Shanling - MTW100

Loved the clarity of the music. I have been following shanling since a few months and when i got know they released a pair of earbuds I immediately contacted headphone zone asking when will these come to their site. Fast forward two months they were in stock! Thanks a lot for bringing these in India. The Tws market in India is kinda getting better now but it will take a time to get to a level where the consumers get a lot of choices for their money but, headphone zone is doing a great job.
Coming to the earphones the sound is great. Great mids and highs are to be expected from a pair of balanced armatures. This is my first pair of balanced armatures and i was ready for less than average bass. Contrary to my expectations the bass is great for a balanced profile. Bass prominent tracks also shine on these. Yes you won't get that low end rumble but they really make a good and tight impact. Definitely not for bass heads but this type of sound profile will not cause sound fatigue and you can listen a lot longer. Talking about the Ambient Mode, i was really excited for that but turns out it's okay hence the title. It favours high frequency sounds s lot more, asked shanling about it they said its for awareness to outside noises like car and stuff. When i turn it on in my office i can hear the keyboards clicks of the person next to me when no music is playing so the microphones are pretty good. Same thing should apply to the call quality right? Nope. I was never expecting a good mic quality from these. The person on the other ends thinks like I'm in small room with a lot of echo and ambient noise. Maybe it could be an issue with my pair idk. The battery life is pretty great and the case is really handy it is comparable to the airpods pro case in size. Yeap! Its damn small and wireless charging works well. Its earbuds last well for my 10-7 job and I don't charge the case for atleast a few days. A well made purchase. I would love to see anker tws in India as well.

I have been checking for the best audiophile sound in wireless truly earbuds but never found anything in the market then I waited for a long period of time. One day HPZ has dropped a mail regarding this Shanling - MTW100 upcoming product on their platform. As soon as I saw the product update on their blog made me interesting in research on this product. Every review on youtube and blogs give the best rating and feedback. So, As soon the product has been available. I add to cart to get delivered. waited just 1 day. HPZ guys are best in delivery time. I give 5/5 in delivery for the HPZ.
Shanling - MTW100 ( Balanced Armature Drivers ) has its own unique style. When you open from the box you feel like "WOW"!. The RED color highly polished with a shiny look. I am sure you will fall in love with this as soon as you open from the cardboard box. In the first 10 to 30 mints, I am in the confusing stage whether I chose the best choice on my requirement. It sounds like low volume and I can't able to judge the sound quality. After that placed back to the charging case and kept charging for 40 mints. Then again I picked up the earbuds and connected to my Apple phone. Then I open the Spotify premium to test the sound. I started searching for A.R Rahman tracks and just tap on play. I started listing the songs and the time going on 1 hour to 2 hours and then again for 3 hours and it went for 4 hours. I am telling you guys, I don't want to take it from my ears. It sounds such a great when you keep adding the hours. It's burning very well and keep giving the best sound output keep on. I really enjoy the sound now with all my favorite tracks. This is the best wireless truly earbuds for Audiophiles. Shanling team came with a great idea to choose our sound. I can't explain from a technical point of view. I can write only about my experience. Thank You HPZ for coming with different brands products and we always are supporting you guys in every time you come with best :) 

Got the Shanling-MTW100 single balanced driver version (Black). The presentation and packaging is awesome and speaks the quality. The earbuds are tiny but lil bit weighty, which in some way is good as it fits well into ears and does not fall off easily. There are 5 different sizes of eartips provided. The extra small ones are really useless though. The wireless earbuds are well built. They work in slave master configuration for stereo effect but can be connected individually with your device. Connectivity is very good with Bluetooth 5.0 and I have not faced any diificulty pairing these with my phone or computer. Connection stability is also very good. No drop of signal noticed within 10-15m range. There is no audio lag observed while playing Hi-res videos. You may enjoy youtube videos, netflix, Amazon prime videos or any other streaming services using these. Now about the sound, I felt it more balanced, bass is present but a tad more would have made it more desirable, mids are very good and to my liking, highs are present but there is some sparkle missing. Those who enjoy little more bass should go with the White ones with dynamic drivers. Battery life is as advertised. Supports SBC and AAC codecs only. APTx support is missing but you get USB-C charging. Overall, a very enjoyable sound, and a quality product by Shanling.

I bought it because of the reviews from so called experts. Nothing was like any of the reviews after I bought the earphones.
Here's what I want all buyers to know
1- it's rediculous over priced for the quality
2- Each so call fake experts who reviewed are either dumb ass or paid by the company
3- Battery backup, is nothing like mentioned
4- Bass/ Chills/ Midtunes/ vocal nothing rates even average ( low quality music)
5- proves again why Chinese should never be trusted

I am writing this review after about a month or so of regular use. Bought Balanced Armature (Black) for Rs. 6499

Build and Form (4/5): Frankly speaking, its not the best. But I don't expect a lot more in this price range either. The outer parts are made of glossy plastic, the insides have a matte texture, which makes it look a little better. The Lid is magnetic and snaps in nicely, although there is a slight wobble. The hinge, though it seems durable, could have been more stable. The Earbuds also span into their charging cups, thanks to the magnets, and won't easily fall out of the case. The buds also have a glossy hard plastic look on the outside, and a satin/rubberized finish on the inside. Ther are however pretty durable and didn't show any scratches even after rough use. The battery indicator LEDs on the inside are poorly made.

Connectivity(4.5/5): I had no connectivity issues across a range of devices, it was always quick and easy. However, there is no button to disconnect the current paring in the box, so perhaps the only way you will connect it to a different device is when you disconnect it from the first device. I faced only minor disturbances when I was surrounded by a lot of devices. The range is also great and should never be an issue in regular use.

Comfort(4.5/5): These fit nicely in the ear. Although it takes time to figure out the best way to position them for the most comfort. The ear tips provided add a great passive noise cancellation. The touch interface is pretty easy to use, it took me no time to get used to them. I don't know why people are booing the ambient sound mode by saying exactly what it's supposed to do. It gives a good awareness of the surrounding.

Sound...oh the sound(7/5): The Balanced Armature drivers are really something. Having used the M50x I thought I would have listed to all the sounds a song had to offer, But these still surprised me with new elements to my favorite songs. I can't explain this any further, one really has to try the Balanced Armature to get an idea. They produce extremely accurate sound, and there's something about it. Its just Love! This is where they surprise you. Outstanding sound for the amount you are paying.

Summing it up, you really can't go wrong with these. I'd highly recommend this, especially to people who would like to rediscover their favorite tracks.

HeadfoneZone is great as always
here is my experience of Shanling - MTW100 black
1. audio quality is great
2. touch control is very poor, most of the times buds don't register touch commands
3. fit really well in-ear, you can go jogging without worrying it falling
4. most disappointing of all is battery life, I think the case does not hold charged battery. buds seem to cover 4.5 hours of usage. I guess mine is defective

It's really power house full with sound and clarity.
Compare to the price range of TWS offered and available in market, shanling is worth every buck you invested compared to competitors.

Pros: IPX7 water resistant
Considerably loud
Clear mids, lows, and crystal highs.
Armature driver as said is balanced.. It's not that bass driven but it gives adequate energy while listening.
Wireless charging.. Pro for me.
Very small compact case...and excellent battery life.
The buds fits very well and doesn't get loose while jogging and daily commutes.

I called gurus here. Headphone gurus and they suggested me to go ahead with the purchase as I was under choice of Shanling Mw100 and Byron BTA. I had BTA already and I cannot forget its taste but these are considerably enough upto the par even if it doesn't has aptx support.

Overall satisfied with the purchase. I am quite a fond of collecting earphones and headphones as each piece sounds different. Look forward to other purchases from headphone zone.

Shanling MTW100 (Knowles Balanced Armature driver) was an experiment as I always prefer wired earphones/headphones to preserve the audio quality. But the experiment worked. This piece of true wireless earbuds is a bang for the buck with its excellent qualities and features. The sound quality is well-rounded and balanced; design and fit are top-notch. If IPX7 water resistance is the icing, the ambient sound transparency feature is the cherry on top.
The cons are battery life and a lack of volume control. Do not expect it to provide 24 hours. You can get a maximum of 5 and a half hours on the earbuds and a little more than 2X charge from the case. But it is more than enough.
If you are planning to order one, do not hesitate. The quality product combined with Headphone Zone's excellent service will provide a pleasant experience to you.

PS: Reviewed after using for a week.

In short- sound quality that will blow your mind along with best in class features provided you give it some burn in time.

Okay now for the people who want a more detailed review, here it goes- out of the box the earbuds didn't sound that great and tbh I was kinda disappointed. The resolution was poor and I even thought of returning it but after reading some reviews online which talked about burning in the earbuds to get the real quality, I decided to give it some time and oh my after the burn in its sound was in a different league all together!!
Sound Quality- The sound is really well balanced with the bass, mids and treble in perfect symphony to give you a sound quality that punches way above its price point(I own a pair of Sennheiser momentum too so yeah I know what I heard). The sound stage is very natural. A lot of people are complaining about low bass but honestly I didn't find it lacking in any way although yes the sub-bass could have been better.
The mids are perfect and the treble is slightly rolled off without losing clarity and makes for a very pleasant listening experience.
Comfort and features- the earbuds themselves are pretty light, comfortable and sound isolation is great although I would recommend a pair of custom tips that go in deeper otherwise there is a chance of it falling off. The power backup is more or less as advertised. The surrounding awareness mode is a handy feature although it's not the best in class but it's fine!
Thanks to Headphone Zone for their awesome service and recommendation. I have earphones from various brands such as Beyerdynamic, RHA, Sony, Sennheiser etc and trust me when I tell you this. You won't regret this purchase!
Happy listening!
