How did you find the ifi go pod with iem's? For me this seems like the ideal set-up: more space for proper iem drivers and more space for the wireless tech. Any favorite combo's?

Actually, in my office, I often use the iFi Go Pod with Sony XBA-N3 or Kiwi Ears Quintet .. but outdoor, I still prefer to use EAH-AZ80 with a decent ANC (iFi Go Pod don't have) 10000XM5 do have some strange annoying noise while walking.

Hi,
What is the best budget tws iem right now ?
I would be using them in the gym, only for music, call quality is not important for me.
From my small research the best seem to be the moondrop space travel for about 24 euros or the soundpeats engine 4 for about 33 euros.

Picked up the Sony WF1000XM5 yesterday and the fit is much better then the XM4. I like the new tuning to, a bit more neutral. One thing is they are some slippery little buds. The foam tips suck, I wish Sony would stop the foam or add silicone to. Find other ways to make the passive sound isolation better.

I agree. I like them better than the XM4. I prefer silicon tips. I also like the Sony app.

Sounded all right. The AZ80s sound better for me. The EQ on the jlabs is all over the place. And the ear tips ended up hurting my ears whereas the AZ80s are very comfortable.
Have you ever tried the 3ANC?

Finally received the Aurvana Ace 2, and paired them to my Android with a Creative BT-W5 adapter to use the best connection (Aptx Adaptive HQ), and the results are pretty damp so far. The Bose ultra earbuds sound way more full, smooth and airy then the Aurvana (same EQ applied to both, lowering the bass and focussing more on mids n highs). Will do some more extensive tests, but frankly I see them heading back to the shop.
Had higher expectations of the xmems.

Also waiting for the Falcon Max to go on sale but am starting to think it won't be today. Thinking when some articles said that they would start shipping out on December 18th. Could mean to authorized retailers or consumers. Saw this recent article and it says the Falcon Max will go on sale at the end of December

They give Aptx creation to Sony…. Be careful here, as I said, they hype train is on the tracks…

“In addition to xMEMS technology, Falcon Max headphones feature Qualcomm’s latest SoC design, providing compatibility with Sony’s aptX Adaptive and LDAC codecs for high-quality, lossless audio.”

These people want you to rebuy all your goodies……. 👍

I checked in with Noble on Insta several days ago. No response. Weird that they published the 12/18 date.
