Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

You driving?

I'll meet you in Amsterdam. Hovering over the PB2. Need to know if ANC can be disabled

Bought some of these for use on my air pro 4 buds. They're really comfy by default but find them slipping pretty quickly and losing seal.

With these in place they're rock solid. Been listening for 2 or 3 hours straight and not needed to touch the buds at all
Doesn't affect them in the case either

Can ANC be turned off or on all the time ?

Yes. There are three settings. ANC, Off, and Transparent

So, I knew Bose QuietComfort 2nd gen buds are being returned. Pixel buds pro 2. Here I come. Can't stand the Bose turning off all the time.

So sad to hear that Bose still have connection issues. It's what ruined the QC2 for me as well. I still have them, on the account of them being so comfy and me having lost my Enco X2 at the time. I was hoping mine were a dud...

I find it so odd that some have issues with Bose cutting out, I see the issues here and on Reddit. I have Bose Ultra earbuds, Ultra headphones, ultra open and the QC2 and they work with no flaws over 99 percent of the time. My only issue i have is when I'm using one at time and switch to the other and it won't connect, I have to put them both back in for a few minutes then try again. I only use with my Android phone.

That is a few of us with the same issues..

I can't say enough good things about the Pixel Buds Pro 2. The transparency mode and ANC are both well done. The sound is balanced on the default setting. I enjoy default and heavy bass presets. I made a couple of calls today on my walk and I was told I sounded very clear. It was a little windy, remnants of Helene.

I also got my gpbp2 and find them OK but not amazing. The fit is significantly improved over the gpbp1 which were massive, however, they're still not as comfortable for me as the pb2 or pba. For whatever reason they feel a little odd to me when I'm talking. SQ is OK, I find they lack clarity oob and used the EQ to boost the treble and upper mids. Anc and transparency are OK. Mic quality is OK, not amazing but not as bad as some reviews seem to indicate. I think they're an OK choice and I'll probably keep mine.

Looks like two new Sony LinkBuds models are being revealed on October 1.

After my Sennheiser Momentum Sport crapped out I rummaged through my box of TWS to find something to use in the meantime. Much to my surprise, the vast majority of my "old" tws were dead and would not charge or work. Two Adidas came in the mail DOA. The only set that powered up was my H ANC. MPow, Sound core, AKG, MW07 and original momentum's all dead. I have other more recent models but I was looking for something low profile where ANC could be disabled. Btw the "new" Sennheiser customer support sucks. 10 days and no response on my RMA. And they take "lunch" off everyday. Lol. What.

You may be able to jump start the charge via a few AA/AAA 1.5v batteries in series, that is the down side to Lith Ion if left a long time even older stock but still new never out the box.

I charge all mine every so often when I remember.

Yeah 2 brand new old stock Adidas dead on arrival.

For those who care and for what it's worth, I wasn't having bluetooth issues with the new Bose QC. The issue was the L or R bud would just power off. BT was rock solid out doors and indoors, no issues. But the power issue was odd and annoying. Talk about ruining a movie...

65 € for a WF1000XM3 like new is fair?
