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

How long have "we" you being waiting on Bose FW to add Lossless?

The QC II are IMO poor SQ and the fit is a joke over their old secure fit, I found a way to wear without hurting my ears, but it means no wings and normal buds that fir in the cancel not their flange type so PIA to charge them in case.

The white noise they make in ANC mode is the loudest I have heard in a long time and TBH it is not even that good, about the same as Sony. but fit does effect this.

You will always have the outliers, my comment was general and I still stand by it that you will have better chance for ongoing support from the big boys, generally speaking.
I.e. Sony pushing multipoint for the XM4.

I typed above on my phone, what a mess lol.

The XM4 have been out a long time (better late than never), I had them at launch, same deal as Bose, poor SQ and many issues and IMO both overrated and more about ANC that SQ.

What music do you like listening too and what kind of sound signature do you prefer (Warm, Bassy, V, Neutral)

Something V or Neutral.

I listen to jpop, anime and game music, a bit of jazz, some rock.

As an FYI, I returned the Nuratrue pro. The sound was incredible, excellent staging and expansive. The Bluetooth cutouts we not acceptable IMO.

I also recently tried the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro with the S23 Ultra and they sounded good and I was surprised with it's short nozzle I could get a good seal, at least one good enough to pass their Samsung app test. I wanted to hear the codec that engages with a new Samsung device. The sound was good, but couldn't take the place of the EX.

I have had it since launch day and have been impressed with the battery. I am going to a concert tonight and plan to take some video and photos so it will be a good test. I have never been impressed with a Samsung battery in the past, I didn't have great results with the S22 Ultra.

I used to buy almost every top brand Android, released in the US. That would mean 3-5 a year. For the last 2 years, I have limited myself to the Pixel & Samsung releases. I also have the Pixel 7 Pro.

I am excited to see the results I can get from the camera tonight.

You could consider buying a MMCX to 2Pin adapter and the Truthear Hexa, they are getting many good reviews.

I did consider the Hexa, but do you have a good recommendation for the adapter? Every adapter I've seen says they break real easily.

Most people go for the OEaudio adapter, I have these
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B092D6MQV4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AASEEGAQR7G3R&psc=1
I have been using them for one year and they didn't break. They get stuck tightly on utws mmcx connectors, I don't know if it is a pro or a con, anyway I never swap them.

Lol they're like 60 CAD. Also, the Hexa takes like 4-5weeks to ship in Amazon.

Is the Hola better than SE215?

With GB2PRO to get best sounds on the Samsung make sure to do the adapt sound and also to have Dolby Atmos on.
Also for me I prefer it in dynamic setting
Has great bass but textured and no bleed into mids.
Treble is detailed too. More so than most other tws I have heard.

 

[Exia]

On my Mystique the right bud almost everytime is not connected out of the case. I need to put it back in case and than it would connect. it's a bit of annoyance. Anyone else with same issue?

Yeah, those adapters are way overpriced on amazon. You can try to find them on aliexpress.

I found these 50 CAD ones. Someone recommended them to maybe?

As for the Hola vs Hexa? Hola is much cheaper and will arrive much earlier.

That monthly wild hair led me to purchase the Oppo Enco X2 and a Find N2 Flip (which is still en route). I'm a sucker for trying foldable phones. Anyway, the Enco X2 are so very much APP2 that it's flattery I guess? They do seem fancier. ANC isn't as good, but I'd have to give them the edge on sound. After tweaking and running all the EQ processes in the HeyMelody app, Dynaudio sounds very very good. Punchy sub-bass, great soundstage. Clarity is excellent. Had to tip roll and I'm still searching. Settled on the Final TWS tips for now. The stock tips didn't work for me. Case and buds are both a finger print magnet. All controls mirror the APP2. Wireless charging included and I haven't tried Multi-pairing yet. Purchased them off Amazon UK. I'd say they're worth $150 or less if you can get them at that price.
