looking for advice.... I just surrendered my airpod pro's to my wife. What should I get as a replacement? (but not another APP because I need an excuse to get the new one, whenever if finally releases.). az60?

AZ60 is a great set man for sure. You may just want to get those and move on from there if they aren't to your liking. Most people live the AZ60 though

I like my AZ60s. Something to keep in mind is that these fit a little deeper in the ear than some, so if that is something that is uncomfortable for you, you may not like them. I only need one more set of Technics (wired iems) to complete the lineup here :D

It has been my experience that tips that don't work on some IEMs/TWS, work very well with others; I never discount tips just because they don't work well with something else. But also, sometimes if I can't seem to get anything to work well, I will increase size. I have more than one IEM that I was surprised with because of having to use a much larger (than normal) tip.

Which Spinfits did you end up getting? Glad you were able to find some that work well for you! :)

I’m not impressed with the Beoplay EQ. Since updating them the right earbud has stopped working which is unacceptable. I have updated lots of devices and it’s never broke the device. I had to take them back to the shop for a refund. I was very upset taking them back because the sound quality was sublime in the Beoplay EQ. I really regret updating to v6.1.2 but I needed the track skip function but instead all the update did was break the ear buds.
I’m so impressed with the Beoplay EQ - I did buy another one :beyersmile:

I think you are misunderstanding what I said about the Beoplay EQ. When I said I’m not impressed I mean’t I’m not impressed with the setup of updating. However, I’m really impressed with the sound quality which is a reason I asked for a replacement instead of a refund.

Anyway, I have successfully updated this time and enjoying the sublime sound quality.

I was interested in the Cleer Arc they were going to make but it never showed...

Open design beamform before the Linkbuds. :) Actually the Cleer Arc has made an appearance now in a new form...

They do use aptX and get 7 hours of battery life but they are not tiny and 14.5 grams per side. Guess they gave up on the beamform speaker tech as these use 16.2mm graphene dynamic drivers. They do have beamform mics for the calls. Should be a better version of the BOSE Open buds as the case here charges and they have full control on the buds.

First serious frustration with the UTWS5 they were in the case but started to steal the BT from the car while I was driving
Ended up having to take them out of the case and turn them off from the app so I could use hands free while driving.

Wonder if the battery in the case ran out of juice, would that cause the IEMs to come alive like that while in the case?

Maddening when it happened...

Yup, it's happened to me a few times. Not sure if FiiO will fix it in the next firmware update but they are aware of this issue.

The good news is taking them out of the case and then turning them works. But that is a pain in the *** :wink:
