Sabbat got me into the earbud game. I own the E12s. These new ones ain't it chief. For $99, I gotta have ANC and better mics and an app for firmware updates. Appreciate the review but imma pass.

[@kl1wdr]

My thoughts exactly! I love the e12 and e12 ultras (got and love them both) and I had such high hopes for the e16s. Nowadays I don‘t want to buy anything without ANC anymore and I never understood why they can‘t just have a „black matte everything“-version. I don‘t like these flashy and metallic effect-looking colours at all. I will stick to my the Jabra Elite 75t Actives as my daily drivers because they sound absolutely fantastic, have button controls as well (though not as logically usable as the Sabbat‘s), ANC and they stay absolutely solid in my ears.

Great review again Keith. My problem with the e12s was the tips began to slip off the buds eventually and I was never able to find an exact match again. So, the sound was lost. It was a shame because they sounded amazing and they were really comfortable and stayed in well, until the stock tips wore out. I might try these when they become available in Canada.

OH! I will definitely get this! I have both E12 Ultra and X12 Ultra and I'm so in love with Sabbat's design that looks like CIEM. They have a great shape that curves inward and won't squish to ears' tragus. But I found that E12 Ultra is a bit harsh on treble for me, is it even harsher on E16 or it's better now?

Does it take much force to execute a command with the buttons? I like touch controls. Especially since you can lightly touch and you aren’t pushing the bugs into tires ears hardly at all.

I‘m the exact opposite: I can‘t stand touch controls! Buttons are better in every way: - you don‘t accidentically execute a gesture/command when you want to readjust the earbuds - you can wear a beanie in winter and still easily use the buttons - you can wear gloves and still easily use the buttons ...shall I go on? As for the buttons on the Sabbats: I can only speak for the e12 and e12 Ultra‘s and there the buttons are perfect! Very smooth and not at all hard to press.

@@nilskiemle9556 I didn't have these issues but on my original E12 and E12 Ultra had channel imbalance issues. It was especially bad on the original E12 as the left bud was lacking bass. I tried to get an exchange but Aliexpress required I send an audio sample (which was difficult to record) and was unconvinced my product was defective. The E12 Ultra had the same issue but the bass was more balanced, but the left side had too much mids/treble. My fix was to add some of the packaging foam into the brighter-sounding earbud which balanced it out fairly nicely. Since then I've encountered a similar channel imbalance with many different TWS (Tronsmart Onyx Neo, Aufo M1, and 1More ANC). Part of it might be my hearing or the sealing, but there are some earbuds I don't notice it at all...

@@omegavladosovich6757 that's why I don't trust sabbat anymore. Their products are inconsistent. Most are good but large number of released products are also bad.

@@nilskiemle9556 well I don't trust mainstream brand flagships all that much either as they often have some issue the major reviewers overlook.

The Jabra 65t had channel imbalance with the left bud hissing and clipping at higher volumes.
