Sennheiser MX-W1's vs. Sleek Audio SA6's Wireless...

[IDK]

Which has better sound quality for portable music across the Board? (I listen to literally every genre of music)

Which has a Better Fit?

Do the Cancel Out Noise Completely?

Would a fiio amp help with the Sound?


Thanks in Advance

Sennheiser MX-W1 is a wireless Ear bud.
whereas
Sleek Audio SA6 (in wireless mode) is a wireless iem.

Its kind of hard to compare between the two with regards to fit as both are different.

However, do note that the mx-w1 implements senheiser's very own twist to fit system. I tried their sennheiser mx-85 and i seriously didn't like their twist to fit system and it is always hurting my ears so much, sold it.

SA6's isolation, with their stock dual flange, is *very* isolating IMO. Compared to other iems using silicon flanges, SA6's iem is relatively higher by a few notch. And, this is called "isolation", and not "Noise canceling" like some of sony iem.

However, it is possible to get custom moulds for earbuds to turn your mx-w1 into a wireless custom, but, including the cost of the mx-w1, it is far more costly than sa6 wireless.

With regards to amping, the improvement is obvious when i am pairing it with the RSA Predator. I sold my fiio e5 before I got my sa6, so i can't comment on that.

SA6's pros is that it is a very balance iem, which I feel is very suitable for majority of the genre of music.

My 2 cents.

Oh.. Opera S wireless series..

I think you can think of it as a "cheaper" alternative for wireless iems =/

I tried it once or twice at Jaben Network, Singapore.
In terms of value, sa6 wins by a much margin.
As you can see, their opera iems only operates in wireless mode, and their method of insertion is by the top only, and i dislike their coiling wires =/
Those factors already made me look away from them, much less comparing about sound quality lol..

If you wear it downwards, huge microphonics as there is too much slack at the wires.
Whereas for the W-1 receiver, which you can adjust the cable length to fit your head to reduce the slack of the cables, the microphonics and the "sway" of the receiver.

To be honest here:
If you want to go wireless, sleek is the way to go.
Unless you want to take the sennheiser mx-w1 + custom earmould, and i heard that the isolation doesn't improve to be like a "real custom", only the fit improves much i guess.
And sleek audio is the only one with wireless customs.
But i like sa6's sound signature anyway, so not much problem for me.
