I can very carefully try the Senns for 20 mins which will be enough to know which will be returned. That's what I love about Amazon Prime - they'll take the return, no questions asked. I suspect they make more money that way anyway, since a lot of people probably pull the trigger on stuff they wouldn't normally buy, and the small percentage of returns are sold easily through their used/refurb channel.
For the guy who worried about the Senns sticking out of his ears too much - I worried about that too, but then realised that my old IE80s looked huge (and before that I had the UE SuperFi V EBs which were enormous) so as long as they fit well and sound good, I couldn't give a toss what I look like.
BTW, I notice that using the link to the Senn manual, the Smart Control app doesn't appear to be available yet (http://www.sennheiser.com/device-control-app redirects, and there's no download link to Google Play etc). I was going to have a look and see what it offered.
For those getting their Senns today/tomorrow, is that a concern?

I'm torn on pulling the plug on Havit G1Ws or waiting out a tad longer. The Havits have reportedly great sound and Qi charging, which is a dealbreaker for me, but the limited feature set and the bulky charging case is putting me off.
Damn, they seem to be amazing. Ha, but I'll take it with a grain of salt until I see more reviews. 1 hour to charge is still 45 mins too long imo. Maybe I can keep the Jabras as a back up pair and get the senn's as a main....
Ditto. The indiegogo price is very good for the features provided, but i have zero background on the company. See XFyro's Aria for a recent crowfunded TWS in-ears horror story.
I'd just kill for something like a Jabra Elite or Sennheiser TMW with Qi charging...
Thanks for sharing, something a bit "beefier" than the current stock silicones would definitely help !
A video review of the Senn MTW here :
They are indeed pretty massive !
In the thenextweb review they mention that the isolation is better with foam tips but they don't say which ones they used and that generally comes at the cost of (muffled) SQ. Only silicone tips in the box according to the Senn website.
