^^ I would say the Wear Sensors, I had slight issue on day one with them so wiped them in case they had something on the surface.

The ANC is a hit and miss, it works well one day then next day does next to nothing, I assume it is adaptive so would prefer to be able to disable this.

I was messing with that Tweak Slider like you but was not sure what was best.

3 times today the right ear bud started to click once every second or 2. Every time, if I remove the bud, the music stops and when I put it back in and the music resumes the click sound disappears. So not sure what's causing this but hope it doesn't become a common occurrence.

Probably some ANC issue .. as I am using the EAH-AZ80 for hours without such issue at all, but I never activate ANC (too much impact on SQ for my taste and I have already a sufficient passive noise reduction with proper ear tips)

Btw, here's my FR-measurement of the Pro-18 (red = RAW, gray = DF-compensated). Should be pretty consistent with what one hears, except for the bass range, which might be a little more or a little less, depending on fit.

Received and played around with them and indeed! Those are lovely!
Initially I thought maybe I had gotten a bad batch, but it was my selection of test song that was just not a good idea (hectic salsa brass for a semi open, sounded even worse on the AP3 )


What I really like (and did not expect, thinking this would be a 1:1 clone!): the case is quite some smaller than the AP3 and the stems on the buds are a bit shorter

Only thing that bugs me: those are fiddly to get out of the case.

Thanks again for the recommendation

Ride on C-train with AZ80 shows these to be excellent ANC TWS. These block sound as good as the XM4.

I did the ANC tweak yesterday using the TV to make louder noise and chose the setting that seemed to block out the voiced the best which was not the highest spot on the slider, it was 1 or 2 notches below the top. The top spot actually let in more voices.

New tips are working really well. They make the TWS more stable and since they have no foam covering the opening they have opened up the treble giving cymbals more clarity.

Which tips are you using?

New Philips sports TWS with "detailed sound", "adaptive noise cancelling", "auto wind noise cancelling", and "clearer calls on the go".

I am really looking forward to your thoughts and observations. I didn’t partake of the Nura offerings, but this is a second chance if they turn out to be special!

Can't wait to hear your opinion if they are just rebranded Nuratrue Pro or a few improvements

I had a hard time too, trying to get them out at first. But then realized that you can just push with your thumb from the center to the side, and they'll slide out easily:

I like the test song you posted, btw! The brass has lots of energy in the upper mids though, making it sound a bit obtrusive with this slightly mid-centric earphone.

Does anybody know where Hifiman ships from, is it China? I want to place an order for the Svanar TWS, but with that price I just don't want to have to pay the extra import tax ordering from outside the EU... because that would add another 125 buckaroos on that price which is just... insane. I paid over $500 for the Fokus Mystiques, and I don't see myself paying $625 for the Svanar unless they had some REALLY impressive sound and features, like... idk, if it could give me back rubs and a happy ending I could possibly consider that price.

I feel your pain.. Also in EU and holding off on the Mystiques, 3ANC and Svanar because of this. If I were able to test them out and know I like them I'd be happy to pay the extra, but going in blind only based on reviews is a bit too much for me. Even though it seems I really can't miss with the Mystiques for example, but still..

Not the original poster, but thanks! I apparently missed this but their website does indeed mention this:

Q: Where do you ship my order from?

A: Your package will be shipped from our warehouses in China, in the EU, or in the US according to your location and the availability of stock.

So I've sent them an email to ask for Svanar Wireless availability in the EU warehouse.
