It does click

As does my 16 month old unit so no redesign

Status after 2 1/2 hours listening on aac (priority on sq), anc and eq enabled and dsee disabled. This on a 16 months old set that is used on average 10 hours per week. So about 10% per hour which has also been true on 6-7 hour trips which is the longest I’ve yet used them in one session.

You can just tell those tips will push into the ears better than the stock ones.

That they do. No squish necessary, just s gentle push and rotate to fit them.

Not good for higher energy activities (running, etc), as they don't stay in as well (for me).

Mine clicks too, but the click is subtle, so some people may not notice it

I did not notice the click-to-stay-open until several months in. Bought mine in August of last year.
Also have had no problems with one unit draining faster than another, FWIW. Way back in this thread was info that both units connect equally (one is not a slave to the other) so battery usage should be pretty even, save for button functionality.

I wonder if one piece is getting more ANC noise than the other to compensate?

Going to have a serious analysis tonight since I bought them a few days ago. Haven't had the chance to insert them into my body yet.

Have not had the time. I love babies! I also love my second priority. Sound. In due course.

@assassin10000 , where did you get your Air Pod Pro tips? I assumed they were OEM, but Apple doesn't make black replacement tips.

They're aftermarket foam tips. I got mine from AE but Amazon has them now too.

To click or not to click - that apparently is the question Not sure if my old ones click sufficiently, but they still do sound very good with the Spinfit cp360 (although the b&o EX sounds quite a bit better - to my ears)

Thanks @assassin10000. I also went back and found your original photos -- clears up my next question, that the APP tips are oval, but it's the inserts that make that shape, and once those are out the foam part is round and will fit.

Ive just designed and 3d printed out a tip storage box...

OK, now that’s cool! Can you print an IEM case?

You can print out anything if you good at 3d designing but Im not much good at it, so I mainly nick other peoples designs from Thingiverse web site.

But I did design this fuel cap opener for my generator thats really useful and 1 of my better designs, but it took me hrs todo though.... The fuel cap is hard to turn because its so wide and thin that you can't really grip, so with this Ive made I can turn the cap really easy now and Ive stuck it on as it might aswel stay on the cap...
Id be lost without a 3d printer as its so useful..

What codec do you use? I had 4-5 hours at first on LDAC. Now 2 if I am lucky I'll try to switch to SBC for a test though.

I noticed since the first day that charging the case with the tws inside makes them hot, and overheating is not a good thing if you care about battery life. I charge the case when the xm4 are outside, I don't know if it helped but after 15 months I can still get over 4 hours with anc and ldac on.
