I have found the joint that rotates the right earcup has gotten loser than it's left counterpart. Now the clamping force of the headband is translated stronger on the right earcup, making it rotate towards the back of my head and losing seal on the front. Anyone have a similar experience?

Am I right to assume that the USB mode has a very low latency?

How do the ST fare regarding latency when playing games? I expect negative responses due to the lack of low-latency codecs, but I'd like to know for sure. I'm deliberately not looking for a gaming headset. I want something that works for music, films and games.

I vouched for the Spinfit before I had the TW wireless adapters. I had impedance mismatches and the Spinfit provided a sound signature that was closer to natural. But with the TW adapters, I went back to the large black foams. With proper impedance, they work best for me.

Hi, I'm considering the HD820 as my first high quality full-sized headphones. I need them for computer and game console audio, so I intend to pair them with my Marantz 1506 receiver that supports multiple inputs and HDMI passthrough. Should I expect audio issues with the headphone jack of such a...

Did you get the 8 hours of battery life with or without on-device EQ? I'm curious if the additional signal processing affects battery life.

I assume that the TW2 has a lot more storage for software on the earpieces. If you want the features to work with any source device and player app (not just IOS/Android with Shure Play app), they must be implemented on the earpieces themselves. It is possible, that the TW1 can't handle it.

Can the automatic power on after removal from case be switched off? This would annoy me a lot.

It seems that when Shure releases an update for the Play app, they bundle the most recent TW1 firmware with it. The app doesn't download new firmwares dynamically. We'll need to wait for the next app update.

I guess people who received the update use iOS. Nothing on my Android phone so far.

I only drained them fully once so far, but the battery level was indeed incorrect. It depleted slowly from 100 to 40, and then dropped towards 0 quickly.

Yes, the right earpiece discharges faster. It handles the communication with your phone and passes data to the left earpiece. The left earpiece just receives data from the right. It has less work to do.

My TW1 have the firmware version 7.9.4.0 according to the Shure PLAY smartphone app and don't support aptx hd. The app says that no firmware update is available. What firmware version do yours have?

Yes, my experience is the same. The BT2 is boomier in the low end.

The BT2's aptX hd coded is superior to the TW1's plain aptX. But electrically, the TW1 is superior to the BT2. The sound is overall better by a sizable margin. I don't want to plug my 846 into the BT2 again.

I'm using the SE846 option and I'm very happy with the sound. More balanced than the BT2.

I got 7 hours of playtime on one charge over the course of two days.

I don't think the options do any audio processing. I suspect they adjust the output impedance, which affects the frequency response, which affects the perceived volume. All I need now is a simple small case, for when I don't need the big charging Shure case.

The 846. The other settings I tried sounded to boomy, like an impedance mismatch. The BT1 only supported SBC. That alone made the product oxymoronic.

My opinion is that the TW1 (with the proper setting) drives the 846 better than the BT2 did. The low end is less boomy, base guitar notes are easier to pick up amid thundering drums. Could be that the BT2's impedece wasn't perfect for the 846. The biggest game changer for me however is the...

How do you achieve AAC playback? What device and what app?

I haven't used the wire in 2 years and I can't connect it to my current phone to test. Didn't have time to really listen to music since I received them. I intend to listen to an hour-long album later today. Will post my impression compared to the BT2.

Another limitation to be aware of as an audiophile are the supported codecs. Shure dropped support for aptX HD compared to the BT2. The TW1 support SBC, aptX and AAC. My Android phone connects to my car using AAC, but for some reason it refuses to do so with the TW1 and uses aptX instead. My BT2...
