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
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
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
so that wouldnt fit in it
Wouldn't you just be able to turn the volume down?
@timsandtoms the thing is
since all of in ear things blocks your ear canal
partially or completely
they seal it; blocking ear wax things, etc
And we're back to 20 years ago where we argued closed cups don't give audio time to diffuse?
yeah lol
but i'd say dont think too much about it
