i managed to get a pair of LG Tone Free FP8 for £79 on amazon UK and they are brilliant value.

look great, sound great, packed with features and the best fitting / comfortable ear buds i’ve ever owned.

can’t believe there’s so little reviews or hype about these.

an absolute gem.

Well, a couple of people were inquiring a while back, I saw there is another custom fit TWS option...

Yep, more custom tips on a TWS than a fully custom TWS but not much to choose from.

How do you know this?

Sennheiser went with perhaps the same 7mm TrueResponse transducer drivers it originally used in the CX Plus True Wireless, which are great at producing a wider, balanced soundstage. What's likely changed is the way digital signal processing and software deliver the sound to your ears with more clarity. I wouldn't consider the Momentum True Wireless 3 a big leap forward over the previous pair, but they do sound better in the right areas.

can compare with Airpods Pro? They are 87€ on amz.de ... but I am kinda done with stem buds .. but I see how they could be an interesting alternative to the still quite expensive APP

this pretty much sums them up, the most accurate review i’ve come across.

After trying tons of tws sets, I’ve come full circle back to Airpods Pro.

Theyre just the best overall tws, I think. Tws is all about convenience, and they are objectively the most convenient if youre on iOS.

Comfort blows every iem ive ever tried away, due to the shallow seal. Best mic, best call quality, great ANC.

And they sound seriously good. Better than the mw07 plus imo, and as good as the PI7 ive used for so long.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the best. So ends my search!

My AirPod Pro and Beats Fit Pro have become my dailies for the same reasons. I wish the iOS EQ was even sorta good, but I’ve found a preset that works for me and they just work instantly and consistently. I have many sets but I fiddle around with those more than I actually listen to music. With the APP and BFP I put them in, press play and listen to music instead of trying to get them connected.

it's always the portability vs sound factor, and personally, I have to listen very carefully to hear the difference

Yeah, the competitors just haven't pulled away. And where they have they have still made compromises in sound. Pi7 for instance, vs Airpods Pro, the Pi7 have the deeper bass and wider stage, but also less energy in the midrange and treble. I think with the present market, if you're on iOS, all things considered, just buy Airpods Pro. Pricing wise they're just a better deal too, easy to find on ebay for 120ish brand new.

and for those reasons I JUST got me the Airpods Gen 3 (from Amazon Warehouse for 130€) and I am liking what I am hearing so far ... I never owned the OG Airpods, so I am kinda missing the open soundstage feel of those kinds of buds .. unfortunately, as much as I love my Sabbats ... they have become somewhat unreliable in the charging department ...

As for the amazon warehouse gamble ... those were the ones classified as 'used-acceptable' (I had posted the terrible description earlier) and well, it does kinda fit .. the case has seen some pocket time with a bunch of keys it seems, but that's really just cosmetic ... on one bud the grate where the plastic halves are fused together looks a bit odd, so for a while I was thinking I might have gotten a knock off ... but .. everything works within my apple ecosystem, they sound great, spatial audio is great, they switch nearly seamless between my devices .. so, I guess it's all good.

Now I have to test running with them tomorrow

(Oh wow, I just knocked the price down to 110€ ... I noticed that the wrong cable was in the box, usb A instead of USB C ... so I complained in support chat, first they offered 10€ off, then I showed then that they charge 23€ for that cable ... that was a very positive customer experience ... )

BT 5.3? First time I see that …. Anyone know what the upgrade is from .2?

Not much as far as LE things yet. From what I see on TWS models so far is 15M vs. 10M on the range and "quicker" connection is usually mentioned.

Haven't got anything new in a while, decided to order the sony linkbuds (donuts). Despite the lack of qi charging.
