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

Kinda crazy these are coming in that much cheaper. Wonder why.

IDK, that's in Brit Pounds, depending on the exchange rate... LOL, I'm too lazy to look it up..

Says 260 USD to me but either way not worth it.

Wishful thinking.

I have a weird question: can anyone recommend cheap TWS (preferably non-stem) to be used as ear plugs for concerts? I read many reviews about traditional ear plugs (Loop Ears, Eargasm, etc.) and it seems like they're too expensive for what they are.

I wonder if TWS might do the job for louder shows in smaller venues. They don't need to have ANC, even passive isolation would be fine.

I have several passive earplugs, such as those you listed. They get the job done, and I keep some in the car as a backup or in case a friend forgets to bring earplugs to a concert. If you go to a lot of shows, really care about your hearing, and want excellent sound, the Etymotic Music Pro Elite are incredible. Also VERY expensive. Well worth it to me. Just used them a couple nights ago. They also sell the Music Pro, which is similar but not rechargeable. Had a pair for years before they died and i got the Elite. Also quite good. No idea if this is legit, but it's a crazy good price on them:

As an Android user, I've never tried the APP2. If they really protect well and sound good at concerts, that would be a nice achievement.

Yeah at that now lower 190GBP price for the black. The $298 is at the 229 linked earlier. Why did they drop a Beyer price so quick?

Just did a "scam search" for onbestsite.com, and the results were very poor. Doesn't look like a safe place to buy. Bummer

They got me again.. . Walmart had the Samsung Galaxy buds 2 Pro for $65 Clearance, and I walked out with them, last pair.. I know they’re not optimized for IOS at all, but Crinicle say they’re super close to the Harman curve. Going to see if I can enjoy them flat, with no EQ. I’ll let ya know.

OK, these Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro's are excellent, even with my Iphone. They are simply the best TWS I own when listening flat or no EQ. I wish I'd bought them earlier, even at their $229 original price. If you can find them at Clearance for under $100, then it's probably the best bargain out there. AKG still has the magic.

Drop has the B&O EX's for $229. Not much info though, some are questioning if these are refurbished..
