Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

Do you guys think the Devialet Gemini can still roll with the high-end tws? I recall there were issues on launch. Have they been taken care of since?

I do think they're great and even better at 240, but I've long since moved on to the newer stuff. Had them a few months ago and they didn't have any issues after the big fw update.

Was there any particular reason why you got rid of them??

Soundstage and tuning was great but actually preferred my B&O EQ and now the EX.

Not sure about you, but the grip and the ease of grab on to the E10s are much more to my liking versus the EQ. Seemed like I was always pressing buttons on the EQs, don't get that with the new ones, plus the seal is much better for me.

Pretty sure you meant EX and I completely agree with you 100%. Less taps and no tap to activate and then tap to register.

No, I meant E10s. It keeps @jant71 from getting wound up on the Roman numerals Also, Final Type Es are a no go in the case.

Ha ha! Forgot about that!

Think this is legit?? https://www.vardon.shop/product/bla...oth-headphones-for-workouts-and-sports-black/

Might be worth it just for the charger

Even if it is, I wouldn't pay a penny for those again. They're gigantic, killed my ears and the case was like carrying a stick of dynamite. But hey, I just wasted $99 on a pair of Earin A-3 that showed up effed up. App won't connect with their servers to update the firmware and then this morning one bud won't even power on. Good times!

But that soundstage……
Hard to give up, just like open back headphones. Zep never sounded better,
Listen to JT’s Aqualung, amazing

 

[deuter]

The B and O ex are the ones to get for sound quality? Or the Gemini are still at the top.
Currently using the Grado ones and loving it.

I'm just waiting for more impressions of the EX/MTW3!

 

[Ceeluh7]

I totally agree. I love my in ear monitors but man, I always go back to the damn true wireless earbuds.

Yup... You and I both

Take it from this old man with tinnitus from hell. Protect your ears. If you need to max it, something is wrong. Sorry for the lecture but I’m telling you you don’t want what I have.

I’m right there with you. I also have raging tinnitus (in my left ear, at around 16.5kHz) since exostosis (surfers ear) surgery back in 2014. I try to have it under control with CBD and a pill (latest attempt) but some days (like today) it’s blaring.

A good rest and less stress alleviates it for me the most, combined with the current treatment. Headphones (any kind, at sensible volumes) help forget it.

But I also strongly advise not to hear music at high volumes. I went to clubs a lot, concerts galore (still do), bad headphones with loud sound... just avoid it. And IT WILL hinder the way you listen to music later in life. I’m 50 now and I’d like to listen to music for as long as I’m here. Aside from progressive (natural or induced) hearing degradation, just try and slow it down. Tinnitus is no joke.

My left ear has a constant whistle. I get it and agree with your concerns
