Anyone compared sound quality between MTW4 and Aurvana Ace 2?

I still like the sound of the Creatives, but they are so affected by wind noise I can't wear them outside.

So if the MTW4 sounds as good (or better?) I would invest I think...

Have you tried just turning ANC off in wind? I can't speak to the MTW4 but my regular rotation is the Aurvana Ace 2 and Jabra Elite 10, which has very good active wind noise cancellation, but honestly I don't think it's a world of difference compared to the AA2 with ANC off.

It sure did do something with the Aurvana on my Pixel Fold. Toggled the switch on in my bt setting and it changed drastically for the better.

I agree..

I will try, thanks. I think I've just tried ANC and transparency mode.

Can't say I'm being tempted by the Fokus Triumph from the first two posters as it stands right now, especially when I already have the Falcon Pro Max that I'm very happy with (except some small things that I can overlook)!

I think it's premature based on two posts. Noble hasn't really had a dud before. They have earned the benefit of the doubt. I suspect these issues will be worked out soon enough but waiting certainly seems reasonable. If they sound similar to the XM1, all will be forgotten (forgiven?).

One more thing, I bought these ear tips on @regancipher 's recommendation. I find they do provide a better seal without sacrificing comfort. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802995992954.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.5c661557zv1J0w

Just had a call today from the distributor - seems like these are issues with the first batch. I guess they got them out to us a bit too soon to meet the demand. But they are now being recalled and will be swapped out with the 2nd batch (not sure how far out that might be). But from the sound when they are working, are indeed really really good. It is first gen tech from the company, so can see how it's more challenging to cater to. Maybe in the US/ other markets where they haven't been shipped out yet, they will be getting the 2nd batch to start with, so will avoid this hiccup.

Arghh. Bummer. It sucks when a new toy doesn’t work. I wonder how long this will take. Guessing at least a month? @Noble any insights you can share?

Never had a issue free launch with Noble TWS. With the Fokus Pro, Falcon ANC and Falcon Max. But will give them the benefit of a doubt. As they have either replaced my unit and/or fix it via firmware update

Was that batch supposed to go out? I find it interesting that it’s ready for pre-order with no mention of price. ( I’m assuming it’s the same price as Mystique?)

At this point in time I have no information to share, I will be going to the factory within 48hrs to get to the bottom of things.

Thanks. We are waiting with bated breath ….
