Better than the FIIL T1 Lite, thats for sure. (cant connect to the damn app though…but regular BT works.)
Yup, have them and for the price they are phenomenal IMO. I prefer them to the MTW2.

They are really good and the price is right. The only weak spot for me is the tips.
The Fiil tips fit them perfectly and provide a deeper fit and as a result more vivid sound.
I had no issues with the app on iOS although it has its quirks and the eq is pretty lackluster.

New Technics up for sale on Amazon. Only white though. Not sure why the darker color isn't.

Sennheiser CX 400BT Impressions:

Sub-bass: Sub-bass is elevated and on the tighter/faster side, with good texture. Does rumble but not that much and extension could be better.

Mid-bass: Mid-bass is the focus over sub-bass, but fortunately still on the tighter side, speed is decent as well as texture.

Lower-mids: male vocals tonality is quite good but slightly recessed.

Upper-mids: female vocals tonality is too warm and slightly recessed as well, not shouty at the slightest.

Treble: extremely tame/relaxing and fatigue free treble, very smooth and a very safe tuning. The mid-treble area is the reason why this isn’t overly dark for me and just ends up being a very warm treble and upper-treble does have some air in it.

Overall: A pleasant surprise after my experience with the badly tuned FIIL T1 Lite. Looks like my TWS journey might not have ended.

I experienced this. Putting them in the case overnight resolved it for me, though I did eventually return them, so I'm not sure if it would have recurred.

My Devialet Geminis have started to auto-pause at completely random intervals but very often... Has anyone else had this issue? I think it detects touch on the right earbud even when i'm not even close to touching it because I hear the "click" sound from the right earbud like when you touch it.

At first I was thinking it was the ear detection sensor but I don't think it would make that click sound just before it stops the music if that was the case, right?
This happens occasionally for me, but putting them in the case for a few seconds takes care of it. I think this is "reboot your computer", TWS-style.

About wireless charging, no issues for me. FWIW I have this, I assume yours does support Qi, in which case it should work.

For $90 you will be hard pressed finding anything better.
Mids recessed tonality can be fixed with tips that fit better instead of the stock tips. I did quite a bit of tip rolling as many of the tips that I have handy do fit but don't go well with the CX 400BT.

For me the bass is perfect, not that tight but gives it a nice speaker-like feeling and I like the treble as I'm very treble sensitive.
See if you can install the app after all as you should be able to tweak it further.

AKG N400 is next on my radar, if I get another one.

This hobby seems to drive some people crazy looking for the perfect set of earphones lol
The XM4 tick all the boxes for me, so glad I don't need to spend a single penny on anything else. Just be content people with what you have.
Saying that, those potential JVC TWS potential woodies have me interested. Was a fan of the FW01 and the higher end JVC stuff from Japan, if they can bottle that into a TWS, magic.
