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

[d3myz]

I've just pulled the pin and ordered some Tranya T3's. I've been following this thread for over a month and it was between the Tranya's and the Anbes 359 which i can't find on Amazon anymore so with the Tranya's getting mostly good reports i thought i'd give them a go. I'm off on holiday next week so wanted something without a cable to try lying on the beach. I'm really looking forward to trying them, they will be my first TWE's

I just ordered some myself. should be here tomorrow.

Just got the Anbes 360. I really like the case and the design, they fit nicely and are a good size, but the sound is kind of meh. I compare them to the 359 and D42, they definitely have some almost shrill highs and the mid is nicely and boosted, but not as balanced as the 359. the bass is there and it's clean but it's not as full as either of the two other Anbes'. I'd use these for audio books, but probably not music, the 359's just sound sooo much better.

How do the D42 compare to the 359?

How do the D42 compare to the 359?

Here's my review of the D42's https://www.head-fi.org/posts/15050089/ I'm excited to compare the Tranya T3 to the D42. The D42 have a LOT of bass, but they are massive, they do sound pretty laid back and smooth though. I haven't broken them in really only used them for a day. If I had to sum it up i'd say the 359's just sound more exciting and higher quality, the volume is louder and they are just so damn balanced. the D42's buttons are much better though and the build quality and case is better on the D42's IMO they are worth owning if you like bass.

any audible hiss or colouration to the sound?

No coloration as far as I can tell, close enough I couldn't tell wired vs bt20s with my phone/streaming.

Hiss I can't say anything about as I do stream via spotify and IIRC does have hiss there. I don't currently have any audio saved on my phone to test with. Got a sound free audio file or link to one that would be good to test with?

Anyone use the 359 or t3 for running? Can it overcome the sweat.

I've used the ST-10 with both BT20/BT20S.

For me the BT20S is better, as I can't use AAC on my older phone. Maybe if I could I wouldn't have gone to the BT20S.

How do you charge these

How do you charge these

Is this the setup I want? St-10? Any us based sellers?

... and apparently they do not have volume control either. They say that the NC is more effective but not on par like their headphones. Nobody should have expected that.

Think these are the commuter model so don't know why people expected sweatproof. 100% they are milking this for two models. There will be the SP1000 version for sports in the yellow and that will have sweatproofing but not NC since the commuters need the NC but not SP and the gym goers need SP but don't need NC. Of course Sony needs two models. This way they will have more opportunity for sales and $$$.

How do you charge these

They come with a usb micro splitter cable to charge both at the same time.

As an alternative, some people have converted them to magnetic charging cables, which is very convenient.

Thank you for letting us know we were very curious about the 360 and hoping it would better the 359. Like I've been saying it's gonna be hard to dethrone the 359 for the price and EQ. Glad you are enjoying them.

^ this. There is a small cover on the bottom edge below the microphone/led hole to the micro usb charging ports.

I actually bought a shorter split micro usb cable and put the magnetic adapter on that cable. I still plug in the ear pieces.

Just means I can use the same cable for many devices, as I have micro usb and usb-c magnetic charging adapters.

Could be, what setup & sound are you looking for?

No US sellers that I am aware of. Smabat ST-10 earbud is what it is, paired with the TRN BT20S.

I agree except for no nc at gym. Nc at the gym would be huge.

I'm still confused to charge my mifo o5, the manufacturer said it's better use an under 5 v charger, where can I find such a things? even a computer usb port would be 5 v output, my friend said its fine to use smartphone's charger

ANC usually works best for the steady low freq rumble, while it doesn't do very good to dynamic sound like music or people talking. i think passive noise blocking is better for that situation

5 v is fine. just don't use large currents. 1mah or below would be ideal
