Google just teased their TWS: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_buds

Due for a Spring 2020 release and I believe the expected pricing is close to $180 in the US.

Realtime translations? That’s really cool if it works. That’s the sort of things that used to be relegated to Star Trek!

Yep, sure do.

Keeping or returning?

I'm down in the valley, bro! It's not that cold yet.

I am being a bittttt dramatic - but highs in the mid 40's? c'moooon I'm in LA and about to move to Puerto Rico - I'm not trained for the cold right now lol.

I love it when people tell us CA boys that it's "not that cold"...man it's cold as Santa's house, bruh!

What part of CA are you in @hifi80sman ?

SSK Anbes clone update. Way better sounding than any other $50ish ones I have tried, but am noticing on plane that the isolation isn't as good as the cheap Qcc3020 Qualcomm based ones. Get way louder than any others I have tried though... So not huge deal if you can deal with more volume. Pretty impressed with sound quality even with pressure changes from flight ad such though.

For those who do use the Fostex TM2, it seems Fostex has finally released the app for it for iOS :-

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fostex-tm-sound-support/id1480797748

Current version of the app does 3 things :

1) display battery life
2) allows ambient sounds in (called Landscape mode, and slider on how much to allow in)
3) firmware updates the TM2 (to v2.90 as of current date of this post)

Apparently the next version of the app will have an equalizer.

Android app due late Oct ‘19.

Indeed they have. I actually downloaded it even before it was “officially” released, when it was quietly put on the App Store (though the App Store listing still says that it is a “beta”).



Landscape Mode is somewhat useful, though because the mics are situated on the earhook portion, such that they are pointing backwards when you are wearing it, it makes hearing people in front of you sound muffled. Still much better than the “Ambient Mode” of the Radsone ES100, which was my previous Bluetooth solution, though that’s not saying much at all.

Update on the high-pitched tone: It’s still there, and my theory is that it is due to lousy isolation between the digital and analog stages of the TM2 (see also: most onboard sound cards on laptops). You cannot hear it using the included (dynamic driver) IEMs, so I guess it serves me right for using high-sensitivity BA IEMs on this.

I’ve now isolated it to about 7810Hz. I can even get some weird binaural beat thing going on if I play a tone at that frequency and low volume using a tone generator app.

Not sure if this was posted, but Gamesky just came out with the review of the KZ E10. Seems like sound quality is great but quality control and connectivity issues abound. Guess the BT20S + KZ ZS10 are a better buy at this point...

Keeping or returning?

Man, not sure. I was OK with it with the hope there would be a firmware update, however, after reading everything again, it looks like they're talking about a completely "new version". I sent them an email to confirm if there is a firmware update to address the issue, but most likely I'll return, lest be stuck with the "old version".

I have kz bluetooth cable (aptx and the aptx hd) and they are prone to bluetooth bluetooth loss tho the later is better, but if you cover the bluetooth module with your hand, the connection will be loss. None of this happened with my bt20s.

Central valley. High 70s to low 80s.

I have the KZ ES10, connection is solid with my Fiio X5 but drops on occasionally with my Shanling M1
