Wish they made a matte glass screen protector.

I use mine wired to an iPhone with an ER4SR on my couch at home. Not exactly a crazy scenario.

The price can still be a problem. I got them on sale for $199, and I traded my old ones in and got $55 for them. So I only really paid $144. Not sure I would have spent $250 on them though.

Sometimes I wish I was able to just have something like the AirPods Pro 2’s and just be happy. When you said “if they were all I had, I’d think they were great” I sometimes wish I was more Audio ignorant. “Ignorance is bliss”, and it would be nice and super convenient to be able to be 100% happy with the convenience of true wireless.
Sometimes even just sitting still on the couch wires are annoying.

Ok. Maybe I didn’t look around enough. This sub seems to mostly be about wired full size headphones or budget wired IEMs and hadn’t noticed too many posts about the new pros.
I’m home sitting on the couch using my AirPods Pro 2 when I could be using my Etymotic ER4SR, or my Focal Elear with Clear pads. I’m not saying the new Pros are up to par with either, but I’m impressed with them regardless, and they have a fun but clear sound to them.
To me true wireless stuff is meant for when I’m out of the house, like out grocery shopping or something. But here I am enjoying them at home on the couch.

You could be right. I’m just impressed with what I’m hearing and think they are a pretty big improvement from the 1st gen.

Yup. This is what I’ve been using since January 2022.

My favorite sub-$500 setup is my Etymotic ER4SR and Qudelix 5K. It might even be my favorite setup overall.

What are “regular” volumes? I’ve had an Elex for 2 and a half years and don’t have any such complaints.

I listen to mostly rock and metal, and most of it isn’t very dynamic. I get what you’re saying but most of the music I listen to definitely doesn’t contain huge swings.

I still never listen at 94Db or over. Most of my music isn’t all that dynamic though. The loudest parts of music I’m listening to still isn’t over 85Db, probably not even over 80Db.

Anything under 1% isn’t a problem. Yea, the APM still somehow pulls off a really good distortion number, but it doesn’t really matter. I have an AirPods Max, and it’s a shame that on IOS there is no way to do a system wide EQ. I’d like them a lot better if there was.

The Clear is still under 1% at 94Db, which is still louder than you should be listening at.

I have an Amazon matte one on my 13Pro right now, but I’m sure a Spigen one if they made one could be better.
