Has anyone plugged Sennheiser IE900's into Shure's true wireless adapter?

Might go full stupid and rock some $1500 "earbuds" at work

I currently have the Sony WF-1000XM4's and they have always made a weird driver flex noise in the left earphone and idk if I want to go XM5's or what, but I kind of just want to go full "audiophile" or whatever, like no matter what consumer grade stuff I get suet when I go back to my SE535's it's just on another level, be nice to have that everywhere. I wonder how much you loose with the Bluetooth? They do bluetooth 5 but I don't think they have AptX or anything.

Has any publication reviewed the Sennheiser Momentum 3's, B&W Ti7's and the Sony WF-1000XM5's by the same person or in a comparison?

I have noticed lot's of these "luxury" manufacturers can't seem to nail down the software, B&O, B&W now these... lots of dropouts and goofy stuff reported.

I've been on Apple Music for 22 months straight now. I've not stuck with any other music streaming service for this long of a stint in the past. I've tried them all, again and again, back and forth, but I have no complaints with Apple Music. I tried it right away when I got my iPhone 13Pro, and haven't had any reason to try anything else. Great sound, good app interfaces, never any buffering issues, or app crashing issues, algorithms to me are fine and I am suggested good/new music consistently. There have been things I disliked about every other streaming service, but no complaints here.

-Amazon HD would have songs labeled incorrectly often
-Tidal always wanted to push rap/hiphop I guess since Jay-Z owns it. I am very anti that type of music. Then there is the whole MQA not really being lossless thing, and Tidal is/was priced high
-Spotify had promised lossless for like 4 years now and its never come, but otherwise isn't bad. I just can't justify paying the same price for music that isn't lossless.

John Darko has a god video on Apple Music and their lossless statement,some interesting nuances

Anyone with DPP's know if they've dropped a firmware update in the past couple weeks?

OoOOoo..
This takes me back to when I began following this thread - when the MW07 and MW08's were talked about and contended. I nearly bit the bullet back then, but I held off.

Now, I shall eagerly await some impressions once again.

Qualcomm is killing it. 1st true Lossless Bluetooth codec with Aptx Lossless. Next true High-Res Lossless over wifi and not that artificial Hi-Res from Bluetooth

 

[C_Lindbergh]

."The new model supports Bluetooth 5.4, Snapdragon Sound and Auracast in addition to multipoint connectivity for easier switching between devices."

Finally! Thanks M&D...!

There are still OEM's releasing TWS buds with Bluetooth 5.2....

The spec list of these new MD buds is insane! Everything I ever wanted from next gen Bluetooth.

I'm really disappointed that Final Auido didn't follow suit with their latest mk2 ZE8000...

Just such a shame that both Google and Samsung refuses to par take... Even Samsung devices with a Qualcomm SoC don't support anything other than the old aptx codec...

My Intel BE200 (WIFI7/BT5.4) will be here tomorrow hopefully.

They look big buggers but no secondary stability so they're a no for me

From a BT point of view it will mean that you'll have access to LC3? Which may not be a step in terms of SQ, but a big step in terms of convenience.

But like I said in the adapter thread...Give a PC with Snapdragon X elite! Perhaps they'll launch a wifi/bt adapter too (one can hope).

Yea I feel every earbuds should have option for fins or ideally wings and if you do not need or like those then use the finless/wingless band.
