Right there with you... In the last few days I have ordered the CA MT, the Status Between Pro, and ADV M5 TWS... It is certain that revolutionary new products, that will sound like choirs of angels singing, will be introduced in the next few weeks...
Mine is supposed to ship this week. Still haven't heard anything.
I have to do this from time to time as well to keep my raging tinnitus in check. To any children out there, please do not attend 100 plus heavy metal concerts in the 80s and 90s (pre grunge) without hearing protection.
I had stopped reading the comments because it was mainly complaints about shipping dates (a crowdsourcing issue by my experience). But I know the Status people are honest, which is what counts most. I am guessing they will be very relieved when the crowdsourced orders are shipped and they can start shipping their retail units. Based on the amount of responses they have made on the site. Anyway, I have come across only one other Between Pro owner hereabouts, and he just mentioned he thought they sounded great. I have to agree, but others may not like them as much. They do have a unique design, ugly sort of, but fit me fine and are easy to use. I don't mess with the buttons much, just the pause and take a call, both a single click on the right side. I use my phone to make volume and other adjustments. Not a problem for me. I have 3 main units, the Melomania 1+, the Melomania Touch and the Between Pros, the MT is the one that bugs me because touch controls are too easy to trigger accidentally. All sound excellent to me. Done testing new models for now. See what happens later in the year.
I don't see why Apple would not. This is not really anything "optional" as it is a new Bluetooth industry standard. The only risk I see is if it timing wise can't make it into the iPhone 13, thus we'd have to wait for the iPhone 14.
Naaah. I just don't exorcise.
BUT.... if I did, it would probably be with my Nuarl N6Pro. The Bose Soundsport pro fit me the best and I like them for outside, but the N6P just have much better sound, while still fitting me very well. The TWS600 fit well, but I am not so sure they would stay in place well while working out. The MT definitely wouldn't stay in place for me, though they have the best sound.
I generally don’t wear headphones when working out (boring I know). If I were to do it, however, I’d choose something that is ANC and does a good job canceling out microphonics. So something like the APP, Sony, 85t, Bose… They all have the ability to cancel out microphonics (internal sound). Transparency modes can be useful if you need to be aware of your surroundings.
Hard to beat the m30 in this context.
For me, it's either the ADV or FITS, depending on the mood. FITS for calm and cool. ADVs get me up and moving.
"LC3plus is LC3's sibling, equipped with numerous additional functionalities. While comprising all features of LC3, including high speech and audio quality, LC3plus incorporates functionalities for transmission robustness, extremely low-delay use cases and high-resolution audio transmission. To improve robustness, LC3plus contains a very high-performance packet loss concealment algorithm as well as forward error correction schemes such as channel coding or redundancy frame modes. Furthermore, the codec can operate at several low-delay modes – down to 5ms at a 2.5ms packet size, instead of the 7.5 ms frame length mode known from LC3. LC3plus also includes dedicated high-resolution audio modes, which improve the measurable audio quality beyond perceptual transparency (up to 500 kbit/s per channel).
Thank you for this clarifying post!
