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

Are there visual differences between the 2025 and previous years versions?

The logo's font is different.

is this working flawlessly ? im thinking of buying one myself for iPhone. Do you need to turn off phones bluetooth then ?

It's a confusing mess. Yes, it works. But yes, you need to turn off bt or disconnect then wait (which sometimes takes a min) to get the adapter to connect to the buds. It won't work on a few of my buds. Says it's connected but then I hear nothing. The app is buggy, sometimes disconnects and I have to be patient to get it to reconnect. It works great with my Noble Triumphs, PI8 and Tour Pro 3, but not others. YMMV. I don't regret getting it. But if you think you can rely on it... nope. It'll just live in my collection for when I'm home and want to do LDAC or aptX on the above mentioned buds.

So the big question is can you hear a difference between AAC and LDAC?

Loved the Pro tour 2 and just got myself a 3! A significant upgrade in connections and performances

Hey, first time I've seen you here, well at least recently... Welcome abord!!!

Triumph sounds great with LDAC on my iPhone, not as good with AAC.

Prestige sounds stellar and better with AAC on my iPhone than the Triumph with LDAC on the iPhone.

The JBL Tour Pro 3 are wonderful. Had them a few weeks now and use them all the time. Best set of JBL buds I've used to date.

After trying quite a few of the TWS's on this thread, I can say that my most used/loved is the Devialet Gemini II and use it 90% of the time. Runner-up is the B&W Pi8 and using that case as the transmitter.

Others that I tried, include the Noble Triumph, B&O Beoplay EX, and AirPods Pro 2 (used for calling convenience with iPhone).

I've also got the JBL Tour Pro 3 and indeed they are fantastic. Really happy with them.
I had been using the default tips for some time but recently switched over to the azla TWS and for me the fit is much better (slight improvement in ANC too)
Sound is truly fantastic - *Even with EQ turned off.
Spatial audio actually works well too.
I tried using mine for calls too but noticed that when using the transmitter case the mic works but the noise gating doesnt appear to work as well as when you just use bluetooth.

Sleeper hit of the year maybe?

*Limited control customisation is the only big negative for me though

Guys, I've been using GB3P for a while and haven't gotten call quality complaints from people. Maybe it's good or the best right now.

Curious about the JBL, but that price be damned! I see a lot of cheap JBLs, but then that one is a lot more expensive!

Same, re: gestures. I'm using the Azla too.

Also, the PI8 shine using aptX on the Fiio BT11.

I wonder where to buy the foam tips because the app has an option for that

A pair came in the box, but I've abandoned them for the Azla.
