I'm kinda hoping the new Powerbeats Pro turn out to be very un-Beats and sound good. The convenience factor of those with an iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch is pretty stellar. But they need to sound good.

Me too. Expectations are low. Hoping to be surprised. Will promptly be returned if they don’t sound excellent.

Does anyone have experience with the qcy t1 pro with updated BT 5.0 and increased battery life? I like the fact that they have touch controls and the option to either use wings or not. The case is kinda big though. Is their sound quality somewhat similar to the qcy qs1/t1c?

I am thinking about pre-ordering the powerbeats pro. My Apple Airpods are not really suitable for sports and these might fit the bill.

I hope they don’t block all noises as I do need to hear my surroundings for safety reasons.

I ordered the TC2, this one on AE for $25....you guys surely have seen these, anyone have one yet? Heard one yet?

I have them. they are great! exact same as the T1C, but have a larger charging case.

I have 2 pairs of them. Excellent for audiobooks, not much bass, but a little better mids and highs than the T1C. They last about a solid 3 hours on my iphone. Touch is cool and they are definitely smaller and better made. Case is very nice.

Just got the anbes 359 and I'm properly impressed, I also have the ocy t1c which are almost as good, but these are a little louder and I prefer the case, form factor and usb c charging.
I'd be interested to try these against the galaxy buds, and then against the sennheiser just to see what £250 will buy.

I just ordered two of the iSine Bluetooth Cipher cables and right now I am testing it with my kickbutt iSine LX’s and Samsung Note 9. So far so good!

Why two of them?
I thinking of selling Cipher BT cable for my iSine20s as there is way to much difference between the BT cable and V1 & V2 Cables. Right now im using V2 a lot.
I'm also considering selling my MW07, they just don't get used enough.

I have one for my iSine LX and I got one for the heavily discounted iSine 10 which was I think some discounted leftovers from the Apple Store. Two IEMs.

5hr battery. Volume control. Lightning sale 30 bucks. I like the way they fit in the pics: Bluetooth Earphone, 5.0 Stereo Wireless Headphone with Siri Voice Control in-Ear Earbuds, IPX7 Waterproof Sport Earphone with Mini Portable Charging Case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M7P37NR/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_DM30CbX1BY8ZA

Anyones Anbes 359 cuts out intermittently when their phone is in their pockets while walking/running? Mine seems to cut out quite a bit but is fine if my phone is in my hand. Quite annoying but I may have got a dud pair?

No, mine does not.

The range is pretty solid. Overall, the Anbes 359 are a great set at a fabulous price. Not the best detail retrieval, but come on, why would I wear the Anbes 359 for critical listening?! They are very good and I can honestly say that they are more than just utilitarian; I actually enjoy the music coming out of them (they use AAC).

The only downside, is they are slippery as hell, but thanks to my cat-like reflexes and ninja moves, I've caught them before they hit the ground and rolled around. If they made the buds with a rubberized coating, they'd be perfect for a sub-$40 pair.

I received the Advanced Model X I ordered last week based on Clerk Palmer's recommendation.

To be honest, their aesthetic really appealed to me so I purchased them despite the lack of aptx and usb-c. My first impressions are very positive. Very lively sound, some good bass kick, and lot more fun than my one plus one wireless bullets which sound almost distant and veiled compared to the Model X (amateur audiophile here, so take these words with a grain of salt).

These are my initial impressions. In terms of connectivity, they can be a bit finicky with connecting to my one plus 6t, and on some occasions, I connect only one ear bud. Probably user error, but hopefully I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong soon.

I also have a pair of Anies 359 in transit, so I will give them a comparison eventually.

Follow up question on the TRN BT20 topic ... anyone pairing it with the TRN V80? As shown in promotional materials?



Well, I received my V80 yesterday and like them quite some, but they are the ONLY IEMs that get a terrible hiss / white noise when attached to the BT20s ... and I tried many others, KZs and TRNs ...
Was hoping that maybe someone had found a solution to this issue ...

Has anybody tried the updated Zolo Liberty? The ones with the 100hr case and 8hr playtime?

I'm looking for something cheap and reliable to use when I go on holiday and long playtime is a must. I have the MTW but its battery isn't great and the case is still prone to the discharge problem despite the new firmware. Any suggestions for long battery life and decent sound?
