Its to consumer's benefit when a cheaper model get released with similar functions and on par performance sound quality wise, let alone exceed the higher end more expensive models like what scarbir reviews claimed. But i feel scarbir have a tendency to lavish praise too liberally so i take his reviews with a huge pinch of salt.

Currently considering between the fiil t1 lite and soundpeats sonic which are priced similarly, as a replacement for my mpow t5. My t5 was purchased back in Jan so slightly less than a year but battery cannot make it already.

i'm also considering the fiil t1 lite. Currently using a soundpeats truedot that is quite wonky all of a sudden (volume very low, it turns off suddenly etc). May i check where are you guys buying from? It seems that the sellers on Shopee and Lazada are usually overcharging for pre-orders that take 2 weeks. Any alternatives?

So far i bought all my tws and wired earphones from shopee and never encountered any issues before. Yes, sometimes those oversea sellers might take longer to ship out but i have always received the goods without a hitch. Can search for this seller called Xltrade. His price for both Soundpeats sonic and Tiil t1 lite is at least 10% cheaper than all other sellers.

Thanks. But he does not have the tiil T1 lite. There's another seller (bigselina. Sg) though. Will try that. Cheers.

Been using Nuarl N6 Pro for months, love it. The tonal balance beats other sub S$400-S$500 TWS earbuds that I used for comparison.

The downside? No ANC, but it’s ok for me. Connection to iPhone latency on high side. Tonal wise, wish the low can go lower (not more, I don’t need more).

Really good audio. Love it as well.

Think i will settle for the soundpeats sonic instead for the longer rated battery life. In theory, longer battery life means no need to charge as frequently so battery degradation should be less of an issue.

I've been using Mavin Air-X for a few days now on Iphone with Spotify Very High. Listen mostly classical music. Blew my Jabra Elite 65t Active and Jays M-Seven out of water completely. Although soundstage is not very wide but the separation is very good. I could actually isolate and pinpoint lower sounding instruments such as cello and bassoon much more precisely compared to the Jabra. The sound signature is warm and V-shaped and it is a very pleasant sounding TWS good for long listening sessions.

Auditioned a couple more TWS at this price range ($50-$150) and here's my thoughts.

Helm True Wireless 5.0 ($99) - Bass monster. So much bass. I thought my Jays is bassy, but the Helm was so much more. Totally not suitable for classical music but I guess it's good for less complicated EDM.

Earfun Free Pro ($139) - Wow. Didn't expect this to be this good. Balanced sound, wide soundstage, and very good detail with exciting sound. Better than the Jabra 65t. But I still prefer the Mavin and its 'Hifi' sound because it is more comfortable to listen for long sessions.

Have a pair of qcy qs2 and qcy t5 , the earbuds have this random problems of silence/mute (buds connected / song playing) but there is no sound to it. This problem is random.

Both earbuds are facing similar problem during commuting in mrt and buses, sometimes in malls as well

The problems are occured for two different mobile phones.

Is this a common problem for cheaper tws earbuds?
Any chance anyone know what could have caused this?

Had the T5 and T1, no such issue. Currently on T10, find the connection not as good as T5, but charging case is way better.

I have Awei T10C, QCY T4, mpow mbit s, which I will define them as budget bluetooth earphones. So far they dont really give me much problems. What I like about such budget earphones is that they rarely have master-slave connection issue.
Main problem I see is the earphones' connector point may not sit nicely into the case to charge. So just need to adjust or push abit, see the light then close lid.

Unlike Sabbat E12 Ultra I have, i will encounter the master-slave connection issue, which I believe its because of the chipset qc3020.

Btw, do give mpow mbit s a try. Its quite a good recommendation from scarbir. :) Its currently my daily beater to fro work-home.
