I received mine two weeks ago. Much better quality sound than my Apple Pro 2. Much more clear and full sound. Very happy with them and I am very picky on sound.

Nice review and it would not be hard to have better SQ than any Apple devices, the AirPod 2 Pro have the best AMB Mode out there and vey good ANC (beaten by Sony/Bose and possible 1-2 others recently) but not audio SQ esp. on Android or PC using better codecs than AAC with other earbuds like MTW4/FiiO FW5, etc etc (aptX Adaptive/LDAC/LHDC)

That's a great and solid review! Have you had the chance to compare these to Sony's WF1000-X5? I like these come with a 12mm DD which can potentially translate to better sound quality.

Would these work as studio monitors? I know wired headsets are supposed to be better, but I have never found a model that wouldn't get me sored ears when worn for a somewhat long time... BTW I've used Audio Technica and AKG Models, they both hurt my ears... in contrast, I am very comfortable wearing wired apple earbuds during long periods.

What about connectivity walking down the street, on the subway, or in a crowded store? You know, the real world! I had a pair of B&W Pi7s and they would drop out frequently. The sound was good, but the terrible connectivity ruined the experience of listening to music. From what I have heard from others, the Pi7 S2 had similar problems and I've seen a few reviews mention dropouts of one or both buds on the new Pi8. Did you have any issues when using the Pi8 out in a real-world environment?

I’d like to find a pair of wireless earbuds that sound as good as my wired Shure SE846 earbuds. I have the Sennheiser Momentum wireless earbuds but they are a notch below the SE846’s. I love the convenience of wireless. Love to know how the B&W’s compare. I used to own the B&W 800 Signature speakers many years ago as well as quite a few other B&W’s through the years. They were my first high end speaker brand some 40 years ago. BTW, the SE846 buds sound best using my old Pono player in balanced mode!

I'm sure this presenter is a nice guy, but he's never going to be a KZitem star. You're not supposed to just sit there obviously reading a script in a mannered and stilted style. The Stereophile and Absolute Sound world of old men extolling the imaginary virtues of obscenely priced equipment is on life-support. Old men no longer even have the top octaves of their hearing. I love great audio and gear as much as anyone, but the defining characteristic of an audiophile is a rich fantasy life.

I'm curious how these stack up against Sennheiser TW3s. Worth the upgrade? I only go wireless when working out or waiting at the airport. All other headphone listening is through cabled cans, so I'm not sure these are worth the spend unless the sound is significantly better than the TW3.
@SplodgeCDR
Ай бұрын
As a Owner of TW3s, who literally bought and returned 4 premium TWE (True Wireless Earbuds) just to come back to my TW3s, I say just keep them bro. I work at a bestbuy, so you can imagine what I'm talking about. Its very ez for me to return things/exchange. I had a pair of B&W headphones. I returned them because the made my songs sound to soft, with not enough detail or bass/treble. And I bought the SM3s (Sennheiser Mommentum 3s)Headphones. And as you know from the earbuds, the Headphones sound amazing as well, with rich detail and bass detail that's not just boom boom messy cloudy trash you would get it you tried Sony Headphones for example. Yadda Yadda , I say all this to say, don't end up like me who went on a journey to find the one that got away, all just to come back to them. P.S I will say ,when I tested the Devialet - Gemini II, they did sound better then the TW3s(Like 2 points better 8/10 vs 10/10). the only reason I returned them for the TW3s was because A. BestBuy didn't want to insure them(like a protection plan) and B. they had a small noise cancelling hiccup glitch where when you are around a sudden really loud sound, they stop working altogether like a spooked sheep. And you would have to take them out and place them back in the charging case in order to turn them back on. If you have any question on the other 3 I tested just shoot me a comment.
