    Introducing the Noble Audio Falcon T.W.S. and the Tux 5....Oh, and Prestige Universals!

    It would be so exciting to see a well-respected CIEM maker like Noble that ALSO does TWS be among the first to marry best of both worlds. Dying to know if engineering is underway!

    Campfire Audio - Solstice CIEM

    How are those bad boys sounding? I absolutely love mine, wish I could do side by with Equinox because I'm curious about the single dynamic setup.

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    Perfect, many thanks for pointing me here. This confirms Fostex is dead end for my CA Solstices. I probably owe a couple reviews in that thread...

    Campfire Audio - Solstice CIEM

    Good point - that's what I was referencing earlier. Seemed like high-level takeaway was tradeoff for bass (Atlas) vs. clarity (Andromeda). I know tuning is slightly different on CIEM models and seal changes dynamics, so still curious to hear if anyone has had luxury of direct comparison.

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    Curious - anyone with low impedance CIEMs (e.g., Andromedas) tried MMCX BT option they like more than Shure BT2s? When I upgraded from my 64audios, I tried a bunch of old dongles and the hiss was unbearable. Love to see if people are happy with any unit for this specific setup.

    Can anyone provide additional commentary on fidelity for phone calls? I'm considering best measure to be how often caller on other end make any comment related to sound fidelity not related to noisy environment.

    Anybody have a pair of Solstice they can compare to Equinox by chance?

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    When did you receive them? I think I ordered just a few days after announcement, sent impressions a few days later and have not seen shipping confirmation. Can you share pics and more details? It's surprising the fidelity would be worse than wired Apple units, which lack custom seal and...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    As you may have seen, I ordered a pair of these and promised a review. Still waiting on build completion - COVID unsurprisingly impacting timelines. For what it's worth, they had a promotion on their site that took it down to $450. As others have pointed out, it's expensive for uncertain...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Hi folks - just wondering if anyone has heard chatter regarding next-gen of Fostex TM2, or similar premium TWS CIEM adapter? It seems like a well-built product but I'm wary of the mixed reviews, lack of AptX HD or LDAC, and complaints of subpar mic fidelity...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Hi folks, New member here - please forgive noob etiquette fails. Just wanted to throw out that I ordered a set of the M5-TWS Customs a few weeks back - hoping to have them in about 4 weeks or so (COVID crisis obviously huge uncertainty). I've been reaching out to companies for R&D venture...

    Campfire Audio - Solstice CIEM

    Neglected to mention - no new impressions needed for refit, just sent back upon arrival. Imagine with their 3D printing process they just turn a dial for IEM : ear volume ratio and start out more conservative (perhaps less simple, but conceptually).

    Campfire Audio - Solstice CIEM

    The 1st set was just too little volume to fill my ear. No seal and fell out sideways. I asked them for artist fit, and they insisted we redo audiophile - no charge until fit of course. So glad I agreed, because the resulting fit was just flawless. I've never been one to complain of comfort for...
