I use Sony MDR1000X for video consumption at home and for running/gym I use my old Jaybird X (first gen). Both devices kinda old but still work great! Not a fan of those buds coz I'm pretty sure I'll lose them  QUOTE(wtw0911 @ Feb 24 2019, 02:29 PM) Certain maxis centre only?

Nevertheless, let's wait for their official announcement tomorrow. This post has been edited by attw: Feb 24 2019, 08:42 PM

Thinking to get all in one package like the Airpods but for gym it but the buds design doesn't really blocks out the noise compared to those in-ear. And I commute via train sometimes, wouldn't want to got pushed and Airpods to drop between the gap of the platform (the worst scenario I could think of LOL). Probably will get the 3rd gen for video consumption at home too, tried it and was amazed by it. But for now will prioritize getting a true wireless one cos the microphone of my wireless earphones dragging down and not that comfy too. oh well, decisionssss.

Ya, I tried the AirPods at Apple Orchard Road and wasn't impressed, plus it doesn't really fit my ears that well hence I'm pretty sure it might fall off  Instead, I use my Jaybird with a pair of Comply foam tips and I'm happier with the fit and sound isolation during my workouts. The Sony on the other hand is excellent!  My only gripe about that was the 2nd and 3rd gen one is even better than my 1st gen one and cheaper too! Hahaha...

Hahahahaha... the only thing that keeps pulling me back is the W1 chip in AirPods as I’m using both iPhone and MacBook. So it talks well with one another. Geez, I’m undecided right now. :confused: I’ll give it some thoughts to avoid impulse purchase for now.

By the way, the rumour mill is saying there will be AirPods 2 incoming - probably next month. So best hold on to any purchase till the traditional Apple spring event

Now that Maxis starts offering eSIM for iPhones, I am a looking to switch to a XS Max and dump both my current phones all together (yeah, is a TS but not owner right). but is there a way to run 2 WhatsApp and Telegrams? officially, not the "X" versions?
most importantly need both to be reliable and can backup to icloud or google.

Finally, hahaha. But unfortunately no, you can't run two concurrent messaging apps at the moment coz iOS doesn't support it. QUOTE(dannychen @ Feb 25 2019, 01:08 PM) you are right! updated now. Nice  Are you getting the eSIM then?

IMHO, AirPod is the best Apple product released the past few years. I stopped using my more expensive Bose after I got it. The thing is, it doesn’t fit everyone’s ear, so test it first using the wired earbud included with your phone, if it fits, then AirPod is good to go. It won’t fell off if it fits. I’m taking train everyday as well. If I were you I would wait for AirPod 2.

True should wait for AirPods 2, by that time I could choose AirPods if the 2nd gen is a minor upgrade; saves me some bucks too.
