For "very good sounding tws" are you refering to fokus pro or other premium priced TWS? And TWS adapters only give you better codecs, so to make it simple I just let IEM w/o dac/amp compete against TWS with common codecs. The reason I ask is I was thinking about spend less on TWS coz I tried $350/$300/$200 TWS under same codec and they dont sound very different, beside none of them can beat IEM with similar price, so why not invest more on IEM and get a "middle class" TWS just for exercising. Because $200 TWS do sound lot better than $100 ones, but anything over $250, are flagships of various brands and they all sound just fine. It seems that a wired IEM are more like a mechanical product, and TWS are electrical products which upgrade much often than IEM.

For perspective, I use a few high end IEMs, or may mid-high end (Thieaudio Clairvoyance/Shure SE846) with a Shure TW2 adapter and they're stellar. IMO, they DO sound better than my high end TWS. Plus, if you want to go wired, you have the option. Best of all worlds. Just took me a while to find a few IEMs that I really love.

What are the chances I find the APP2 at an airport duty free store (Pearson Toronto Canada specifically)? I did not realize they charge 13% tax here and with the boxing day sales over, the APP2 at 329CA$ end up costing pretty much the same as back home in Tokyo. There's still that deal for 278CA$ at Visions, but seems not available in stores anymore (checked one today and then on website) and online ordering is a bit iffy in my case.

I firmly stand by Beoplay EX and EQ…There is no better sounding TWS on the market currently.

I beg to differ. I own the Beoplay EX and other top TWS. The best sounding TWS to me imo are the Nuratrue Pro

Agree that Nuratrue Pro is the best TWS.

I don't really mess around EQs. The Nuratrue personalized sound is amazing. Does a custom EQ for you ears and the sweet spot of Aptx Lossless from my Rog Phone 6. Bitter sweet

For those who love the Nura not named erockg are you running Aptx adaptive or standard codecs? Just debating whether I should spring for a dongle.

I recommend the nura dongle since you will be able to get Snapdragon Sound. Which is an updated Aptx Adaptive. 24bit/96hz sample rate, increased variable bitrate up to 860kbps and lower latency

It all happened after I tested a few flagship TWS and found they don't sound much different to me, maybe my ears are not sensitive enuff to tell the diff. And wired IEM world is just a lot bigger, investments deliver straight forward effects.

I tried EX and fokus pro and can't tell much diff, but yea EX is pretty much the best for now, even there is something thats better, only tiny better, on certain things.

Sadly I didn't try Nuratrue pro coz they don't reply to my emails. But did try twx9/fw1000t/ex/uw100/pi7/fokus pro in your photo, all of em sound find and are good tws to me. Just missed the best.

How do you rate the Fiio FW5? Testing it against the ZE8000 and trying to figure out where the benchmark is.

Anyone try the Campfire Audio Orbit that released couple weeks ago? Curious how they are, including talk quality.

It has good reviews:

I am a CA fanboy and I’m receiving mine from Amazon US Thursday

Of course I did! Wrote some thoughts a few weeks ago - do a search. Returned them due to ghost taps registering while in my ears. Plan to repurchase soon.
