audio quality of important but, microphone quality is more important. I use my tws mostly for business phone calls, webex, teams calls. sometimes I might be outside and ambient noise is very tricky for tws in general. shure seems to be more pleasing for students,not businessmen.

Sold them and got some Final E1000, which seem very similar if not better in sound, while costing a tenth. Maybe I expected to much, I don't know, but I could not understand all the hype for the Sony's in the slightest

          wireless head/ear phones are to me a totally pointless expensive waste. there is no such thing as lossless audio on any of these things because bluetooth can't handle the data rate so all you get is sloppy 20yr old 192kb variable bit rate (only down in kb never higher) sound. i'll stay with wired, no latency, basically no power cost to the phone and full lossless sound quality all the time.

If you spend $100 on the "no brand cheap trash" for an IEM + TWS adapter or IEM + good DAC, it will kill whatever you have mentioned in terms of audio quality. What you mentioned are good gadgets, but for them audio quality comes secondary. So, I recommend you to actually try those "no brand cheap trash".

Sure it sounds nice, noise cancellation and average mic etc. But the thing is those "trashy" wired QK whatever, KZs, KBears... are just brilliant for the asking price. Like mate, let's face it, your Airpods will last a while, but for how long will its batts gonna die on you? Soon, and for 250-300 bucksies... That's not good eh? So overall, those wired earbuds with good/better mics + bluetooth cable at any price range or a Fiio UTWS3 for only 80 bucks seem to me like a more liable and good budget option rather than the still flawed and expensive tws.

I know there are other affordable earphones that came before the KZ, like the Xiaomis, cheap Sonys. There is just too many.

                                Why didn't they just sell the adaptor separately so people can use them with their headsets? Not everyone wants a pair of entry level Shures.

                                  You get what you pay for , stop buying no brand cheap trash that will cost you more in the long run people.
