AirPod pro still a decent bet for iPhone and iPad use? Got the xm3 but switching between the two is a bit of a faff?
The Falcon 2 are just Falcon 1 with an upgraded BT chipset and case (according to specs and the info on Noble's site). I really do enjoy the Falcon 1, more so than I mention here. Great 1-DD model.Feeling the itch for something new, currently looking at the Lypertek Pureplay Z3 2.0, Noble Falcon 2 and Melomania Touch because they're all similarly priced but they all seem to have some downsides.
I've not really seen many opinions on the Lypertek's, sounds like they might be quite dark sounding? The Falcon 2 there's also not tons of info on so I'm not even sure what the sound signature is. The Melomania Touch sound like they'd be the best sounding but the connectivity issues are offputting. Any thoughts from anyone who's heard any of them?
I really hope I like the Melomania Touch. I should have mine tomorrow or the next day. Hopefully with some minor EQ within the app I'll love them.
The MT are not totally dark per se'. They have a much boosted bass, but it does not impede the mids at all. It is very addicting, in that it is very large, but also very tight and fast (almost planar(ish)). Mids are only a bit recessed, and I would call them almost airy up top, having plenty of sparkle. I hate overdone bass, but have found (since the last FW update) that I don't need (nor desire) any EQ with these. If you do, their app is so simple (and actually really effective) to use.It seems Melomania Touch priority is sound quality, and I've heard and read reviews saying the sound quality punches above it's price. From how people are describing them, I should like them. Otherwise my next try will be the WF-1000XM4, but I know I'll have to EQ them cause they are dark.
The Technics are close, but there's a little bit of a Hi-Fi tune for excitement that you can hear on certain tracks, so I wouldn't call it a true neutral.So what BT buds have what you would call a neutral reference kind of sound? And by that I don't mean lean or bass light just not bass boosted or V-shaped that so many seem to aim for. My Airpods Pros I feel have a relatively balanced sound signature with a slight focus on the mids and a balanced bass (assuming they fit your ears). Only talking frequency response here and I'm sure they can be bettered on technicalities like detail retrieval and dynamics etc. I know it also depends on what the reference is - for Harman Target for instance it will probably be some of those models (Samsung, AKG) owned by Harman group (?).
Are Lypertek considered neutral? MTW2? Technics? What about the KEF MU3?
Found a review here https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaom...ireless-in-ears-under-200-Euros.548150.0.htmlDamn they look hot.
The Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0 are actually not dark. I'd say they follow (roughly) the Harman target curve with a bit of added bass and a bit less upper midrange emphasis. Sure, that means they're quite darker than the first model, the Tevi, but it's still not in my definition of "dark" - they're quite enjoyable. From a technical standpoint, they have amazing detail for the price and very good instrument separation. I would say they almost compare to similarly-priced wired earphones in terms of pure sound quality, which really is surprising.Feeling the itch for something new, currently looking at the Lypertek Pureplay Z3 2.0, Noble Falcon 2 and Melomania Touch because they're all similarly priced but they all seem to have some downsides.

I really, really liked the Shanling MTW300. They're amazing for the price. They're not perfectly neutral, but they surely are not bass boosted or V-shaped. Considering the first-gen Lypertek Tevi is on its way out, I'd say the MTW300 are the best pick in the currently-available devices.So what BT buds have what you would call a neutral reference kind of sound?

For me it's the Cambridge Audio Melomania touch (out of all TWS I've tested), they even sound better than earbuds costing twice as much.I know everybody has different tastes, but what is the definitive best sounding true wireless earbud to you? I’m asking everybody in the thread because I’m damn curious.
Top 3 I've tried are master and dynamic mw08 / kef mu3 / oppo Enco X (with default eq changed as it sucks oob) - they are all pretty close to me but oppo won me over for form factor and Lhdc/anc.... I returned the mw08 and kept the kef but I never use them. There are some really good non ANC sounding TWS like the Cambridge audio MT - I just want it all. Curious about the new sonys and b&w buds but they look kind of large.I know everybody has different tastes, but what is the definitive best sounding true wireless earbud to you?

I found a set of Sennheiser MTW2 for $200 new and sealed, but I might have a chance at grabbing the WF-1000XM4 for around $220 if I wait a bit... none of them can be returned in any way after purchase though since Amazon is the only store that offers returns like that where i'm at.
I feel like the Sennys won't have quite enough bass to satisfy the part of me that likes heavy electronic music and really enjoys some heavy bass rumbles from time to time, and I feel like the Sony's won't satisfy the part of me that wants a huge sound with big soundstage and some really nice sparkle in the upper mids and highs for more ambient and atmospheric music... Can somebody create a Sonyheiser Momentum WF-1000TW2-Frankenstein hybrid for me?
