Any stalk type (like Anker Liberty Air 2) with decent sq and 10 band EQ?
I returned my Melos 1 for pretty much same reasons: found the sound not very engaging, the fit was so so .. nothing really to fall in love with ...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?
indeed. after some experimentations I'm using this eq (through the embedded Samsung eq): -2@63 -4@125 -2@250 +1@8k +2@16k , with this eq I really love the sound of these earbuds, still not perfectly linear but very funny.Apollo Bold is definitely bass focused.
This is independent of iCloud. Let's say you have 2 Android devices: A and B. The APP is connected to A but has been paired with B previously. On B all I need to do is go to Bluetooth Settings (or shortcut, more normally) and connect to the APP. I don't need to go to the Bluetooth menu on A to disconnect.That only works for Apple devices connected to yur ICloud acc, right?

one thing I've noted: after some 10h the bass levels down a little bit (or the mid/highs levels up a little bit, not sure) so give them some time to settle
I've got the Apollo Bold, Spunky Beat App edition, Onyx Ace, if anybody has any questions. I will post reviews later.
Apollo Bold is definitely bass focused. It is palpable with ANC off but gets a little overbearing with ANC on. The ANC works pretty well for lower frequencies, it would help a lot with an airplane engine etc.
Both the Bold and the Beat case fit third party tips. Using my favourite tips (Final E), I can get a good seal in both of them. While the Bold comes with high quality tips, the oval bore makes it a challenging fit especially if you have large canals like I do. With the Spunky Beats, the included tips are a not as robust as the Bold. Putting the Final tips for a good seal unfortunately brings quite a bit of driver flex with it.
Onyx Ace is a bit strange, it sounds quite veiled, even muffled, at lower volumes. Will look more into it.

The ambient pass-thu does not do much on the fiil t1xsSorry 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!
I noticed the same. Actually, the FR is now pretty flat after two days use to the point I find I don't even have to EQ them.

Cool and thin are the complete opposite of the T1x in my experience. Absolutely not the case. I do not eq them through the app either - I found they sound best on default to me. The only way I could think they sound anything but warm and full is if you had the wrong size eartips, but that goes for any of these.
