I've been using the Tronsmart onyx free for this couple of days, now i can say I'm really satisfied purchasing it. the sound really clicks for my preference: really balanced, with nice snap on the kick without boomy tails on the bass, clear mids without being in my face, and nice clear treble without overly sparkly.

I'm using a short generic foam tips for TWS on it, and i like that it doesn't amplify the sound of the jaw and mouth while eating, and the thump from walking and running, while still there, also not covering up the music sound.

if only the future update of the Apollo Bold App can get me to tune down the bass to this (Onyx Free) level, it would be a complete and killer TWS for sure
Hi,
Thank you very much for your sharing. Apollo Bold APP supports to adjust the EQ. You can change what style you like. Hope you will like it. And we will also keep improving it.

How on earth can they do that. Does that mean it already has ANC hardware and now they are enabling it? They are saying it has Qualcomm chipset but Elite 75t does not support Aptx.

Anyway I am thrilled with the news as I have Elite 75t.
The 75t/75t Active does use a Qualcomm chip but Jabra likely chose to use it for other reasons than AptX or single-bud use. One wonders if having multi-point also affects having the latter two (though I find this unlikely). Jabra seemed to be focused on balanced controls and "usability" but it was a poor decision to promise single-bud use only to abandon it when it seemed like something simple to implement.

Sennheiser's TWS supports AptX but can't do single-bud usage even though it seems the hardware is capable of that. I'm not sure what's the rationale behind that.

Likewise I have a feeling many TWS are capable of ANC if they already use a noise canceling feature for either calls or ambient sound. The Galaxy Buds+ has this wind reduction filter in the ambient hearthrough added around April. Unless you have a constant sound in the background, the ambient feed is eerily quiet like some noise reduction is going on. Rumours suggested the Galaxy Buds+ was to have ANC, so it is possible they abandoned the idea to make people go for the Buds Live later.

Now comes the idea of how and whether the end-user can tinker with firmware to enable locked features. I recall seeing a video of a GAIA app being used to fix a reverse stereo problem with GRDE TWS (which used QCC3020) but the video was so poorly explained but it seems to be a backend used by OEMs...

Damn! Very nice bro. Any chance on a brief review? :)

Over the past two weeks I’ve tested the top models from Sony, Sennheiser and Master & Dynamic. None of them really “wowed” me but perhaps I’m not looking for the most accurate earbuds and something a bit “richer”. I liked the Master & Dynamic the best bud my ears did not agree with them comfort wise regardless of tips used. Ordered the new THX certified 1More but was shipped an old model so sent them back.

Had my eyes on the Klipsch T5 II and was just waiting for them to be released. I don’t need ANC, just transparency mode so the model you got is perfect. Basically now debating between these, something from Shure or waiting for the T10. I’m not the kind of guy to really have more than one set so I don’t mind spending a fair amount to get something that will impress me.

Anyway, thanks for sharing the pics and enjoy!:beerchug:

Hi guys fiil just updated global apk on the site with new headsets and possibility to change prompt language to english

http://www.fiil.cn/en/download.php

Hopefully this "change prompt language" thing works for the T1XS... which I just ordered because of this.

I've been curious about the "Fiil sound" for a while now. Being able to get it at a relatively good price (around USD 40 with cashbacks and coupons etc) plus news that the prompt language can now be changed, I... well... caved 🤣

It'll be fun to see how it measures up to my meager stable of TWS Buds (the L2P and the Outlier Air).

Next thing to save up for? Either the N10s or the BT20 Pros (for my TRN V90s).

Now I'm wondering if I can hack a wireless charging coil into the T1XS charging case somehow.

Hi,
I think you misunderstood. We said for the UI style ,different people have different opinions. Apollo Bold APP supports EQ adjustment, you can change what style you like.
So there will be other options than the ones on the alpha/beta version? (Pop, Rock, Classical, etc all have either elevated bass or muffled highs and largely sound underwater) That's great, I thought I explicitly said the options are all more bassy/veiled and you said others liked them. Anyhow, look forward to the release with better eq.

I just downloaded the 2.0 release and it still has the same eq options that boost bass and/or reduce highs.

Sad to say I don't have much time for an in depth review. They do blow away the first gen. Fit so much better and so many tip options in the box. The wingtips do slip like others have mentioned. It's annoying, but I really don't need the wingtips. No dropouts like the first gen that I've noticed yet. The case I big but solid. Wireless charging is great. Charging pad works for all my wireless charging devices. Sound signature is flat with clean bass. Wide sound stage. I adjusted the EQ a bit within the app. App works better on V2 than V1. Transparency mode works well. I used them on a multiple work Zoom calls this morning and zero issues with people hearing me. Hmmm.... what else. The USB C cable is braided. Nice touch. These are everything V1 should have been and more IMO. The latest Tool album is euphoric through these buds. In heaven or hell depending on how you look at it. I've had the Sonys, Sennheiser and M&D and I'm always picking up my Klipsch. That didn't come out right.

Hello all, I'm looking to get wireless IEMs specifically for working out with a budget of $50. I have no experience with any wireless IEM, and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

I'm primarily looking for something that's built tough (they're bound to be dropped, and I sweat a lot). As for sound signature, I'd prefer a more fun U shaped sound signature. As a reference, Sony MDR-XB90ex were my favorite for the gym.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

I wonder how much this varies phone to phone, or with settings like "absolute volume". On my Pixel 4a, and was the same with the 3a, I listen to every true wireless buds in the 28 to 40% range for music recorded at a normal volume, and go up to maybe 50% on stuff that is mastered a but quieter than normal. I have the Tevi's, Galaxy Buds Live, and the WF1000xm3 and they all are plenty loud by 40% volume. I keep "Bluetooth absolute volume" enabled, meaning there is no separate volume control for the phone and the buds.
Am starting to think my ears are pretty f.... Up and am barely 30 lol...i usually try whatever tws I get on my lg v40 and shanling m0....out of the 10 something tws I ve tried only the sabbats tevis and the bose have been gud/ loud enuf for the gym... And I do have the absolute volume enabled ....

I appreciate the insight. I think I’m going to give these an order today. I’ll let you know my thoughts as well. I had Klipsch computer speakers many years ago and they were excellent.

Aren't the xb90ex basshead? If so I'd say the Jabra 75t might work but they are out of your price range.
