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

Are those lights from the buds shining through, or additional ones in the case? Please tell me they flash..... :high_brightness::eight_spoked_asterisk:

They DID flash like crazy, exactly like police car lights. BUT, I just tried to replicate this for a video, and it appears it only does the super nervous flashing before it pairs with a source the first time. Since it does know my phone now, it did not flash anymore. The top red/blue are the buds in the case themselves, the lower blue is the battery indicator.

And the buds flash blue when in ear like every 3 seconds. Heck annoying, total reason not wanting to be seen in the wild with them.

For those of you in the UK, there is a sale on the Soundcore Liberty 2's at £69 on amazon.co.uk (with £20 voucher off)
I bought these and received them but unfortunately they also have the dreaded 'hiss'. I contacted Anker so let's see.
Have any of you received the L2P Pros or these without hiss, as a replacement from Anker?
Still these have amazing sound at higher volumes but lower volumes and audiobooks it's very noticable to my ears
I did read a bit about this on both ear buds, but today I went for it..ordered the pro 2 at £99 Amazon deal...the normal 2 are £65 ….so let's see what I can hear.

Oh man, I just totally loved the Fiil T1X... and now the Edifier TWS6 comes in. A bit above 100 dollars unfortunately, and quite minimal in features, but these sound SO good.

My SSKs have absolutely no thud. I thought they were 1-1 clone of anbes. Apparently SSK have done some r&d. Nice.

Both of my SSK are identical and have much more thud than my Anbes 359.

Great review, Scarbir! A couple questions for you. Did you burn in the T1x and are you using it on Bass EQ setting or Default? The T1x is one of the brighter yet full bodied TWS' I've heard. If the TWS6 makes it sound warm, how would you describe the Mpow T5/M5 or SSK/Anbes 359. I looked at your reviews to see how you described them, but the description was a bit different. The NUARL N6 is kind of a Anomaly, it's warmer than the T1x yet very detailed with excellent detail and clarity, but it's not quite as full as the T1x probably due to the missing sub-bass. Listening to the M5's today, i'd say they sound significantly warmer than the t1x and something like the 1more stylish would be very warm even darker sounding. however the Hieha B6 (the clone of the Whizzer B6) was just straight up Dark and pretty much muddy and unenjoyable to listen to.

According to Misodiko you need a good solid retention lip. What they call keyway style nozzle.

So look at your TWS without a tip to determine if it'll work.


Just found them sold in pairs for cheap:

that graphic was great!

I used my calipers to measure the 1Tx, it is exactly as shown. 5mm at the outer most part of the lip and 4mm on the inner part of the lip. So by measurement, they should work perfectly for the 1Tx.

when I get the mifo o7 later today I’ll measure those too. :)

I don't understand why a lot of TWS manufacturers do this. I am yet to find anyone who likes this 'feature'.
I wonder if flashing lights and golden ‘bling’ are ingrained in Chinese culture as more beautiful / more valuable.
( a bit like the flashing disco lights behind Buddha statues in Sri Lanka. Not fully understanding that either :) )

Wish I could enjoy the sonic experience of T1X like most here. I don't really know about driver flex.
I'm more confounded by the sound quality. The highs and lows are good. Cymbals and bells sound great
But in my opinion, tonality for instruments in the middle frequencies are recessed too much.

I'm sure some folks here play in a band:.... For example -
1) Voices are unaturally shrill and thin.
2) Les Paul humbucker distortions are supposed to sound ballsy - but sounds really thin and sharp in the T1X.
3) I also felt the snare drums flare and thin out.

At louder volumes, #1,2,3 become more pronounced.
I'm not using the T1X for guitar or rock music as I need the ballsy mids :).
You might want to try some of the different presets available in the FllL+ app. Not counting the default, there are 14 more to choose from.

I couldn't resist, so I ordered them. :)
