Mine have dropouts constantly, even if my iPhone 12 is in my back pocket. I don't think they would be reliable if my phone were on top of my head. How do I update firmware or get a warranty replacement?
I've been experiencing the same... on multiple sources. I've tried them with my iPhone X, Pixel XL, Hisense Q9G tv, and Nvidia Shield Pro. All of them have connection reliability issues. I've also had lots of difficulty with remote volume functions when using them with my TV and the Nvidia Shield - they're either full volume or no volume at all most of the time. Occasionally everything works properly but the overall reliability is pretty poor so far. Hopefully this can and will be rectified via firmware update.
Not at quite the same price point as we paid, but the new Fiio UTWS3 are very similar. They started shipping in late December as well. I don't have the Fiio but I may try a pair when I get the chance. Hopefully the connection reliability issues with the TRNs can be resolved with a firmware update.
It will be cheaper on Aliexpress on 11.11 and includes free shipping (which is rather fast, at least to my country). Not worth buying here and dealing with typical Massdrop hiccups.
Does anyone have issues with charging using usb-c cable? When I try to use a cable that I use to charge all my other devices, the cable sort of pops back out slightly and charging stops. It seems like the usb socket is recessed, pushing the cable out. After some fiddling it stays sometimes and continues charging if I am careful not to move it. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue? Seems to work OK with the cable that comes with these, but it's too short.
Not all type C cables are made the same, some are more recessed than others. If you put the two cables side by side, you should see that the metal part of the plug is longer on the one that works well. In my understanding, there is no strict standard for how long it has to be, so some cables and sockets are slightly out of sync with each other :)
@TWD-Industries Does this model has a built in mic, allowing the user to use it for calls as well?
I don't see any mention about this in the specs, so I am assuming that it does not come with one, but i might be wrong on that one, your answer would be?
I would def get these if they were made with a better chipset! the QCC3020 is one of the worst available unfortunately (no aptx hd/adaptive? :(). When someone comes out with this but using a QCC5144 I'll jump at the chance to buy!
Got mine yesterday and did pretty well with my Tin T2 plus iems, but you've gotta make sure that the contacts are actually touching before closing it, have to rotate the items slightly to make em sit right in the case. Judt feels like they could have made a little bowl on the middle of the case and open it up and allow more room for more iems, and the potentially big tips people can put on em.
Just received mine, I was using OEaudio wires and felt that the audio clarity and quality fell significantly after using the TRNs. But I can accept this for a much comfortable commute with it being wireless
My pair just came in yesterday evening and I slapped my EDC3 into them. I really like the fit and they work out alright with my glasses (not sure yet about glasses + IEM + mask yet.
Unfortunately, I'm also detecting a faint high-pitched whine in the background (both sides), which is mostly muted when pushing other sound through, but I can still hear it. Is that something I'm going to need to get over, or are these a bum pair?
It's alright, actually. I have thick plastic glasses and a cloth mask, so the least ideal combo for these. The order that I put them on matters a good deal, but once I hit the sweet spot they don't bother me.
