Currently those out in the market don't have the best.
You have to choose what suit you the best.
Some have better sound but poorer connection.
Some good connection but uncomfortable to wear.

Based on online reviews, the common con seems to be the loose fitting.

Just finished reviewing the Bragi The Dash Pro (review). Audio quality is neutral with comfortable full bass while the treble is not as clear compared to Jabra, E8, Samsung Gear IconX, Erato Apollo 7. It sounds better than the original Dash, though, and overall product has improved. But audio cutoff is seriously poor, no different from the original Dash. Strange some users say it's improved, but I tested on 2 smartphones and they have the same issue.

The Dash Pro is the most expensive TWE among the usual brands, but it is also the most intelligent when it comes to interaction through head gestures and tap gestures. The earbuds knows that you are running and auto-starts the activity tracking. Incoming calls can easily be responded by either nodding or shaking the head. They are also IPX7 rated, so you can wear them for swimming - the only TWE that can do that.

I would buy The Dash Pro only if I want a waterproof TWE for swimming, or need to interact with the earphones without touching them, e.g. riding a bike. Audio quality pales in comparison, and BT signal cutoff is still apparent on the test unit.

Weird. I'm using the Bragi Dash Pro which I bought from Lazada in December last year. Have been using it daily for commuting and have never faced any audio cut off. There was 2 updates ever since I bought them. Did you update yours?

 

[FappingKing]

Anyone has experience with those cheap china brands?

Cause my parents see me use truly wireless like cool they want to try try

Just wondering which one connection the most reliable among the china ones...

I owned both the original & the pro, the pro is definitely a big improvement compared to the original in term of connection.

Both have 16ohms impedance. Not sure why E8 requires more volume. But sound quality wise try compare them at the same volume loudness not on your phone volume level.

Its not using wired than the amp in the phone will play a part in regards to impedence.
This is wireless, it has to do with how the BT of the earpiece decode and adjust base on its internal decoder gains to suit its drivers.

Can any E8 users here give some input? After trying it I'm actually quite disappointed with the audio quality. I'm currently using bluebuds x together with jetAudio plus player installed in my android phone. With the bluebuds x I hardly increase the volume to 50%, but with the E8 I almost hit the max volume. I did not use the jetAudio EQ, put all to flat. Do I really need to use the beoplay app to help boost the sound cause I did not install it prior to trying. What player do you use?

Some players do adjust gains using "ReplayGain" functions or R128.
These "properly" adjust those tracks that peaked on gains and those that do not. Thus adjusting the volume to 80-90% of max and normalize it.

Turning this off does help in volume. But it usually increases the distortion on you BT.
