Drop has released the Drop x Grell TWS1X for $199
Allegedly, there isn’t supposed to be much if anything different over the TWS1 beyond color change.
A few comments from their community manager on Drop for those interested:
New community manager for grell audio here! Good question. The TWS/1 supports Bluetooth 5.2 with the Qualcomm 5141 chipset; Qualcomm has announced Multipoint connectivity for this chipset, but they haven’t implemented it (yet?).
The pre-production units were personally inspected by Axel Grell before sending them to Drop, but there was a firmware update before Drop sent them to reviewers. The release firmware should address this.
Also, I’m looking forward to exploring the SoundID app. This was developed by Sonarworks, but deeply integrated with the grell TWS/1. Instead of an EQ Preset, there is a quiz that is designed to reveal how your ears hear in-ear headphones (because everyone is unique!) and then personalize a tuning profile to you… and then the profile can be saved into the earpieces so they work with any Bluetooth audio source.
Bluetooth codecs supported: AAC, aptX HD, LDAC, LHDC
I love that we’ve just collectively decided new products need waifus. I’d love to see this matriculate up market to the point where the box that $5k+ 2Ch speakers come in have huge anime girls on the side.
Could that “coming soon” font be a hint? The glasses look rather like crinacle’s than dan’s, but that would be 2 collabs back to back for crinacle… possible… but than again… there are rumors about some kind of dan collab…
I‘m pretty much convinced it‘s a Collab with Crin, and it is Project Midnight.
She has his signature glasses, her top says YouTube, and there are lots of FR Graphs in the Background. In Addition, SeeAudio posted hint pictures on their FB Site.
One Picture is of a full moon among clouds, and the other is a time of 00:00:00. The time is quite literally Midnight, and the Moon picture also stands in correlation with Midnight.
Now, what are your Bets. Hybrid? Tribrid? Single DD? Multi BA?
Yeah, that graph in his database is pretty convincing. So doesn’t just do 2 collabs back to back with the Eclipse, but a third one is coming.
I think Crinacle said once in an AMA (after the dawn and dusk had released), that if he does another collab, he would like to do something reasonable budget or something very highend. Of course it could be that this will only remain a wish of his… still I am curious to see what the Midnight and the CRN have to offer.
can you post a graph with the Zex Pro against the C12?
also, a $2600 Ethernet switch with power conditioning for audio streaming…
I think it’s like that poop shaped rock that conditions your room for audio perfection…meaning it’s shit. I come to this conclusion as they say the fact the switch is made out of a solid billet of aluminum and carbon fiber to dampen vibrations that could work their way into your audio signal. >.<
I guess they can undercut the Timeless by spending less on the magnetic carry case! Haha otherwise looks incredibly similar by graphs alone, for sure. My Timeless will come while I’m in the UK, still no idea if I’ll like it for a while.
Topping MX5 (apparently not a Miata) just dropped and it looks pretty damn good for $300. Only complaint I can see having is they could have had a third gain setting at 0db and probably gotten a little more versatility out of the headphone out. I don’t know what happened to having a 0 gain setting but it’s irritating that companies have started to leave that out.
