    UPDATE: A ton of comments mentioning why I didn't talk about *fogging issue* on the camera lens, that's because I personally never had the issue despite blasting it with the car AC and taking it out on a humid weather. I think if it's a QC issue then the warranty should cover it for you, or you can use silica gels to really dry them out (I've seen a comment where this completely fixes the issue), for now I'll keep the comment updated in case my friend got the camera fogging issue!
    Had to work on Xiaomi 14 first since I needed to give it back to my friend! Up next week will be the POCO X6 Pro and then we'll get back to the already-piling earbuds I have to review 😆

      Hello there, I've been caught up with the fogging issues lately here as the weather has changed to rains. Now it's a mess, whenever i plan to go out to get some good clips it starts this damn issue!
      I had tried heating up with 8k video for hours and 3d mark stress test for hours and after everything, if i go out to test the fogging comes again!
      Now I don't know what to do!

For 2024 what do yout think the best in ear Tws with the same price as Edifier TwS1 pro (back in 2021 its around $40-50) . Did your 2023 reccomendation still applied? Thanks in advance,kenneth

    Hello did you experience lens fogging issues? I live in a tropical country as well but I replicated the issue by taking a 4k/8k video 60/24fps in front of a car AC and room AC. After 2-3 minutes, the lens started to fog. The issue does not occur when camera is not in use, only when you're taking a video it in front of an AC. Let me know if you can replicate it as well.
