Bt20s mmcx Can anyone recommend a nice set of iems to pair with them? Just picked up dunu titan6 and their beryllium sweetness.

Co-ask but for 2-pin version. I just bought a pair of Kanas pro but not sure if it's a best pair for gym use.

Both great choices. Right now, b&H has the G7 in platinum for $389.99

I really want to upgrade to a new LG phone (currently V30) but worry about that they value AAC over AptX for default BT codec. That causes frequent dropouts in my Earin M2.

Bt20/20s hiss so don't expect too much

I'd use DD with them though

I found that my TWS replace most of my wired IEMs except Westone W60. W60 are most comfortable for my ears, even more so than any TWS I've tried, and I use Westone's ultra thin cable that feels almost non-existent. They still sound better even paired with ES100, though during a long flight Nuarl NT01ax sound as good as this setup.

Why not a short cable with your ES100?

Good to know. Kana Pro is DD, so I think I'm good.

I could not find any short cable that is as comfortable as the ultra thin cable I'm using with. I also tried Linum balanced but went back. Besides with the long cable I can clip the ES100 to my belt and put the cable inside my shirt so that I almost feel nothing bothered.

i had weird, but totally different issues not at all related to your dropouts w V30, with my V30. i'd find a deal on V40 G7 or G8. Those all have improvements worth upgrading for imo. V30 was a good phone, just weird quirks like issues w the DAC kicking in consistently, basicly, issues i didn't have w v20 or v40.

So the Galaxy Buds just got a firmware update the other day. They seem to sound better than ever.

Interesting. So they're not as bright anymore and therefore not as fatiguing?

Also, would they stay on if I'd use them during a ride on my road bike?

Idk about that. I use them on the clear setting which is probably more bright than most people would like. I don't think they are fatiguing.

Could you elaborate more about DAC kicking in? Off-topic for this thread but just curious and never experienced it.

For those on a budget, I just picked these up at Best Buy over the weekend. For $59, they're great. Full range touch controls (track, vol, etc.), AAC, 6 hours battery, and nice sound. If you're looking at Chi-Fi in the $50 range, these are a great non-Chi-Fi budget option that really stands its own ground. Exciting, clear sound (Signature EQ), although my guilty pleasure is the Bass Boost EQ.

Looks like there's a new kid on the block in the TRANYA B530.

Anyone try them out yet?

Seems they are just out of the oven and still burning... They come with touch controls (thumbs up for that).
On the down side and always taken with a pinch of salt, the case seems larger that that from previous models (should better shrink, damn) and I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't decide to pack a Qualcomm QCC302X to have true mono mode and better call quality. The description says these come with a Realtek chip

Anyway, the Tranya brand is kind of a safe bet, so I'm sure they'll be a great pair.

By the way, for you fellows on the US, the official Tranya group in Facebook is asking for US reviewers (beta testers) - https://www.facebook.com/tranya.inf...9649357/510037309759652/?type=3&theater&ifg=1. There is an e-mail for those interested. The call is from only a few hours ago

Anyone have any info/release date for the new TRN TWS T200

Hi all! New member here, but I've been shadowing this thread for quite some time.
I am not at all experienced with quality headphones. Up 'till a few weeks ago, I was just using earpods that came with my phone. Then I decided to get some true wireless earbuds. Due to all the rave reviews, I got the jabra 65t active. To be honest, I was really underwhelmed by the sound, no matter what tips I used. I found the wired earpods sounded better. On top of that, I found them rather uncomfortable in my ears.
So I sent them back and I bought the Bose SSF. Now these things sounded amazing!!! I had no idea that I was missing this much all these years on cheap earbuds! I also find them comfortable, since they are semi open.

But here's my first world problem: I hate the case, in that it pretty much misses the point of portability of IEMs. I've been honestly debating on getting the soundlink 2 and a cheap set of TWS. I'd also like some more isolation.

I'm a guy who actually enjoys the idea of a 'one and only pair' though. Is there any TWS with a portable case AND as good sounding? I've been debating on trying the Melomania 1 out. Maybe the RHA True connects?

I'd also be open to suggestions of "wired" bluetooth IEMs.

My daily commute and gym TWS are the Earin M2. Very small. Good sound imho and a very nice cylindrical charging case. They cost €249, although occasionally they do 20% off. However, my guess is they’ll come out with a v3 at some point. Not sure when though.

In terms of wireless with a cable between the buds, JayBirds were really good imho.

Thanks for the suggestion , but I forgot to mention my budget, which is 160 Euros :/

Take a look at the UFO style earphones. I find that case the most portable, along with Wavefun Xpods 3 that I'm currently in the process of reviewing.

For the UFO style look for either Anbes 359 or Kissral R18 as those seem to be best audio quality.

Alternatively take a look at Tiso i4 but I find those far too base heavy.

All of these are under €40 so you could presumably pick up a few and find the right one for you.
