I am using them with a Samsung Fold 4 and enjoying them alot. I am using them with AAC.
Do they have multipoint and hearthrough?Amazing, in my opinion.

Did you peal off the plastic film from the earpieces' stems? It's Creative's test to see if you read the fine print.Got the Creative Ace in and they're giving me quite some trouble. Pairing to my phone worked, but auto-reconnect seems like hit and miss. Also, the Creative App recognizes the device, but repeatedly hangs while trying to connect. Therefore I haven't been able to use any of the app functions so far, bummer.

Not sure about multipoint, I think not, though. Ambient Mode/Hearthrough, yes.Do they have multipoint and hearthrough?

However, I managed to connect them to my notebook and get some measurements. This is probably the first time two MEMS-based TWS have been graphed side by side.
All measurements are without ANC.
(RAW measurements: green = Creative, blue = Linner)
(DF-compensated: green = Creative, blue = Linner)
High treble actually looks better than expected on my rig, compared to those graphs that have been posted earlier. The 16kHz spike seems to be real though, since it's in both measurements, but it likely won't bother anyone older then 30 years or so. And it certainly doesn't bother me.
The Ace have a bit more energy in the upper mids and lower bass, which makes them slightly v-shaped, but not in a bad way. Overall there are more similarities than differences between these two MEMS-based TWS, the Creative's default tuning being a tad more consumer oriented and the Linner's more analytical. On listening to them side by side, the most striking difference is in bass, where the Linner sound noticeably clearer and cleaner. However, unless I can get the app to work and EQ the Creative's down, it's hard for me to say whether that difference is mainly due to tuning or due to technology (DD vs. full-range MEMS).
That's pretty much all for the moment, more to follow if I can get the app to work.
The old Van Halen 'no brown M&Ms'Did you peal off the plastic film from the earpieces' stems? It's Creative's test to see if you read the fine print.
Banging my head against the desk at the moment reading Nuarls Twitter.Subjective conclusion: currently, DD's higher sound pressure level in bass is needed for ANC. But if ANC is not a must, full-range MEMS seem like a better sounding solution.
The creative ace 2 connects to my Samsung s23 ultra in LE audio mode. If I turn off LE audio mode in the Bluetooth settings on the phone, it connects in basic aptx. LE audio mode sounds more spatial and refined than aptx mode. Oh and in LE audio mode, the creative app would not connect to the earbuds, have to turn off LE audio mode and the creative app will be able to connect to the earbuds.How are people finding the new Creatives on Samsung?
My wf-1000xm4's died a few months ago. Tried the 5s and they both didn't fit great and made me motion sick, so I grabbed the TMW3s.
I don't know what it is, but I'm just not enamoured with them. I mean, I like them but I don't love them, so looking at trying the Creatives with the Aurvanas....
For sound alone? Maybe. But xmems Cypress will be able to generate enough SPL for ANC while having the incredibly fast timing and accuracy to cancel even sporadic high frequency sounds. That to me is worth waiting for.MeMs are not a panacea for anything. There are $6k IEM’s that use multiple DD’s, BA’s and electrostatics. Lots of planars too. A big nothing burger me thinks…. Meh
