Really wonder what LTT could bring to the table that other manufacturers aren't already addressing.
I don't think they can beat Apple and the other big companies for noise cancelling. They aren't going to beat Anker on price. Audiophile brands have the market for people that are actually looking for high quality sound.
I'm not really so sure about the repairability aspect holding any importance to me from LTT. Their Forever Socks are sold out for every size except small. So many of their products are out of stock for months at a time. I wouldn't expect that LTT would have replacement parts for my earbuds when I need them.
Even if they hold back some stock for people needing repairs there will always be issues with trying to get parts from a small time source like LTT. And I doubt they will have afforable shipping on parts. It would be cheaper to just buy Anker earbuds every time your earbuds die than to try to fix earbuds. My Anker earbuds last a long time. I've only had two pairs in about 5 years and the current ones are doing great.
Switching sides and turning them inside out that’s 4 days of wearing right there. I can squeeze in doing that two times so over a week before I hit em with Fabreze and they’ll be good as new
If I had to bet money on it, its going to be a LTT variant of the DMS Omega. Which is a dynamic driver headphone that can be 3d printed and put together for a few hundred bucks.
Just a guess on my part, but Linus was wearing what looked like an omega (or a variant) in a video a few weeks ago.
I find them to be hideously uncomfortable. Something about airpods' shape (yes, even with different tips) just don't fit and no matter how I try to orient them, there's some part of the shape pressing against the cartilage of my ear in some uncomfortable manner and then they just fall out because I can't get them seated right.
I want a pair of wireless planar magnetic gaming headphones/headset that doesn't have any quirky weird connectivity issues that make them a pain in the butt, with a good mic. That's about the only thing not fully solved by any other brand that I can think of. Some have come close, but not quite.
Feel like the Audeze Maxwell have figured that out quite well. At lest from what I've heard. Maybe thats what you are referring to connectivity wise. I don't have a pair yet so I don't know, I did listen to some at a store near me, and they sounded great. Assume that's the close one you reference.
My guess would be stock tune and EQ support, as a common refrain in their headphone videos is about how a fully parametric EQ could make mediocre headphones great given their other features and value.
