did but i only expect "sorry"

@lidl papi i'm always courteous enough, sometimes they issue partial refunds

What's TWS vs normal wireless earbuds?

@timsandtoms tws are completely wireless

i mean theres no wire at all, on your shoulders, etc

this is also wireless

this is wireless as well but tws

Ahh. I only started seeing the term in comman parlance recently, long after tws because popular, so I wasn't sure if it was something new, or just codifying what we already had. Thanks for the info.

npnp

Any real advantage to wireless vs tws? I'm assuming bit harder to lose, easier to damage, possibly better battery life or reception?

tws is more compact, suitable for sports, running, etc

other ones are mostly for like iems

they are called bluetooth modules

i'd say they mostly have better sound quality than tws' and longer battery life

but depends on your iem, module, etc

Gonna push my luck here on asking y'all instead of just Googling, are all of these iem, or is there something specific to qualify as an iem?

iem stands for in ear monitor

this is an iem for example

But monitor vs just normal earpods/earbuds?

iems fill your ear canal

and fit better

and make you deaf sooner

:c

really

well probably not much more than normal earbuds, which are already terrible

Ahh, just the shape then, which I assume helps block outside sound and provide better audio, and gives us a chance to argue about bs like if it should be diffused or jammed straight into my eardrum?

zoomers are all going to be deaf by age 40

yeah, something like that but still it doesnt jams straight to the eardrum

@sb057 those are the only options we have tho

i dont want to go outside with a full sized headphone

so you value fashion over hearing

its also about size

i mostly use a postman bag
