Finally a step in the right direction.

How do they sound? You can get a really good pair of wired IEMs for the asking price.

I went over to IEMs a month ago. Bought a solid Bluetooth 5.4 neckband for them, and now I have like 5 pairs of IEMs. BT neckband I can pop open and replace it's battery as well (soldering required but non destructive). They sound a million times better than any of my TWS earbuds or neckbands and they are cheaper. To top it all off, because it's 3 different parts, if something breaks I can replace just it and not have to deal with tossing the whole thing. I wish I had known about them years ago.

They don't support aptX LL, so they are useless for video. The high latency will cause the audio to be very noticeably out of sync with the video.

Sounds nice, though its over double the price of my current ones and the ones only held in place by being wedged inside your ear don't really appeal to me, they can fall out easily. I use over ear ones instead as they allow you to hear a bit more of what is going on around you.

I want them to bring back more buds that are connected to each other, so it's harder to lose them.

Well, they had my attention because I was looking for new earphones, but they are another stupid tailed design one so guess this is a pass.

Why does it seem like nobody can make minimalistic earphones anymore. They all gotta be huge goady "LOOK AT ME WORLD I HAVE EARPHONES IN" style ones. If I wanted the entire world to know that I was wearing something I would wear headphones. The entire point of earphones is to keep them minimalistic in design, but we've lost that along the way.
