I don’t know if the q-symphony feature (pairing soundbar with TV speakers) is working or not. Here’s why, when I originally purchased and setup the Q990D with my TV (Samsung S90C) it displayed *TV AND Q Symphony* when changing the volume. After a month or so, I noticed it just shows solely *Q Symphony* when changing the volume. I ran the gamut troubleshooting with a Samsung tech, but we were unable to fix the issue. I’m wondering if there even is an issue because the soundbar is outstanding. Its only because this Q Symphony feature was advertised, do I really care.
I'm not sure why no one asks about, or mentions this. Why can't you go into the Galaxy phone sound settings where there is a system EQ, to have total control over the sound? There is a basic mode, or an advanced one with a graphic equalizer. I use it all the time when I have my phone connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. There is also a setting for Dolby Atmos and other settings as well.
i bought the jbl tune flex like 6 - 7 months ago, and i got the issue with the left earbud, it doesnt charge anymore, like i cant properly connect to the pins in the case, i cleaned, try other things and nothing, it doesnt work. (im impressed that i read a lot of comments and posts about issues with the jbl earbuds, and all got the same issue with the left earbud, not the rigth). Really dissapointed because im huge fan of JBL for the JBL GO products. The tune flex has a very good sound quality, but the issue with the charge is unnaceptable.
The recording quality is surprisingly poor on this one. Even so, it is one of the worst on your website. I wonder whether it is a software problem, where they focused too much on background noise canceling, causing a compromise in the neutral-sounding frequencies, or if it is simply a hardware/design limitation when it comes to integrating a solid microphone into a relatively small enclosure.
@@SG-4u that's good to know, I need to go and check it out as that would potentially be a deal breaker for me to not be able to control what I hear (although I do believe this is very good out of the box)
I'd like to see a review with earbuds with physical, clickable button. These touch sensitive areas are absolutely worthless in colder environments, or if you just need to wear a beanie.
I recommend for you the Jabra Elite 8 Active. It has a silicone cover, and the button clicks nicely under it. The sound quality and fit is also excellent.
Great review! One thing not mentioned for these buds is you can remap EVERY touch input. Next track is 3 taps? Sure! Previous just 1 tap? Why not! Plus, distinct controls for phone calls. Meaning double tap for phone calls is specific to phone calls, even if that same input is, let's say, play/pause for audio. For all earbuds, I would suggest using a third party app that has more eq bands if you really want to fine tune the sound. I personally start by adjusting to the rtings "flat", then play around until the sound suits me.
Hi I just wondering have you use any FIIO IEM yet pls? I am looking at FH3 and FH5s just wondering can you do a comparison video like this one with them please ☺️🙏🏼
We haven't bought and tested any of their products yet unfortunately. But we'll consider it if there's enough user interest! www.rtings.com/review-pipeline
These should have at least 8mm drivers. The 6.5mm drivers sound small when you're outside and using ambient mode. I dont have that issue with my Buds 2 or JBL Live Pro 2 or Free 2. Larger drivers really help with pushing through background noise.
If there are any console gamers here looking into iems save yourself some time and get the simgot ew200 especially if you plan on plugging them straight into your controller the dualsense controller struggles to drive the crin zero’s they run much better on a dac amp but the simgot ew200 are driven with ease much more detail retrieval

very disappointing device, i got them in around january-december and 1 hour ago my left earbud stopped working, some friend recommended for me to remove the mesh but its still impossible for me to even find how to do that. this device is not only expensive but very much a scam. this is my 3rd jbl device and i advise you, please do not buy jbl. its a hurt for your wallet and a disappointment to your ears

I have these. Red is better all around, its tuning is very safe and the ohm adapter gives it the needed bass increase for movies and gaming. It's non-fatiguing. My only complaints are it's huge and sounds a little narrow. You won't get micro details with these but it is a solid use IEM. If sizing is an issue look at the 7hz zero2.
Great review but pity you are veryyyyyy late to the party. If you are going to review stuff ....keep up to date.....just a small suggestion. As for the Zeros....good but very much overtaken by other offerings, especially the Blue which is very outdated.
Oh, god. Recommending the Aria in current year? One of the worst sets I've tried. If you must go for an 80 dollar single dd, ea500lm sounded much better to me.
The industry has moved on, IMO. I didn't like the fit, but the arrti t10 would beat the pants off these for a similar price. Rhapsody from cca is probably better for finding your preferred bass level with tuning switches. But as ever, 100-200 dollars are the best price bracket for chi-fi in terms of value
