I had to be cute with the wood. Buuut, you can indeed find some silicone or rubber stoppers to work with the Linkbuds for sure esp. in some place with a good plumbing section.

Haven't seen anybody besides you, yet. Not even on reddit where more and more people have the MTW3 as well. I cannot reproduce it no matter what I chew It might be faulty, yes.

Send or bring them back if you can and try another pair. Only then you can be really sure.

If, while they sit in the ear with music on, you wiggle them a little? Do you get any disturbance? Clipping?

Update MTW3.

Still experiencing the clipping of sound while chewing/moving mouth. (no pops or similar like the Devialet, but clipping)

Walked outside earlier today, chewing gum. The left bud was almost unusable. Clips in audio at least a couple of times every minute. Annoying!!!

Tried A LOT of tips, only the large Comply Foam TW-200-C limit the problem a little. But SQ with the Comply is way worse than with all silicon and included tips.

Anyone else hearing this? Could it be something faulty?
Left bud/ear is far worse than right, and problem only with ANC on.

Did you activate the wind noise reduction and see what happens?

The z1r need some power to make them shine. Paired with the Ifi idsd signature, they sounded flipping brilliant.

Thanks for mentioning that setup. We got some feedback that z1rs go rather nicely with iDSD Sig and xDSD Gryphon, so there's probably something there. Thanks!

None of that, no.

Yeap. I’m having a similar problem, except in the right ear. Sitting extremely still in my quiet office, the right ear keeps popping. Also, I’m getting a lot of white noise background on that side.

It's the same with wind noise reduction, I'm afraid

 

[Trager]

Yeah, this is definitely an ANC thing. It’s fine with ANC off, but either anti-wind or On and I get popping at random intervals in my right ear.

So sedna light mediums worked for me on the fokus. Spiral dots sounded like poop. Medium Azla crystal worked as well, but the light sounds closer to the original sednas, which is to say they sound a little better.

Also got the evo today. Probably not fair to compare to xm4 and focus, but they definitely aren't as good as either. I had to update them to use ldac. App works pretty well. Stock tips are trash. For 150, I'd probably go ze3000 over evo, those obviously are not feature rich.

Some extra interesting bits from the product page:
11mm drivers, 5 band EQ, volume based EQ (trying to keep everything balanced as the volume goes up and down, interesting idea), pliable ear tips (sounds like foams or maybe a hybrid like Sony), some kind of pressure relief system, wireless charging.

I've been using the A Series Pixel Buds as my main buds for a while now because the fit is perfect for me, they sound pleasant, the case is a nice size and I like the fact they're not full on ear plugs.

I think these could be one of the better mainstream options out there if they keep the same kind of sound signature, there's no glaring hardware issues and the fit is good.

No popping or clipping with ANC off, and when sitting still and keeping mouth closed/still. Then they sound amazing!

But with ANC/Wind ON, opening and closing mouth makes them clip the sound a tenth of a second. (can't explain it better)
Almost exclusively on the left side with me. I know from earlier iems/tws that there's something about the inner ear movements/jawbone in the left ear that triggers these kind of "disturbance".

I can remember examples like driver flex on Fiio FH3, popping with the Geminis, a little noise/popping with the XM4 and now this...
No problem with Lypertek Tevi (they still sound great btw), Beats Fit Pro, Airpods Pro, M&D MW08S for ex..

No white noise except when using Transparency mode.

Oh yeah. I’m 99% certain my MTW3 are defective. Right earbud just did some weird squealing and static-y noise thing in middle of a song. That can’t be “normal”.

Agreed, with ANC off they sound pretty good (I prefer a slightly brighter sound than these have, tbh). I’m pretty sure I’m not doing any movement, though — I’ve worn IEMs for a very long time, and have had a number of TWS with ANC and never had this problem before.

The white noise seems to come and go on the right side. Like I said in my post a couple minutes ago, I’m pretty sure I have a defective one.

I have had similar "squeaking", when using tips that were too big (Spinfit CP360 large).
Back to mediums now, and I just get the "clipping". :/
