I just got these WOW. I have a Google pixel phone and It integrates perfectly with my phone. The quality sounds fantastic. The customization is amazing. The active noise cancellation, transparency mode and the talk mode is amazing. The only complaint I have is the mic quality isn't great it's not terrible but it's not great so it's fine. But I make like one phone call every 2 months on these so I don't care. That's not a feature that bothers me. People also have to remember this is $100 cheaper than the Sony or the Bose and the Bose really suck software wise.

I’m a little disappointed in the frequency response and ANC performance. I understand I can use the in-app EQ to improve much of the concerns mentioned. I wish you guys would include measurements of your attempt to bring the tuning of a pair of earbuds closer to your target response. This way we can gauge how effective the equalizer is. Info in this context is extremely helpful in figuring out how much wiggle room there is in a pair of earbuds’ tuning with the native EQ. ANC is pretty straightforward. I feel like they made sure not to make it “too good” so their next premium release that replaces the Tour Pro 2 has room to perform noticeably better. I dunno, these were one of the few earbuds I’ve been looking forward to getting. I’ll have to see some more info on ‘em.

Would you guys consider reviewing the new AKG N5 Hybrid? From what I’ve seen so far, these are very high performers both in frequency response and ANC. Being that AKG is under the same Harman International parent company, these could be a better alternative. Just a little tricky and expensive to get in the US. I bet that’ll change though.

Chris, how do these compare to nothing ear? Do these sound better or worse in your opinion?

Hey buddy on 1.35 you told head tracking with spatial, I know it has spatial audio but no were on their website they mentioned about Head trackinh, can you please confirm if it has head tracking feature?

If the case had storage and bluetooth, it would make total sense for it to have a screen on it, since you didn't need your phone on you to play music.

And I think that was the plan at first, but they couldn't make it work and then released this.

Seems there is no base in these earbuds. I did change the settings in the equaliser but very disappointed still. Waste of 200 euro.
