How waterproof are these? Google tells me that IPX5 means that "Water projected by a nozzle (6.3mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects." What does that mean for actual use? It rains really hard around here, plus I don't want to worry about dropping them into a puddle.

VeganJoyEven hard rain will be fine. If you drop into a puddle I would expect the earphones to work but technically submerging under water is not under IPX5.
Please note - the charging case does not have the same water resistance level. You should be fine as long as you don’t let water go inside the charging ports.

A few comments and a question...
overall, they do connect and play. That’s about all the positive comments so far. The only button that seems to do anything at all is the left unit. The right just lets me power that one on. Sure would have been nice to be able to pause using either L or R. No way I’ve found to control the volume.
now, if AAC actually works, then that’s a plus. Just a big mehhhhhh.

I'd like to pipe in with a quick praise for what I consider this product's primary strong point, durability & longevity.
I've used lots of wireless IEMs, some really good ones too that sound better than these. But these have become my go-to for the gym. Other wireless IEMs I've tested slowly disintegrate under my gym-use, I've never had one that last a full year. Problems include one channel going out, or the joining (behind the neck) cable wearing out and coming apart.
I got these as soon as they first hit the market, I've been using them solid for at least over a year, maybe closer to two years now, I don't remember the exact date I got them.
I've put some Comply tips on them and it helps the sound quality. SQ isn't bad, but I've heard better and Comply eartips add a bit more punch and bass to the overall presentation which fits my workout playlists that consists of more metal, aggressive EDM and hip-hop/metal crossover songs.
The case is a great shape for sliding into my pocket and not leaving an alarming bulge in my pants. The battery life easily exceeds my workouts. I've even heat stressed them by bringing them into the sauna with me several times, using the left only so I can listen to podcasts. Eventually the bud turned off on me, I assumed it was heat and humidity so I put it back in the charger case and didn't try that again. But, after some time to recharge and cool off it worked for fine ever since.
The secure fit is good, and I was skeptical considering how much of it sticks out of my head, but it's balanced nicely. Comply eartips definitely solidifies the fit and make them even more comfortable.
I've read some people having problems with one bud not charging correctly, I haven't had that issue with these but did have it with some cheaper models I tested. Generally, you'll want to try to keep those contacts clean and ensure they are actually making contact. Otherwise, if you experience that problem I guess it's just FUBAR. That was the case with the aofrementioned cheaper ones I tested before settling on these.
I don't know how much longer they'll last, I've gone through quite a few wireless IEMs over the years but these have hung on for the longest of any I've used. If they go out on me, I'd think nothing of joining this drop.
Good luck!

I have a pair of the older version. I can't change the volume on my Sony NW-45. They work fine with my iPod Touch. I wrote NuForce but never heard back. They sound so good that I don't want to sell them. Any thoughts on this problem??

Hello,
I just received 2 new earphones, the EOZ and the KUZ both from Indiegogo and they work fine!! No problem changing volume. The NuForce are just toooooo loud.

The left earphone (master side) decided to die on me on my second listening.
It doesn't charge as well, only the right side does.
Anyone else has this issue?

Just took the plunge on these. I like that they have APTX LL, I haven't seen other earbuds that have that. One thing for the future I wish these would have is the faststream codec it is so that you can continue having high quality stereo sound while using the microphone. I believe only a few bluetooth headsets use it (Creative and Avantree). The feature would be really useful for using these while gaming. One other thing that would be nice is to not have audio drop out in both earbuds when you remove one earbud.
I would also really love it if these bluetooth earbuds would start going for a more ergonomic design iem such as the KZ ZS3's they fit my ear perfectly.

Hi MD / NuForce, what's the warranty on these and how will warranty service be handled? I'm assuming a v2 or new model is coming out thus the drop?

Thx for the reply Jyri. When paired with Avantree's TC418 I can't get max volume via Aux In (from a SBX G5) but no issues when it's via USB in. No such problems with any of my other BT cans when paired with TC418 via Aux In. Is there a way to force these into Max volume?

JavngThe damn white noise is annoying as hell like an ear torture that doesn't end no matter what, that completly ruines every quiet passages in any piece you try to listen to, like trying to tune to a station in an old A.M. radio, really disappointing cause I really wanted to like them but just couldn't put up with the white noise interference any longer.

Has anybody experienced audio/video lag? My Bose SoundSport Frees’ are awful in this regard, even with the latest update.
