Ordered the Pi8...my best pair are the Nothing Ear. So will be comparing with those. Agree with the sound quality with bluetooth buds are now the option for sound. On par with my Grado over ears/ perhaps better!
Thanks for the great review! In own the denon pearl pro and I cannot agree more there sound is on a whole different level compared to others, I also have the AirPods Pro 2 wich i use for work simply because there noise canceling and ambient sound is really good and the sound is pretty good to and most importantly there comfortable. But they can’t come close to the denons.. I’m eagre to try the pi8’s sometime and also I have heard the new JBL tour pro 3 have come to a new level where they can rival these buds so I also would like to try those sometimes.
As far as sound goes, the PI8 are in a league of their own. The sound filled a whole in my heart that I didn't know I had. Music on all my other buds and music devices doesn't sound right now.
That being said, I returned mine. My problem with the PI8 is The app is finicky oftentimes not connecting and for some reason the buds would never just go in and secure themselves. I would always and constantly have to resecure the buds. I even tried buying the new tips that helped a little bit but it was never a good comfortable fit. And then the sound was inconsistent. When the sound was good it was out of this world but then other times the sound just sounds off. So overall they were too inconsistent for me. And honestly it broke my heart to take those back to the store.
Researched extensively online on what’s currently out there & I’ve got these two beauties & the Gemini 2’s on my final list ie the more expensive end 😮. I have Shokz bone conductor buds for outdoors garden landscaping/gym but want better for focussed listening. Thanks for the contribution & I get the point U favour the Pi8’s. But am intrigued with Denon’s ability to assess how I hear music. Therefore, the Denon will respond differently to each of us as listeners. I cud do with buying both to decide BUT hey! that’s not going to happen. I listen to all genres rock n metal to Mozart/opera & most in between. Difficult one 🤔
The Fiio BT11 goes on sale next Tuesday. I'll be purchasing 1 so I can take advantage of aptX lossless with my Pi8s.
I've tried most of them, including the PerL pros, and i listen for the subbass. I felt like an entrire low octave is missing.
