You still get wind noise if you turn off ANC ? I suppose the fact that they stick out doesn't help...although the MTW2 don't stick out and with ANC off there is still more wind noise than with non Ambient/ANC TWS like say the Bomaker SiFi II. I suppose the mics they use for ANC might not be completely off, or there holes might be letting in some wind ? Since you asked about the SiFi II I prefer them to the FiLL T1X mainly because of their stellar fit and ability to not loose the seal whatever I do, even sweat profusely on the home trainer.
@ HeadphoneAddict - thanks for the additional thoughts on the MW07 Plus, I think I'm going to give them a try, even if ambient and ANC are "so, so", still better than the L2Ps that don't have either, they take Paypal and have a 14 day return policy too so why not !

I had the same issues until I started messing around with the wings. If they press to hard they will break your seal. I took awhile tell I found the perfect fit. Now I just grab them out and plug them in my ears. Believe me, they have a lot of bass.I bought a pair of Powerbeats Pros and I'm still having trouble getting any kind of decent seal. So far, my best option has been the largest tips and they kind of sit on the outside of my ear canal and seal OK until I run - and then the seal breaks and they sound like a $5 tinny set. I would appreciate any suggestions. Also, what is the largest 3rd party tip anyone has ever seen that would be available to purchase on Amazon?
Have you tried the Sony WF-SP800N? Those have some nice, textured bass.Also, I picked up my Jabra 75ts today. I like them a lot more than my 65ts. These have Skull shaking bass! Had to turn that down a bit. I like how easy the button is to push, just like my power beats pro. So far so good!

I hope it doesn't sound anything like the Rimor.Looks like principally the 12mm driver, Qi charging, and IPX7, at least over the Rimor.

The case looks quite nice and is a matte finish, which I prefer, so at least the case will likely be less likely to scratch and be a fingerprint magnet over time. The earbuds, a little mixed on those. I think the whole package looks great, but not sure about the big 0.95 on the side of the earbuds.
Nooooooo! I was going to buy something else, I just couldn't figure out what yet!
As far as returns, so far so good. In addition to the MW07 Plus, I purchased the MW65 , but there were some issues with imbalanced ANC (stronger on right side vs. left), stronger driver flex on left side, and mismatched drivers (left was clearer, right had stronger bass). I sent a request for return and received a response the next day with a pre-paid label.
These mothers look interesting. I need a pair for the pool in Hawaii. Anyone try them yet?

I had the Firefly Pro which is pretty much the same design as the first one but with the Qi charging case like this one. The fit didn't bother me much, but I did notice they were a bit more comfortable when flipped (the housings are mostly symmetrical but nozzle tilted slightly one way). They were my daily driver until I misplaced the buds (still have the case). Ambient sound was helpful but only because the passive isolation was not good to begin with. The mid-bass was very punchy though I didn't find it muffled - overall a fun and lively sound without really drowning the highs and decent soundstage, but it did not respond well to EQ. I was told by Jabees the sound quality isn't much different between the Firefly and Firefly Pro, but that the Firefly.2 has a different tuning. They all have a USB Type-C port, but it is a "fake" port as it doesn't charge with C2C cables.I tried the first Firefly and absolutely hated them. The fit was awful, the button was stiff and didn't work more than half the time, and the mids were totally blown out. Upside down V signature. This was before I had an effective EQ solution so I don't know if they're tamable, but I also was fairly disappointed and sent them back almost immediately. These look a little more interesting and like they would at least fit better, but $100 for pool buds without aptX seems a bit steep.
