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.
It's funny I got those Funcl W1 for $25 Indiegogo and now amazon is selling them for $45. But yeah it's unexcusable to not have vol control or at least given an option to have it. That's the reason my Funcl doesn't get used as much and the SQ is really good too. Also the Anbes does not have aptx and still manages to sound incredible. I'm also a stickler on battery being at least 7HRS or more on newer products.

Hmm, I just found this thread after ordering the jabra elite 65t on the prime day sale for $119. How bad have I played myself? The MPOW T5 and Funcl W1 look like they might be just as good if not better and they cost a lot less... And I just saw the TWS600....

You did fine. That’s a great price and that’s a very good choice. Can’t comment directly on the mpow but reviews on the tws600 are pretty mixed. Apparently they may have shrill highs and tuned for little bass. I am staying away from those.

The best option is Kissral R18 on sale at Amazon for $29. Unless you want to pay 40 for the Anbes 359 on eBay, which I highly recommend.

Anyone else with the Senn MTW do the new firmware 1.26 update? Am I crazy or is there a significant taming to the bass? I noticed right away after the update that the SQ is better. Bass doesn't sound as bloaty (which has long been my biggest pet-peeve of this earphone), and treble is clearer (this could be a result of the toned-down bass). Pretty sure I'm not crazy. These sound fantastic to me now, where they sounded just above-average before.
I had the same "feeling", although I wasn't sure if it was just placebo effect. Glad to see there was someone else that had the same impressions. :)

Oh I haven't seen the TWS600 reviews, probably wise to stay away from them if they have mixed reviews. My jabra elite 65t arrives tomorrow and I think I'll be satisfied with them because my beat-up jaybird x3's are barely functional anymore.

For $29 I might get the Kissral R18 as well. I can actually get them for $26 since I have an Amazon employee discount.
Great deal those are usually $40-45. Can't wait to hear your impressions if you do get them.

The MPOW T5 has aptX, volume control, and cVc 8.0. Uses the Qualcomm 3026 SoC. Are you thinking about the Tranya T3?
