Product Description
We partnered with Axel Grell—legendary engineer behind some of Sennheiser’s most sought-after headphones—to create a true-wireless IEM with unprecedented audiophile-grade performance. Working closely with Axel’s new brand, grell, we left no feature unrefined. Noise-canceling is revolutionized with grell’s innovative psycho-acoustical Noise Annoyance Reduction (NAR) system. Connectivity is optimized with Bluetooth 5.2 and support for the latest codecs. Communication is crystalized with an advanced microphone array and patent-pending Multilayer Turbulence Eliminator (MTE). And sound quality? It’s best-in-class, thanks to custom-designed dynamic drivers. Introducing the Drop + grell TWS1X IEM: your new true-wireless staple.

I can't get transparent mode and ANC mode to consistently trigger. A single touch to either side also doesn't seem to trigger anything.

See g.todd’s question for the full touch controls.
To toggle ANC, hold your finger on the left touch area for a full second. Noise Annoyance Reduction is toggled by holding on the left for three seconds.

Is there somewhere I can report bugs? At random times the ANC will increase bass to BOOMING levels in just the left ear, it comes on and turns off completely without my input, always just the left ear. It's intense and irritating and it makes me not want to use the anc.

Are there instructions or manuals available online that are more complete than the cartoon “quick start guide” that is included with the TWS1X’s? There is so much information about these great sounding IEMs that would be good to know. ANC, NAR – undefined. SoundID seems to be related to these IEMs, but no mention is made. Can the phone be answered WITHOUT using the TWS1Xs? They seem to hang up on calls with a shake of the head. The quick start guide makes Ikea assembly instructions seem hyper detailed in comparison.

When I work out, I use an MP3 player on my smart watch. Android 7 has a very good MP3 player with volume control. I now have a new smart watch with Android 9 with a limited MP3 player with no volume control and the volume is too low. Does the Grell have volume controls? And what other controls are available. Also so my experience with touch controls is that when I try to adjust the fit in my ear, it pauses the player or jumps to another song.

The grell TWS/1 has glass touch controls for volume, playback, ANC on/off, transparent mode, etc. Its responsive like a smartphone’s touchscreen. You can grab the edges of the “disc” to reposition them with low likelihood of bumping controls.
Karin Grell made an excellent diagram of the touch controls, I’ll find them and share with you :)
Edit: It’s a PDF, which I can’t upload here. So here’s some screenshots of the PDF for you 😂 ought to do the job!

Good question, complicated solution!
Our ears are unique, and filter the frequency response of speakers, headphones, and everything we hear. “Neutral headphones” are designed to sound like linear studio monitor speakers. It’s like wearing tinted glasses, but you’re used to perceiving “natural” through that filter. With headphones, an audio engineer (Axel Grell was the chief engineer for the HD 600, by the way) at least knows your outer ear and inner ear will apply the same filter effect to speakers and headphones. In-ear headphones can be designed to emit a linear, flat-measuring sound, but we’re not used to hearing sound that way, without the filter of our outer ears (and different ear tips change the sound significantly as well). Long story short, it’s harder to make in-ears sound like a specific headphone or speaker… out of the box.
If you download the SoundID app, it should come with an alternative tuning that gets reasonably close to a linear sound like the HD 600. However, the secret weapon is to take the intuitive SoundID Quiz, while you’re in a quiet environment, to A/B test and build up a tailored EQ profile that is unique just for your ears! That profile can also be uploaded into the TWS1x, so you can use it with any source you want besides your smartphone, too 😉
