Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I currently own the AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM3, and the Powerbeats Pro. The sound quality of these TW2's was good, and the build quality and finish felt up to par as well. It sat in my ears comfortably, with no fatigue. Soundstage felt large, and I could pick out details better than on my AirPods Pro. Bass was acceptable but nothing to write home about (the Powerbeats Pro and Sony's were punchier and you could "feel" the rumble better, especially the PBP). I should also note that there was a light "white noise" when nothing was playing (the AirPods Pro and Sony's also have active ANC, but no such white noise), but this did not bother me too much (your milage may vary). However, there is a *significant* delay in audio. When watching a YouTube video, the speaker and the audio are visibly out of sync. Using an audio delay test, these earbuds seem to have almost 300 ms (3/10ths of a second) of delay. My AirPods Pro, Sony WF-1000XM3, and Powerbeats Pro all had unnoticable levels of delay (to my ears). This was tested on a 2019 Macbook Pro running Catalina. For the staggering $300 price tag, this is completely unacceptable. I believe the main reason behind this is that these TW2's are still on a master-slave setup, whereas the other 3 wireless earbuds all maintain 2 separate Bluetooth connections to the source. With any of the other 3, I can put my right earbud back into its case and continue to listen from only the left. However, with these TW2's, the left earbud (slave) will lose connection once the right earbud (master) is put into the case. This type of pairing is inferior, and leads to a much larger delay (presumably because the slave has to wait for the master to transmit data to it).
