These ikko foam tips look great and they remind me of the foams that came with the Jabra Elite Sport. Unlike classic Comply (or clones) tips they didn't "muffle" the sound to my ears. Let's see if I can track them down !

Amazon US has them, I linked them previously. Penon and their AE store does, but I'm pretty sure there will be a Chinese new years delay.

Really need to be better at ‘be happy with what you have’ :wink:
Thinking of that, I made sure that my X12 are charging nicely, it’s their turn as run buds tomorrow. Unfortunately they have become slightly unstable when it comes to keeping a charge when left alone in box, so I have to ‘watch’ them charge the night before :)

well, and i ended up ordering those Dyplay ANC buds that @chinmie raved about. At least something with new feature (anc) Instead of just cute looks

I hope you'd be happy with them. It's now currently my number 1 favorite/ most used TWS

Hi everyone,
I just got the Sabbat E12, I love the looks but hate the sound, the bass is very deep and punchy but there' no treble and they sound muffled (tried every tip included)
I'm now looking at the Tronsmart spunky beats and the Tranya B530, which do you think it'll be the best option?
i'm open to (budget) suggestions!

thanks for your help!!

The E12 is a lost opportunity. It has one of the best form factor, control, and case size, but disappoints in the sound quality. If only the just at least copy the X12 sound with a passive noise blocking, it would be golden for me

Thanks, they've added them on Amazon FR too so I'll probably give them a go. Which TWEs do you use them with ?

I only tried them on the Tronsmart Spunky Beats. They ended up being a little too large for my small ear canals, so I ended up returning them. I'd need a 10.5mm size if they ever make an XS version.

I did email ikko about that. Hopefully they do. I really like the design.

My buddy in Canada is looking for his first TWS and wants to spend $50-70. He prefers good highs and mids but not heavy bass. Can any of you drop some recommendations that would suit his needs that are available from Amazon.ca?

I was thinking the Tranya B530 or the Mpow M5.

Thanks

Lypertek Tevi, Mifo o7, QCY T5 might fit the bill

Too bad the mifo 07 is $149. I got it for $77 when they have a deal, but I can't really say they are $70 twe.

That's easy. Tronsmart Spunky beat every single time over b530.

I have to jump in and disagree here. They sound great and they are a good comfortable size, but they have a mind of their own with these horrible touch controls. They're ridiculously sensitive and continually do things on their own. You can't touch the earbuds at all without them registering some type of command. It's so bad I've just given up on them. That being said, I would LOVE for them to release a hard button version. Would be an instant buy for me.

i still consider buttons to be superior than touch controls. the only touch control implementation that i like is the Galaxy Buds, because they have sensors that would disable the touch controls whenever we took it out off the ears.

Anyone have a recommendation for TWS with small housing? Large housing hurts the outer part of my ear (ridge above ear lobe). For reference, Jabra 65t are quite painful after an hour and Anker Soundcore Liberty Neo is a bit better but uncomfortable after a while also.

Here's some that may work. The TREBLAB XFit have some serious bass, if you're into that. I like them for the gym, louder environments. Seem to be OK for calls, too. Pretty good feedback on the Mavin Air-X as well.

Tronsmart Spunky Beats (AptX, $20ish, sounds great, connection strength is pretty average, touch control is very sensitive), Mifo 07 ($100+, very small case, great sound but not for basshead, above average connection strength), Samsung galaxy buds ($100+, EQ in the app, good sound, connection strength is average, has ambiance mode).
