Everyone with a phone, take note: The specs for the buds say that they support AAC but not aptx. So, you're likely to get decent/good quality sound from an iphone (assuming these buds implemented AAC correctly) but NOT as much from android phones, which typically support aptx but not AAC, as far as I know. Can anyone with an iphone or android (or better, both) comment on sound quality?
Thanks.
My unit has been exhibiting inconsistent sound quality, but I was able to do your test. Walking around the house with the TuneFreqs in and the V10 in my pocket I did experience fairly frequent music dropout. Out of my pocket and left on my desk in a room with the door closed I was able to walk over to the other side of the house without experiencing dropouts until I was at the far wall which is a distance over 33 feet away.
On the iPad, I experienced no music dropouts while walking around the house with it in the messenger bag I usually carry it in . Music dropouts occurred at the same distance as the phone when I left it in the bag behind the same closed door.
Performance was acceptable on the iPad but frustrating on my V10. I wish the sound quality wasn't so inconsistent on these. Hope that answered your questions.
Did you notice a difference in sound quality between the ipad and the V10 (which is what, an android phone by LG?)?
If it can have frequent dropouts while walking around with your phone in your pocket, then it seems to me that it's failing a basic use case.
I certainly wouldn't be pairing these with my Android devices .
UPDATE: I see in this discussion section they say is supports AAC.
