Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

Just picked up the 1000xm3's and updated to the new firmware before I could compare the two versions. I'm curious if there were improvements to anything? Calls are decent, not bad, but still far from APP quality. I don't think anything is even close to the APP in regards to call quality.
The only thing i've noticed is the ability to change from ambient to noise canceling while on a call in the app, but maybe you could do that before. Everything else seems the same. They work pretty well, except when I use Siri to adjust the volume, The volume defaults to around 50%. Super annoying.

I have them. How do you know they are at a certain percentage? There is no app with them, right? Not sure how to tell where they are battery-wise. Of course, I hardly ever go past 2-3 hours max, and once on a flight. I love the sound, more than most here it seems. And with the medium foam tips, they are a fantastic fit. I got lucky I think, because they don't bother me, the fit that is. And their sound is to me, great. Anyway, their guy in tech support, Nicolas, has been very responsive to me.

I'm going off of what my phone tells me the connected device battery percentage is. It's been accurate with other Bluetooth devices I have like my P7 wireless headphones.

I like the sound a lot for the money. The fit for me is good enough (using the foam tips included).

How do you get ahold of Nicolas? I put in a ticket through their website.

Niclolas is the name of the only CA support person in the USA who has responded to some of my emails. I think it's not CA, but a licensed seller for CA in the US.

I had an issue with connectivity with my first set, I had to return and rebuy. Since then, no issues. Also, I love the foam tips, so I had a friend in the UK buy a 10 pack (5 pair) of the mediums. It was like $17shipped. For some reason, CA does not sell foam tips in the USA. They also sent me a few pair gratis, both the ones that came with the M1s and a larger pair they have since released, again in the UK only. Anyway, maybe you will hear from Nicolas. It takes a few days.

After some tinkering of the eq on my Samsung s10e phone, I quite like the sound of the Aviot BD21f. The metallic highs are reduced significantly now and the mid bass is reduced which makes the mids and highs more natural.

Hopefully I'll get a response. I have connectivity issues from time to time, but it's largely been fine.

Got those ikko foam tips in. They do fit shallower like most TWS tips. As long as the diameter also fits there should be few issues.

On Tronsmart Spunky Beat. Left is original tip, right is small T400.

Me too, but very infrequent. I really like the sound, sturdiness of the design. And I favor the click button vs the touch pad functionality. Not the only pair I own (have the L2P and an old pair of Tranya T1s too), but between the two, all good. Waiting for 2020 to see what new stuff comes along that may be worth it. May even buy a pair of Apple Airpod Pros, via Amazon Warehouse deals. But probably not.

just got an invite to review Tranya's upcoming B530 Pro. Apparently will have BT5, 80 hours playtime including charges in case, guessing that either means they expect 8 or 10 hours from the iems. also says APTX compatible with CVC8.0. Wonder if they're using Qualcom's QC3020 that would make sense from a battery life perspective and CVC8.0.
They will charge via USB-C and retail for $69.99

Anker will not refund my money because I sent my LP2 to their corporate office and not where they handle returns and warranty items. I guess I’m out $93...

Do you have a shipping receipt or any kind of tracking? Also, try contacting corporate to see they received it and can either forward it on or ship it back to you.
