Amazon sent me the new CX TWS plus 1-2 weeks before the official release
Will try them once the first update is installed
First initial impressions:
The CX plus are a pair of excellent TWS, they just work flawlessly, compared to the CA MT:
Pros:
Single earbud use (even on my pixel 4a, which doesn't have TWS+)
Flawless connection
Flawless touch controls
Fully customizable touch controls
Easier to handle since the shape is a bit more "boxy", but they are still as comfortable
APTX adaptive
ANC (doesn't seem to effect the sound)
Connection manager in the app
Option to pause music when enabling ambient mode
The case, I much prefer the shape of the CX Plus case compared to the oval CA MT case
Cons:
CA MT sounds fuller, as we all know the CA MT are quite hard to beat in sound quality
Metal grilles
It will be really difficult to decide which one to keep...
My wish: CA+Sennheiser collaboration, Cambridge Audio takes care of the drivers/amplification, Sennheisers takes care of the rest
I've yet to test the call quality
I personally find the CA MT to have full body especially in the mids but at times it’s too much for certain tracks and even after I eq’ed them quite a bit and brought the lows down there are certain tracks that it shouldn’t be there. I have been AB’ing them against the new Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro+ and the L2P+ have more natural and balanced sound (flat eq). The Soundcore also offer better airiness in the tracks so rock music and acoustics are less congested while the CA MT sound more exciting and dynamic but it’s kind of a one trick pony as even after playing around with the eq it’s always the same limitation while the L2P+ are more versatile to different genres, and this might due to the fact that they that have the Knowles drivers to handle the highs.
It will be interesting to see the CX Plus Vs. The L2P+.
EDIT: just to add, I'm not suggesting that one is better than the other.
They are both very good with pros and cons but just two completely different flavors.
