    If you’re open to try IEMs the Moondrop Space Travel 2 are insane value for the sound quality they offer.

      The OGs arguably sound better and they’re like 30 bucks. Only last about 3-4 hours on a charge though.

        How did you like bone induction? A friend is looking for something that doesn’t interfere with ear piercings

          It’s weird. As for durability and battery life 10/10. and podcasts or atleast verbal focused audio they’re great for. For music it’s a toss up.

          For normal everyday listening I couldn’t go back. Pausing on ear touch and not closing your ear holes. Not to mention not dealing with a cable.

          There’s definitely an adjustment period where you’re going to hyper fixate on the vibration, but it should pass when within the first few hours.

          I use the aftershokz openrun.

      Intriguing. I hadn’t considered using in ear vs over for home use being viable. Just used to the feel, I guess. Will investigate further. Thanks for the starting point. Still weary of having a non-tethered set, but that’s on me to be more aware.

        I assume they meant the moondrop chu 2 because the space travel 2 are not iems, they are tws.

          I didn’t. There are in ear monitors that are also true wireless stereos as there are overear headphones that are true wireless stereos as well. So tws would be pointless in this context as a distinction.

          The Chu 2 are also great even though some might find the treble a bit much. Space Travel 2 appeal to a broader audience in my opinion and are a safer recommendation. The tws part is just a bonus in addition to the sound quality.
