No condensation issues? Ive been thinking of getting a TWS adapter and an ultra budget IEM for running.I use a Fiio UTWS5 with the Nio for sports and walking. Works very well for me. Don't use it during chores so much. I try to get the chores over with asap so I can get back to proper listening.
So fast! we're waiting!Szalayi landed, impressions to follow...
Oh yes, I quite like the XM4 too! I like Buds Pro a bit more for sound (they have very similar signatures but Buds Pro's pinna gain and treble are more in line with my preferences) but XM4 for everything else, especially its extremely comfortable fit and the noise cancellation, which is probably the best in the market. Some of Buds Pro's features only work with Samsung phones, which is a downer, but I still think Buds Pro was better value since I snagged one new for a steal, just $83, from Amazon. XM4 is still generally around $220+.TWS, and specifically the Sony XM4, has been a game changer for me. For less than $300 I get LDAC (very NB), advanced noise cancelling, water resistance, speak to chat, and a good approximation of Sony's house sound with quality that easily rivals most wired mid-fi IEMs. Does it make TOTL wired IEMs redundant? Of course not, not even close. But it's far more practical, and the only thing I really need when out and about or traveling.
Totally!For me, expensive wired IEMs and DAPs are a pita when doing anything but sitting or relaxing and listening to music. For everything else, where I'm not fully focused on the music or need my hands free, TWS is the only way to go. As always, YMMV.
I can recommend both Buds Pro and XM4 depending on how much you'd like to spend on one. For me, both their sound, features and convenience trump most good IEMs under $200 as well as some more expensive IEMs whose tuning isn't my cup of tea. Keep an eye out for Amazon's deal of the day since Buds Pro can be found for a steal now (especially since Buds 2 Pro are around the corner) if you wanna try an excellent sounding, noise cancelling TWS IEM with an IPX7 rating. Buds 2 Pro will mostly be launched at $200, close to what the XM4 is available for right now.Looking for answers to the same question. I haven't tried myself, but many says the xm4 is as good as a $100-150 IEM. The Galaxy Buds 2 pro will be released next month. I'll wait until the reviews show up.

That brings me to the question - How many people here use a TWS IEM that they're fine with replacing a good wired combo for the OTG use and convenience? If you do, which one's your favourite? And who all still prefer carrying and using the favourite wired combo even OTG?
Same here man i am a huge fan of DUNU. I bought DK3001 Pro with my first salary lol. Then I got the EST112 too. Listened to the OG Zen, the latest Vulkan. I wish someone in my circle also buys SA6. I have heard so many good things about it, but I am saving up for U12T myself so can't buy it.Oh TWS only! My trusty Samsung Buds Pro with the OnePlus. Don't even want to imagine the scene where I accidentally drop a DAP I'm testing in the sink full of water and dirty dishes. No curry on the DAP for me, thank you!

I use Airpods pro for gym and bicycling. Their convenience is best!!How many people here use a TWS IEM that they're fine with replacing a good wired combo for the OTG use and convenience? If you do, which one's your favourite?
Very nice pictures!! The case looks fantastic as well. Very excited to read your impressions!Very nice..! Curious what you think of them.
I also received a parcel just now...
These are probably the prettiest IEMs in my collection as of now... 'Nuff drooling, onto the listening!
I also received the Miter IEM/DAP travel case. The M9 fits, with TPU case, but it's pretty tight. I'll probably fill it with 4 IEMs and keep the DAP in a separate case.
No issues so far. But admittedly they have not had a lot of use yet...
I found the Hiby WH2 so bad I couldn't even bring myself to give them away. Tried pairing them with Hiby R8 hoping for some magical synergy, but no. They ended up in a dumpster.My phone and HiBy WH2 are all I need. Super comfy, long battery life (with 2-3 charges in the case), sound terrific, and even though they aren't ANC they cut out a lot of noise with a decent seal. TOTL listening is strictly at home for me, both in terms of IEMs and headphones.
