It is 199 on amazon.

Ah, I see under JVC. Will add it to the list!

If you are lucky, check the woot site. I once saw they sell the brand new for 129. Also, there is the Sennheiser momentum 4 for 119 in the post above us.

Well, looks like Samsung has either disabled LC3 or has issues on latest Android 14 on S23U. I was all excited for LC3, hoping this is not some stupid corporate decision to exclude LC3 in favor of SSC

I suspect the main reason Jabra has not released their FW update is Samsungs release of LC3 with the One UI 6.

They probably have been testing and know there are issues. Why get caught up in this type of issue until Samsung gets their act together...

I somewhat remembered the experience with the MW08. Sound about the same honestly. Maybe a few more volumes louder. The fit is about the same. The only noticeable upgrade for the sound is with Aptx Lossless. I got the $349 variant. The material is less premium in my opinion. More plastic in the earbuds and less sapphire. Other than that pretty similar to the MW08.

LC3 is mandatory if the device supports LE Audio so Samsung can’t exclude it if they declare it supports LE Audio to the Bluetooth SIG. This looks like a bug to me.

So get the MW08 for 1/2 the price somewhere else?

honestly the MW08 look better to me, I don't know what they were thinking with the new design, usually M&Ds strong point. Both their MW75 and MW09 just look less interesting than the more retro old school ones

That really sucks! Maybe I'll see if can cancel my order and get something else. I'm starting to see reviews on YouTube echoing what you say.
I've been looking at Denon Perl pro again or the B&O EX. We'll see what Cyber Monday brings.

If you can find a deal for half off, then yeah the MW08 is a steal. For $50 more from a brand new MW08, the MW09 is the better choice with BT 5.4, LE and Aptx Lossless IMO

I own both the DPP and EX. Like the DPP more than the EX

What are your recommend under 100$ bluetooth 2pin adapters? Currently I use mostly the TRN BT3S Pro which works quite well. Ideally would like something similar to the kz az09 or fiio utws5 (but cheaper). Most of the inexpensive non wired adapters either dont take 2 pin .78 or have terrible quality (no aptx etc). If this is the wrong thread to ask apologies I will post elsewhere.

Flossy - Recommend 100%. Time to upgrade from MW08...
His four most noticiable pros:
Volume, BT 5.4/codecs, battery life (that's very good at 12h with ANC, and 16h without ANC) but most of all the EQ-possibility in the app.

Oh snap, didn't see the EQ in the app. Ok trying the Audiophile EQ. Does make them sound better. My opinion changed a bit about them. Guess need more time with them to give a better outlook
