Hello! So, I have been struggling to find what I would consider the “perfect” TWS IEM. I have, so far, tried the Jabra 75t Elite (which did not work for comfort IMO, and these will be used heavily for exercise, so they must stay in well and also be comfortable for long periods of time), and what I am currently running is the Libratone Track Air + (much better in terms of comfort, but even with foam ear tips these can tend to slowly fall out of my ears, and they lack volume control). I am returning the Jabra’s, and at this point, keeping the Libratones, but my search still continues. I was hoping for some rec’s. Here is a list of my requirements, and my budget is a little over $250 maximum:
- Comfort (will be used at work for 6+ hours at a time, and I am a smaller guy, hence I have slightly smaller ears then normal. I found the airpod like build of the Libratones far more stable then the jabras)
- Needs to have an ambient monitoring mode (for work, this is an absolute requirement)
- Audio quality (the libratones are completely acceptable, but I tend to enjoy bassier signatures.) I listen to all genres, except for country and screamo, but primarily to rap, rnb, rock, and edm. They will also OCCASIONALLY be used for gaming (ie. once in a blue moon)
- Some form of water resistance/IPX (my work can end up with me getting water everywhere, so this is a must as well)
- Battery life (preferably able to get through a 6-8 hour shift without charging but not a deal breaker)
And some bonuses which aren’t essential, but would be incredibly beneficial to me: - ANC
- Quick charge
- Either earbud being able to be used on its own
If there exists a model out there that might be more comfortable and check off more of my boxes then the Libratone for <$250, I would buy it today and return these tomorrow in a heartbeat. I appreciate the help!
