Actually prime day price was $36. Lasted a few hours only though. Before I could actually check out, it was back to this price.

I'm waiting for my mpow T5. Will post compare to adv model x and creative outlier air.

When you buy and sell a lot, especially to experiment, I do not know about you. But, every $ counts.

Shanling No volume controls and no aptx? I already have that it's the Funcl W1, which has great EQ.

absolutely correct! Feel like losing a lot when picked it up 40+...My monitering failed.

This appears to be a new model with anc. Seems interesting.

These look really cool. UK only which is very weird to me. Must not have US BT certification yet?

This, T5, others. I may understand no AptX (chip) or USB-C (hardware), but what is so hard about volume control? How it's different from skipping tracks? Cheaper ChiFis like 359 or qs2 do this.

That's why I recommend these cheap chi-fi cause most of the time they have more features and way cheaper. Most of us don't have Bose, Sony, AT money + We can get 4-6 different TWS at those 150-300 price range.

The 359 and the T3 are somewhat similar but do have their own sound signature. They both have good base (with 359 being a touch less bassy but a fair bit more balanced). They both have good soundstage (359 a touch wider I think.... Still playing with it). The 359's are smaller but T3'S buttons are easier to press. The 359's case is more pocketable.

Up to you if you want both. But if you're looking for more balanced signature, maybe ask someone between the 359 and the MPOW T5. In fact that comparison may have already been explained here

Sounds good. But I still have the problem of locating a pair of 359"s lol

I suspect they did that due to limited controls. Mentioned that ambient mode is enabled with a long press and track skipping by double tap. Doesn't leave many options for volume control.

And, having never tried Aptx, I don't mind it not being there. But that's due to using Realtek chip, which is fine by me.

I think AliExpress is your only option. A few people have been tried to find an original Anbes 359 in this thread from the AliExpress sellers... Search back a few days to a week - I think I recall someone found them.

Alternatively I believe Kissral (K18?) Are the same thing.

Man I hope you can get a pair they have been off Amazon for a month. I've seen a couple on ebay. I think someone linked aliexpress.com as well, but maybe out of stock too. You might want to check Kissral version they seem to be the same sound sig. On sale on amazon:

Man, Shanling, MPOW T5, etc are also cheap ChiFi, just maybe $10-20 more expensive than 359, and still skip on volume control. Bugs me why. If they have AAC, and most do, I really don't care about AptX since with a single cheap dynamic microdriver and a compressed streaming source in a typical noisy environment it doesn't make any real sonic difference. And most modern Android versions support AAC. But while working out trying to find by touch volume buttons on your phone in a pocket or reaching it out when it's stowed away from the weights is a real nuisance.
