Makes no sense, it is being upscaled if the player supports it (PowerAmp for example), so there is no benefit as the files are 16bit to start with.

Anyhow I have chimed in with my advice so take it or leave it.

Anyone else try the UMs? Now that I figured out how to charge the case, I’m thoroughly enjoying them :)

Only pain in the ass is that some of my buds will “come alive” in the cases if I don’t leave them connected to chargers and then my iPhone switches to them.

some of my older tws that i rarely use would do that, they would suddenly connect to my phone... that's the signal for me to charge their case :smile:

Are any of the Jabra TWS still good? Which one is the best??? I just got sent a 40% off coupon: Flash40
Yes, I find the Jabra 85t Elite a good set, particularly for voice calls. It has a setting that amplifies your own voice on calls that surpasses all others I’ve tried to avoid that stuffed ear feeling when talking. Music SQ is pretty good, small case, good app. Possible drawback is the codec goes up to AAC.

There’s recent talk the 75t is almost as good, just lacking a few bells.

Hope that helps.

I'm using these settings, can't take a screenshot right now.
To explain further, when I say +3, I mean +3 "notches", not +3 as the absolute top seems to be called. To me I would call that "11" because it's 11 notches up from 0.

35hz - +3 or +4
1,6khz - +10
3,2khz - +9
12khz - +10

I think these settings are honestly fantastic, it makes the earbuds really come alive for me. It lifts vocals up, but also makes drums sound more "realistic", and also makes the bass punch hard, but ONLY when a track demands it.
So the first slider leave at 35hz to +3 or +4, third slider leave ay 1.6khz +10, 4th slider 12khz +10 and the 2nd slider where?

I got Kenwood W-AS1 and sound is amazing, but fit is not good
Could someone advise me a better option under 100$
If your in Canada and want to buy at Brick and Mortar stores. Visions often have the KEF MU3 on sale for $98CAD which is a really nice fitting IEM that has a good balanced signature. This is a more audiophile oriented TWS so is well tuned but lacks an app. I found its default signature to be very good though.

If your in the US and want a good sounding device that fits better and are willing to wait for someone to put them on sale, or find a good sale, I hear the Sony Linkbuds S are on clearance as Walmarts for under $100. Super comfy TWS. The default signature is less bassy that the big guns from Sony so good if you want less bass, but I found its over all signature a bit to safe for my tastes. Battery life is short if you use all its features.

Soundcore you could go Space A40 which is really comfy and sounds good. If you catch the Libert 3 Pro or the Libert 4 on sale you might be under $100. Decent abalance sound. Really good battery life, solid app. Bang for the buck the A40 might be your best bet.

JBL Live Free 2 and Live Pro 2 go on sale for under $100 in the US and both are really comfortable and sound good. These are both solid and have good battery life and well rounded app.

JABRA have the lower end Elite models go on sale often and they decent with good comfort and lots of functionality. I have not found a Jabra I wanted to keep yet. BUt others love them. Battery is OK but not as good as JBL or Soundcore, apps is pretty good.

Nah, the second slider is at 1,6khz, the third on 3,2khz, the 4th on 12khz.
