I have only tried them mowing the lawn in our 600 degree weather and doubt they will stay in your ears for a workout. Dry ears no issue at all, but a bit of sweat and they can move around.

Thanks. Have currently got the xm4s but am not really getting on with them. Sound is great, but not really getting on with them in terms of placing in ears, getting a good fit and how they feel. Have tried the hybrids, they’re not wearing very well after 3 weeks and have tried spinfits and am finding them hit and miss too.

not sure what to try next, am tempted by the mw08 sport, but the views on here seem a bit negative and the anc seems quite poor.

No experiences with the MW08(s), but if you can get your hands on some, I use the Final TWS tips on the Sonys and it made a world of difference.

Thanks for the advice. Will keep an eye out, at first glance not easy to grab in UK

Buy with an e500 or e1000?

This is where I (as well as others here) bought ours from:

TWS are becoming a problem as traditional IEM's , current picture did not include my Grados as my son is using them UPDATED A FEW THINGS AFTER A LONG FLIGHT, the noise canceling of the B&O and Devialet surprise me vs the Sony. I tested by comparing not only passive and active noise canceling or reduction but also with music evaluating how could the instrument reproduction be impacted or not.

As of today,

1. B&O
2. Devialet

4. MW08 and Sony

Bit disappointed in CA.. I sent in the Melomania Touch for RMA, and they sent me the 1+.. Someone must have screwed up because the email from the RMA department and shipping label both say "Melomania Touch".. I didn't open the 1+ and put them back in the UPS box. Emailed them back to see what the heck happened.

It's not an easy mistake to make unless if you are not familiar with the product line. I guess mistakes happen, but I hope someone doesn't get in trouble for this. This still cannot happen though. It's inexcusable.

^ CA made a mistake but correcting it by sending out an MT. They were kind enough to let me keep the 1+ too since it was their mistake. I was surprised by them going above and beyond to correct their mistake. Very good customer support!

I got my MT yesterday and after spending so much time with the Gemini, I found them somewhat in contrast. To your point, and maybe because the Gemini are simply more mid/high present, I found the MT to have those same frequencies to be recessed. I wouldn’t call the MT bass forward, but to my ears at least, I want to say less clarity than the Gemini; but maybe it’s not clarity, as the SQ was definitely there. Sparkle, is that was it is? I perceived similar “veiling” of those frequencies as I did with the PI7. At least here I can EQ it, but I wasn’t expecting the eq settings I was ending up with.

I think the price is the big factor to consider. MT is $130, Gemini is $300. I would expect Gemini to be better for sure.

Considering the number of comparisons between MT & Gemini with the former coming close to the latter at less than half the cost.. I think that actually says a lot about the MT.

Yeah, totally fair point. I just happen to be comparing everything I’m getting these days as I choose one to keep.

My case of the EQ isn’t completely lined-up/flush in the front (upper to lower half). It gives me the impression it’s not closing as much as it should. Has anyone of you EQ owners the same issue?

Not for me. Maybe post a picture of what you are seeing? Might generate some additional thoughts on what you should do.

It’s the middle of the night, I’ll try to make a close up tomorrow (today ) with better light.
Let’s say you if you swipe with the finger on the backside of the case there is no edge noticeable. If I do it on the right side of the front there is one and a much stronger one on the left side of the front.

I'm just getting caught up here. Interesting to see the EQs getting so much love. Any weird quirks or issues? Is the battery living up to the 6.5 hours advertised? I might be willing to plunk down the cash for 6.5 hours of ANC.

Also curious if there any reviews out there that line up with real world HeadFi experiences? Most mainstream TWS reviews drive me crazy because they are tech consumer focused vs audio focused.

Last question. Is everyone ordering directly from B&O or another retailer?
