Heads up folks Sennieser Uk are running a 50% off promotion on selected products for 24 hours. Link below-

https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/euro-2021-promo

I have ordered the Momentun 2 for £139 😊

You can select the ones that include TIDAL HIFI for the same price:

Even though it says 6 months free, when you use the code that you receive on the order confirmation, you actually get 360 days so the expiry is 28/06/2022 :)

Wow, good price for those. Even though I’m not sure I’d enjoy the sound signature I’d buy them for that price, but alas, I’m not in the UK.

Ah, OK when you go to payment you can only choose UK/Ireland. But I can go through PayPal instead but probably not a good idea though.
Yeah I wouldn’t dare risk that and having to suffer through having to wait to get money refunded and whatnot. Apparently they ship from Germany so it shouldn’t be a problem getting them shipped to another country but I think the discount is meant for UK only so idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yep ...and the good thing about last night was that England scored 4 goals😊
Indeed, the way the discount is calculated is very interesting. They may not have banked on so many goals being scored!

The football tournament is here! It makes you shiver, it makes you scream. But most of all: It makes you save money!

Save a minimum of 20% discount on select premium headphones on the day the English, Scottish or Welsh team plays. Score even more discounts if the team scores goals!

How it works:
Let it hear for the English, Scottish or Welsh team because for every goal they score we will add an additional 10%, up to 50% maximum discount! For example: England, Scotland or Wales shoots 2 goals – prices are 40% off. England, Scotland or Wales loses 0:2 – never mind, you still get 20%. Discounts will only be valid during the 24 hours after the English, Scottish or Welsh team’s playing time.

I don't follow football at all (being more of a cricket aficionado) but in this instance: 'C'mon England!!!' and, 'It's coming home!!!'.

I sure wish they would show up for sale on Amazon again. I'm very tempted as I think they will really meet all of my needs.

I have the Devialet Gemini currently and am waiting on a replacement due to a hardware problem. The Gemini sound amazing and the anc is pretty damn good. However, my use case for tws is mostly gym use and I think the MT would really meet that need at a much lower price.
It would be interesting to hear what the Devialet Gemini sounds like considering they are speaker specialists! Have recently reviewed another French brand's wireless release - the Earsonics Aero - can be seen here.

I'm having a problem on az70w. One of the buds is playing at a lower volume, about 6db. A factory reset didn't solve the problem. Does everyone else ever experienced this?
I personally haven't, but that usually is what I'll go off to tell me if I have a good seal. If you're confident that's fine, next thing I would move onto is checking the nozzle screen for debris.

The only time I have BT-related channel imbalances on any pair is usually when I go from one-bud active listening immediately into two without transitioning through a pause. Can't remember which specific pairs have done that to me, but the AZ70W wasn't one of them. Think the ADVs, MT, and NFP did, though.
For some of those lucky ones based in Ireland and using the Sennheiser Ireland site, the CX400BT white ones can be purchased for 49.50 euros using the GOAL21 voucher with 50% off due to last night's England match:

They were a deal at $100. They're an impulse buy at that price. Nice!

Ok, I've narrowed my under $150 pair: for a blind overseas purchase from the UK so no return option if fit/sound is an issue: Noble Falcon 2 or Lypertek PurePlay Z3 2.0

Which pair would you go with based off of sound and comfort taking highest priority?

What I care about most are: non-harsh treble (can't stomach any brash treble or even mid-range belting), and size (I have small ears)

Was considering the JBLs as @miserybeforethemusic highly recommended 'em but for random unknown reasons, I'm way more excited about the two above options :D

Thanks !! !! !!

The seal is good and not a transitional problem. I was thinking too could be wax related, and I had tried kindly blowing on the nozzle screen but didn't work. Right after your post I tried with a solder sucker :sweat_smile:. The first time sorted out the problem, after a moment was there again. After some other suctions now it's 2.5db of imbalance.
Guys don't do this at home :grimacing:
Anyway I am a bit sad, will try with a return.

No worries if there are options more appealing to you than the JBL. I think you've got two great choices there. I'll give a nod to the Falcon, but haven't played with the Lypertek and couldn't tell you how it fared, relatively speaking.

But if it were a no-fuss experience that didn't break the bank, I think you could seriously consider the CX400BT at gangbusters pricing and have something that would probably impress you more sonically than the Noble or Lypertek might.

Put the Lypertek Pureplay Z7's on your list too. They are very very good. Highly recommend.
