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

Yeah, that's still unnecessary in my opinion, I want to be able to have the music still playing. All models with hearthrough I have used allow you to still play music while initiating it.


Interesting. I'm hearing a scratchy artifact only present when using the SBC codec. I was told by multiple users of the same issue though a few said it sounded fine. For whatever reason Samsung set a low bitpool than typical for SBC. Considering you're using a first-party Microsoft product I wonder if it is related to Bluetooth drivers and whether they can force a high bitrate. Unfortunately it sounds poor on my ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 (BT5.0, Intel drivers) and my Note 9 when using SBC.


Sadly Fiil T1X has never been listed on Amazon.ca period, except some ripoff third-party sellers. I guess I could try Amazon.com and pay the 20$ import fee... There's also Geekbuying but it's pretty slow in my experience. I ordered my Tronsmart Onyx Neo through Aliexpress and they used Geekbuying's shipping method. It took 5 days to process the order on Aliexpress (I've had other sellers ship within 2-3 days, but this one only shipped within 12 hours of the deadline), and shipping another 2 weeks via UBI (the total process should only be 10 days as with ePacket, as my other UBI order arrived in that time). When I received it, the location marked was that of Geekbuying in Ontario, even though my tracking clearly showed a direct route from China to Vancouver. Not to mention the product turned out to be defective as with nearly every other TWS I have used so far.

In the current situation I'm wondering what Aliexpress sellers still use UBI or ePacket. I see more "Standard Shipping" listings nowadays.

I just got an email about the 1MORE ColorBuds - unfortunately the 20% discount code isn't working on Amazon.ca despite my email saying it should!


If you don't mind a used pair.. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649636284-fiil-t1x-tws/

This might be a bit of an odd observation / question, but my MW07 (classic, the ones I got with coupon for 99.50€ directly from M&D) have quite the funky scent!
Not sure if it is the case or the buds or both. It reminds me of burnt plastic / burnt electrical wiring. But everything is working fine. Anyone else had that?
Is it that ‘New’ toy smell? :wink:

I wonder when and where I can order the N10? All the pages I find are in Japanese or something :)

Well, convince them to become American. Then they will release first here. :)

Money shots...

I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of FiiL t1x after reading Scarbir's piece and a few good things on this thread when @d3myz mentioned they're quite cool sounding and a little thin in comparison to a few other budget tws.

I returned a pair of Cambridge Melomania 1s due to them sounding too light and lacking any kind of punch for my ears. They were also far too quiet via my iphone 6 which I found very frustrating and probably didn't help with the impactfulness.

How does the the sound sig of the t1x compare with the Melo 1's? Are they as quiet/light?

Sorry if this has already been hashed over , but I just went though about 100 pages of the thread and couldn't find a specific review. Has anyone yet done a direct comparison of the Fill T1X and T1XS? I've had the T1x now for ages and they pretty much fulfilled everything I wanted other than ambient passthrough - they are highly isolating the way they are even without any ANC. When I happened to notice last week the T1XS I thought I'd check Scarabir, but it doesn't look like Bart has reviewed them yet?

Anyway, I just want to know if they are worth the upgrade.

Thanks!
The XS hasn't gained much coverage yet. I believe Scarbir got them, cause he said so on his Twitter like 1 month ago, but he hasn;t reviewed them yet. I would say no.From what little I've seen, the biggest thing I have seen is the case shrunk, but you can get T1Xs for somewhere between $35 (if you get a good deal) - max $50 (unless you have to pay VAT or smth). The XS is at $80. Not really worth it IMO. If it dropped to $50 or so, maybe, but only if you really like your T1X. And there aren't really any reviews yet.

Do you mean fresh? or burnt burnt? Considering they are acetate, it feels wrong that they smell burnt to you LOL.

Just dropped to $257, shipped and sold by Amazon.
Now down to $237 on Amazon.us, sold by Sennheiser. :) Only the black version tho. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-True-Wireless-Cancellation/dp/B085LVV8R7

Original Momentum True Wireless is down to $190 and $175, sold by Senn on Amazon.us. Exact same thing, so I have no reason why there are two different listings:
https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-T...6NK94VNTG8B&psc=1&refRID=64AGW7HB66NK94VNTG8B

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-M...6NK94VNTG8B&psc=1&refRID=64AGW7HB66NK94VNTG8B

Sorry for the long form. I have no idea why, but when I try to change the text shown, the link then redirects to World Wide Stereo. So weird...
