the 65T is a solid product. the only thing that made me sold it was because of the imbalance issue with my phone (note 8), and my wife won't use it because it's too big for her ears. no imbalance issue with her phone (pixel 2 xl). if you like the 65T sound and want a cheaper product, you could always return it and try the QCY T1C.

or, you could also follow this advice:



and also add the third, fourth, and so on. gotta catch them all, they said

That's interesting. My left earbud on my 65t doesn't produce any sound at all after about 5 minutes (using my iPhone 7), but now I'm curious to see if it does the same thing with my brother's phone (iPhone 8) or my old phone (LG G3).

I bought the Jabra Elite 65T as well (note there was also 20% cash back if paid for with an Amazon credit card, so the price was even lower). I also ordered the SpinFit CP360 eartips, designed for the Jabra's.

I must saw, I'm impressed with the sound quality of the Jabra's which was further improved with the SpinFit eartips. And the features of the Jabra seem pretty solid. I feel I got my money's worth.

I ordered the spinfit tips within 30 seconds of putting them in my ears because those stock tips are pretty awful. I'm sure I would have been very pleased if the silly left earbud would work :/

So I got my Jabra Elite 65t 2 days ago and they are pretty good except the left earbud dies in about 5 minutes. Do you guys think I should return and get a replacement or can I get something better for my $120?

$249 seems a little steep when the WF-1000XM3 retails for $229.

Like other HoM products, this will drop in price.

I like the wood look on the Earbuds and case. I have some wooden ones as well on a Sivga headphones and 2 IEMs. Those are gonna be Bass canons. Too expensive for me. My limit is $80.

 

[jant71]

Converts to $147 for me

Even at CES..."pair of true wireless earbuds. Called the Liberate Air, the new headphones will feature seven hours of battery life, and are IPX4 rated for sweat and water resistance. Bluetooth 5.0 and touch controls are built into the headphones, providing what should be great stability and ease of use. They will retail for $150, and will be available in July 2019."

Seems they were able to up the battery 2 more hours

Just doesn't seem to have volume which is a no-go for me.

Sounds like your left earbud is not charging properly. Did you check to see if the contacts still have the small piece of clear tape still attached?

Functional comparison: adv model x, creative outlier air(black), mpow t5
Received t5, and gave couple of tests.
gears: sumsang note 9(Soc 845, APTX or ACC output)
surface 3 pro (win10)
Garmin va3m(BT4.0, SBC?)
Akg nc60(APTX)
model x: my first tws. An indiegogo funding product. Supports to AAC. The reason I bought is yet negative feedback online. And their "sleeper earphone" is the top2 best sale on e-earphone.jp . My thought was if they sell earphone for sleeping and can provide customizing IEM. It will be comfortable as well for other products. The experience of pre-purchase is super. Clear nevigation on the website and msg update for the shipping. But the happiness lasts short.

pros: 1. compact and comfort.
2. small unit, you can still notice there are in your ears when shaking your head. So every 10min I will put em deeper when running.
3. auto pause when remove from ears.

cons: 1. The touch control on the left ear is defective. So difficult to hard reset, cos the left one is either unsensitive or complete no respond. (fully charged). I read the thread and found someone's another brand tws from indiegogo has the same issue. Then I knew the trick,they may original from the same place but tuned by different audio company later.
2. My Garmin watch uses old bluetooth chip. Only works when tws master is on the left side when you wear your watch on the left. So I will not blame the tws if the master side is on the right like model x.
3. sound is clean. I'm not an audiophile. I could only tell the sq is between sumsang's free oem earphone and the free ones from AA flight. It's not pleasure when you use only one earbud or under a high volumn. Cos the highs will be broken.
4. price is $79. I thought it worth only $30 when compares to the latter ones.
5. No way to turn off the earbuds and pairing a second device. You have to put back to the case, and pull it out, and turn off your first device's bluetooth.
6. Most important. There is NO post-purchase service at all. No one reply you no matter you leave a message or send email. There is no phone# you can find on their website. That makes return service a joke. Yes, it's truely no hassle return when there is no one reply you.

Creative outlier air
late june batch, come with two different sizes eartips. ppl solved the connection issue. But
Pros:
1. Sound is enjoyable and close to you.
2. The price is good by using aptx chip (QCC 302X) from a reputed company.
3. No dropout when set left as the master to connect to my va3m.
4. Very good service. responds within 24hrs, usually around midnight EST.
5. I feel isolation is good which is against soundguys score.
Cons:
1. Tons of dropout when use outdoor with my note 9. Indoor is robust. But put phone in the left front pocket, set right as master. The sound is not hearable at all. Set left as master, it will be slightly better than right.
2. comes with medium and small size tips. The left ear is good, the right tip keep scratching my ear canal. The body is pretty big and feel headache at the beginning and ear fatigue after a while. Last time I feel bluetooth headache is sony anc over the head. Also I was surprised to feel Stethoscope Effect when use this creative tws.
3. You can set up left or right as the master. The ad says you can use up to 7hr/9hrs depending on the codec. But the pain is, your master will be dead way sooner than the slave. I have no sound of left master, but remains 40% battary for the right slave.
4. Lights on the earbuds are horrible when you stop playing and talk to some one.

Mpow t5
Thanks to this thread. Let me pick up this out of numrious similar ones.
First impression:
Size is between model x and outlier air. This lot (order during prime day) has been well printed QCC3020 (not 26), and 5hrs life per charge（not 7). Volume control works like a charm.(only on some app/os, garmin watch cannot be remotely controlled).
Pro:
1. Enjoyable sound out of the box. more like model x, colder than creative air. More details than model x, outlier air and akg nc60. I use the same accapella to test em. First time, hear a whistle sound in the middle. Got a goose skin and jump from my chair. confirm another 2 times.
2. No dropout in both pockets outdoor (note 9). The connection is rock solid indoor as well. You will suffer occasionally dropout when change tracks by model x.
3. Put garmin on the left hand, the connection is ok. Start to run, you can hear some bubble's sound. I know it's beginning to throw me away. Then I slow down from pace 11.30 to 13, and it's better. But something happened after 5min, there is no dropout at all since then. I need test more time and post back.
4. no sync issue when use youtube on ipad.
5. fit and sealed really well by the large tips. When shaking my head and running, the earbuds like melted into the head.
Cons:
1. When I play, there is a white light flash but pretty dim.
2. two "mpow t5" on ipad and garmin. one on note 9.

Actually, I missed that it was in AUD. For me, that converts to $176. Still steep considering the WF-1000XM3 retails for $229 (will likely have frequent sales at $199, $179).

Now, that being said, that's based on my experience with HoM in the past. Solid mid-range brand, but at 4x+ the cost of the MPOW T5 ($40), for me, I'm not too excited.

But hey, don't get me wrong, I do appreciate new releases as you come across them!

 

[hifi80sman]

LOL! The MPOW T5 have been my daily drivers for over a week and I still love 'em, particularly the call quality.

 

[wes1099]

Yeah I've already done all of the troubleshooting. I think the battery is just bad. If I leave it charging overnight i get about 30 seconds of use before the left side starts to dramatically drop in volume.

Do you think the Funcl W1 sound quality can compete with the Jabra?

Yep, no skin in the game. HoM has always seemed decent but not that good. Not upset if anything is ignored or panned just good to get things known.

Doubt I'll ever go truly wireless over my SBH60 since they are much more convenient and the in-ears don't have that size soundstage and the controls are much more complicated.

Maybe one that has a small remote so I don't have to go under a hat or push buds into my ears and the earpieces attach to each other magnetically that you can break apart to turn pause/on/off so you don't need the case at all if you so choose esp. since battery life is going closer to 20 nowadays. Oh and onboard storage to put some tunes and podcasts on without needing a device at all. Oh, and a leash attachment so you can hang them around your neck if you want. A decent EQ w/o any apps would be nice as well(Mee Cinema Ear is quite decent).

 

[actorlife]

Never heard the Jabra, but from that list I think the Anbes can sure compete.

 

[Bartig]

Whoops thanks. How is the soundstage and treble? I can always eq the bass. I might have a beer later Timothy(what the damn auto correct) been a bad week for me well month but who's counting.

Soundstage and especially instrument placement are ridiculously good for the price, with things like drum solos moving from left to right and proper separation between the different drums. The highs don't extend that much, yet they resolve a fair amount of detail. Heck, if you turn down the bass in an equalizer, the XG-13 actually seems to share its sound signature with the T5 and T1-Pro, but this maybe too early of a conclusion.

So I got my Jabra Elite 65t 2 days ago and they are pretty good except the left earbud dies in about 5 minutes. Do you guys think I should return and get a replacement or can I get something better for my $120?

First, see if you can charge them by changing their fit in the charging case. If that doesn't work, do by all means try to get a replacement. The Elite are great when it comes to comfort, battery life and call quality.
