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

Also nothing better than walking around on a work call waving your arms around like the American Psycho doing business (Or in our case on the phone to Amazon returns)

I wasn't considering phone calls, but if we are talkin about comfort and ease to use, tws win, hands down.

I have the dual dynamic Mackie IEM. It's pretty decent sounding. These will likely be more aimed at the musician.

Campfire Audio Orbit came in today. I have to admit, these things sound great without EQ. Full, wide soundstage. Great separation for a TWS. Decent bass/sub-bass. Case is super light, small and pocketable. Buds fit well with aftermarket tips. Azla to the rescue. Full touch controls but no ANC or Transparency. Probably missed something but they do have wireless charging. I didn't they they did. Prompted for a firmware update upon pairing. Went smooth. These things are tuned very nicely. Leans toward the bass, but for me everting else is really really good for hard rock/metal. Let the honeymoon phase commence...

Attached is a few comparison shot vs the AirPods Pro 2 and the Nuratrue Pro.

Finding this EQ rather good on the JBL Free Live 2

This is the news i've been waiting on from this thread. Looking forward to more impressions.

Been wanting to spend more money on a product to see what it got me and was going to hit the Nobel Fokus up but these came out as soon as I was ready to spend some $$. The Noble also made me hesitate as I will use them for running + gym and will sweat quite a bit so wanted something tough and sturdy. Would love feedback on Fit when you're ready.

Not sure they're for running, gym and sweat, but maybe. I can see them popping out if you don't have a great/tight fit.

Anyone know any TWS that has LCP driver and comes with very detailed EQ app? Like you van adjust to the precision of 100hz span.

Im done with crowdfunded tws for now. I've done the Hyphen, Pamu, Morph and Apesonic bit just don't see any ingenuity above and beyond the rest of the established players.

It's fun if the campaign takes a year or two and then they show up one day after you've forgotten about them. By that time as Morph showed us the problem they were solving has been solved some other way.

I'll still tune in for your review tho

The suss thing here is how they made a tws their cheapest product on the roster, surely it's more expensive to design a tws than wired iems?

The fact that there is a new chip roll out every few months or so, keeps prices suppressed as manufacturers fear their products will become obsolete.

Keep us posted. These caught my attention, although they are not very feature rich. To me the bar to beat is still EX and TWX9. I have had a few CA products over the years, I do like their stuff and like them as a company.

I did Apesonic as well....what a disaster that was!

I also did Edifier NeoBuds Pro and Elevoc Clear with mixed results, with Smabat part of me feels like Edifier they are at least a name I know....part of me thinks, yeah but it's crowdsourced and everything you've done in this field previously has been by and large crap!
