I did. The best I have heard so far, and the only one that can sync videos on my LG G5 perfectly.

Sound wise, runner up I would say is the SP700N. 65T sounds worse than CKR7TW.

If you are looking for your first true wireless and you are not on a tight budget, it is a good choice.

which will you pick if not on budget, sennheiser true wireless, sp700n or jabra elite 65t?

I not sure. But it can connect to 2 devices simultaneously. Comes with a small dongle for pc/laptop.

Just ordered the audio Technica wireless from Stereo online store at Q010.
They have 10% discount.

Top up random stuff to enjoy the $50 coupon for min $300 purchase.

Tested before and I do like the sound. Loud enough also.
Latency is noticeable when I skip tracks on purpose, but believe that's true to all or most wireless.

Sennheiser M3. No brainer. Tighter budget, CKR7TW. 65T sounds terrible, SP700N has unreliable connections.

Not sure ipx4 will be risky to use for as daily driver for running.

Wonder how’s the upcoming Klipsch zippo one.

I don't recommend the M3 for exercises though. It doesn't have the extra wings that helps to hook under your ears.

CKR7TW has though.

Hi, would like to ask, if I am using a true wireless Bluetooth earbud, such as Beoplay E8, assuming I'm using the file format mp3 320kbps, will there be a noticeable sound quality between a DAP vs a phone say Samsung Note 9?

For an IEM I know there will be as there is less noise etc in a dedicated DAP with no interference etc.

But for Bluetooth my understanding is the Codec used such as LDAC Aptx etc is a major factor. Since the signal is already passed through the Bluetooth, the DAC quality inside a phone or a DAP should not affect the sound quality right? Inteference from other components inside a Samsung Note 9 should not have any effect right?

So if I have a Beoplay E8, is it still worth it to invest in a DAP?

Got the Audio Technica ATH-CKR7TW for around $250 from Stereo.

Good deal using discount coupons from Q0100.

Great soundstage.
Excellent for pop or mainstream music.
Not so detail as Seinnheiser true wireless. Acoustic.
Loud, some wireless buds volume are very soft.
AptX. I feel it is a must for any wireless buds.

If you are using this for YouTube. You will be disappointed.
Latency is obvious. (Voice and video don't synch well).
Some phones auto corrects this issue. Samsung etc.
Please test in stores first if YouTube is essential to you.
I have other wired Bluetooth senn cx 7.0bt for that.

I use Sony DAP.

Just curious, the DAC is done after the signal is passed via Bluetooth right? It is done at the earbud right? In that case, why use a Sony DAP?

Or is there something I'm missing out.

Using DAP is just my preference.

For Bluetooth buds...the codec plays the most important role.
Sbc codec from my dap will sound worse than AptX codec.

Think the seperate dac provided may have improve static interference??
So far, Have not encounter same interference as previous Senn wired Bluetooth.

Btw, for those with MTWs, does your case discharge quite fast? Sometimes I found that my case just go flat without 10+ hours of usage

mine seem okay, but i'm not a heavy (daily) user so maybe I don't realise the discharge.

but there was once, the buds turned on themselves (and played music) while in the case... till today I dunno how or why it happened :\

anyone owns the xoundpods can confirm the following:

1. if used for calls, with both pods connected, need to take out one to speak into as mic?
i think the pickup pattern kinda sucks.

2. above situation, speak through phone mic still works?
