Have you bought then eventually? Recently there has been a significant drop in prices in EU too (maybe because of the announcement of the forthcoming Evo), so I am again wondering if I should give the Mini a chance...
I did cave in ... and they were shipped on 3/30 and STILL HAVE NOT ARRIVED !!! ... tracking is lacking ... but I got an ominous Fedex advisory about impending delivery on Thrusday which MIGHT be them ..
Still, my Bose soundsports free (old model) has by far the best sound stage and imaging..
I probably have 30 of these TWS headphones, from $300 (Sennheiser) to $16 (cheapies but fun). I’m always looking for that crazy bargain, but end up spending enough, that I should have just bought the B and W’s P7’s
You know what, YOU bringing those up again made me look around the current amazon marketplace situation, and besides that one egghead whose refurb I had in my basket (and I guess amazon alerts them and then they can raise prices) I found another set Used-Very Good for a mere 55€ .. and it arrived today .. and it looks pristine! the previous owner never bothered to open / try the S / L eartips ... but they forgot to reset the buds, so I had to listen to looking for Shogo's mac, phone / ipad for a long while until i recalled how to reset the list ... now, next I need to test how well the battery still works ... from first hour of listening it seems ok .. Very happy!
I really like them a lot. It's amazing what they have done with that small configuration. They have sounded great so far and I have used them primarily wired, but started comparing the SQ with the adapters the last few days. The adapters make them a bit warmer I guess would be the best description, but they still sound awesome. I have yet to try them with the balanced cable due to some source issues on my end, but supposedly it's a different experience altogether (in a good way).
Pillow test, lol. Seeing as I listen to music via my portable player even as I go to bed, I'm so thankful I sleep flat on my back, no pillow, hands by my side. Whether iem or headphones, I never ha e to be concerned with "sleeping comfort" as position doesn't come into play with me.
Flossy has a review up on the MTW3. Discarding his usual “show”, Sennheiser just might have a good thing here and much cheaper than B&O, B&W, Devialet or Noble.
I’m with @C_Lindbergh here. I would not invest more than 250 on a TWS. Not until LC3 at least. And even then...
But, to be honest, if I had funds to spare, I’d pull a few more triggers. Maybe like on the MTW3.
Earin.com is having a sale. Blowing out the A-3 for $99 with the code VIPSALE. Not the best of the tiny buds, but for $99, definitely worth a look IMO. I may revisit for a pair to leave at the office.

Well Devialet has lowered the price to 229 in the meantime. So, the MTW3 are not cheaper than the Gemini (anymore). But yeah, they might be interesting when compared to the new B&O EX for example. Will they be able to compete at 150€ less? That would be nice I have both on pre-order
Anyone have a Hifiman Bluemini R2R they want to dump? I landed a pair of the Deva Pros in the wired configuration and Hifiman wants $200 for the stand alone unit. Steep considering the bundle price.
We have nano UV sterilization on this one. We have Qi charging - first time for AT. Ear detection which can be disabled if you want. Quick hear-through and regular hear-through still the same - volume reduction or not, your choice, but not auto pause. Detects ambient sounds and adjusts ANC. Speech recognition feature. Claiming a wide 10-47,000 with Snapdragon sound. Small - only 60 grams with the case and 5.4 each side but that means smaller batteries it seems. 6 hours and 18.5 with the case. I'd say they were tested on both BT Classic and BLE so they will probably be firmware upgraded for the new BT after a while. Is there a decent amp chip in these?? Maybe - my Sport90BT has one and sounds good even though I only get SBC and AAC. Have to see the TWX9 box cause it only says it there "driver and built in amp for high fidelity sound" ?

Ya I have heard way too many good things about this set. Great that you have them. I tend to always go balanced if I can because all my sources have the balanced side with way more power which... 9 out 10 times opens up my iems. It's great that these sound good with the utws5 as the 5 is already hinting warm of neutral and typically sennheiser is more organic and warm. Very cool. I think I may pick these up soon. So do you also have the Ie300 or did I remember that wrong?

Yep, I have the 300s too. The 600s resolve any shortcomings you may hear in the 300s. I do like the 300s too, but they don't hold a candle to the 600s for sure. Not sure I have put them in my ears since the 600s arrived
