Excellent tip. Moved slider to moderate. Perfect.Try this: (on your iPhone)
- Go to Settings > Accessibility.
- Scroll down and tap Audio/Visual.
- Tap Headphone Accommodations and enable the toggle at the top of the screen.
- Now, you can choose between three preset options that optimize the sound for Balanced Tone, Vocal Range, or Brightness.
(or try "Custom Audio Setup")

regarding sound quality, anyone tried the Final ZE3000 ?
Not sure if this was posted before but firmware update enabling multipoint is now available for the Sennheiser MTW3. Update took me 18 minutes but went smoothly.
Thanks to @mariowar for the heads up on the MTW3 thread.

I'm goin' in!Not sure if this was posted before but firmware update enabling multipoint is now available for the Sennheiser MTW3. Update took me 18 minutes but went smoothly.

The postman had a special delivery for me this morning. First impressions, very very good. Everything feels nice and premium, more so than I was expecting. ANC is very good from my limited testing, the sound is very neutral, maybe leaning a little towards the bright side, to my ears. The app has loads of customisations for different eq's, 5 band to tweak it. The earbuds are a lot smaller than I thought they would be, they fit very well. It's blowing a gale in London today so unfortunately the wind is ruining some of my testing.
Listening to Miles Davis in the park, these are quite special. Unusual to have such neutral bass tuning in a tws. I'll do more listening and report back, can already see the Enco X2 and freebuds pro 2 staying out on my desk for a while. These are definitely in the top tier for tws for me. Will report back after more listening over the next few days.

Been comparing several for the last couple of weeks.
Beoplay Ex - my second go round with these. Tried every tip in my arsenal and I can’t even get a fit that feels like they will stay in my ears, much less create an effective seal. Back they go again.
Galaxy Buds Pro 2 - stellar sound. Comfortable fit. But without the iOS app it’s awkward to borrow a friend’s android phone to make changes and update. It’s too bad the two walled gardens have built moats. They’re heading back.
Beyerdynamic Free Byrds - underwhelmed me in comparison to other options. Back they go!
Bose QC II - the real deal. Love the SQ. Easy to fit in ears and they seal themselves. They are well-tuned, ultra comfortable, easy as pie, and expensive. But I really haven’t experienced anything else quite like them. These are keepers. They sit next to my MTW 3s on my desk.

Good question. Nothing noticeable to me, but I haven't done any testing, just updated and carried on.Still waiting for a case update. Any gains?

Got to meet Crinacle in California while attending CanJam and had him try TWX9 as seen in photo.
He didn’t like them but only had 10 seconds at it in a noisy environment (food court), and then handed me his Buds Pro 2.
I like em too honestly! But the TWX9 straight up wipes the floor with the Samsung minus noise canceling + Frequency Response (IF you’re into Harman. I find Harman mids too hot, bass too strong).
Ironically, TWX9 is more along the lines of Harman 2013 Target, which is their best target imho.

Just goes to show that one shouldn't base what you buy from just 1 person, I completely love all the Meze's ive tried and the TWX9
But as always Samsungs TWS are an incredibile value position, you could already get the newest for around 150 EUR in my country from certain vendors that had a special offer.

I'll also be putting these up against the Freebuds Pro 2 when I get them in, which should be just a few more days now. Word to the wise: stay away from "SF" shipping, whoever they are. I'm guessing that when I bought the ATs on Amazon Japan I was not paying attention to shipping, and there must have been a choice. If so, do yourself a favor and choose DHL.The postman had a special delivery for me this morning. First impressions, very very good. Everything feels nice and premium, more so than I was expecting.

I am not sure if they worth the price, but please give a detail review when you receive them.

I stopped giving too much credit to Crinacle a long time ago. It seems like his testing methodology and philosophy are really just veils to his very subjective listening experience. And based on his lists for IEMs and alike, it seems like he much prefers more modest sound signature with warm tone and below average technical capabilities. This is not to mention his review sample size and update speed are just lackluster.Got to meet Crinacle in California while attending CanJam and had him try TWX9 as seen in photo.
