I'm curious about these Amps Air+ but I haven't yet read anything about Sol Republic in the TWS space. If anyone tries them lmk! (9.2mm driver caught my eye)

Originally started off as an offshoot of Monster (Kevin Lee, son of Noel Lee, Monster Founder) and many of their products had a similar sound signature as Monster branded products (heavy V-shape). It's since been purchased by HoMedics and the sound has become more mainstream consumer focused, in that the V is a less drastic than the original Monster sound.

That beig said, I have not tried their new offering, namely, because the price is just too high when the established competition is at a similar price point. Anyone want to take a leap? :)

I had them, returned them. Sound was low, fit was bad for me, ANC was okay, but I couldn't get a good seal. Case was large. No volume control on the buds and no app for firmware updates.

Anybody ordered the Astrotech S90 Pro yet?
Check out these instructions for using them from linsoul's product page.
"
Press one second to answer the phone or hang up, play/pause
Press four times to call out Siri or Google assistant
L: Press 3 times for previous song
R: Press 3 times for next song
L: Press 2 times for volume down
R: Press 2 times for volume up
"
4 times for the assistent? apparently they're confident in the touch controls and that they won't be to sensitive or unresponsive.
imo they should have had press and hold for volume. i think mor than 3 taps on the earbuds is to much unless i can start texting with them lol.

VJJB has released their first TWS-earbuds. At the same time its like their most expensive product ever by costing around $60. Anyone brave enough to try them out? Im huge fan of some VJJB-products (like K4) and these got my interest, I think they look great!

Looks like a rebrand of the EPZ S350S or otherwise using the same shell. Also has a 6mm dynamic driver and describes using a Realtek RT8763C (which couldn't find any info - EPZ uses RT8763B in the standard version and QCC3026 in the Pro version) If they're the same then you're only really paying more for the looks and AptX on the EPZ.

Latest firmware update to the galaxy plus buds seems to have improved the sound. It used to sound thin in the mid range and underpowered before the update. After the update, the mids sound fuller now and doesn't sound underpowered.
Was this with the normal setting? I had it stuck to dynamic before and after the update and haven't really noticed a difference.

I'm more annoyed the update has an aggressive noise cancelling wind filter but consequently removes a lot of bass. It also constantly oscillates volumes left and right with certain sounds like music coming out of a speaker. Tried to bring up these issues in a Samsung forum and was only met with reps and users saying stuff like "please troubleshoot first if not it is a hardware issue and you should get a replacement".

it seems like their new algorithm is unstable, though it blocks windnoise better.

anyone try spinfit on galaxy buds plus? their default tips are fine but it is itchy

I use Spinfit cp360 with my buds plus and they fit in the case just fine.

I am using the dynamic eq setting.

Are you referring to with ambient mode on? I seldom use the ambient mode.
