Shanling leverages over three decade of experience in the audio industry in its true wireless earphones lineup. Today, we examine the MTW300, a carbon nanotubed diaphragm dynamic driver setup designed similarly to IEMs with ergonomics, comfort, and a deliberate audiophile tuning in mind.

Yet Highly Recommended? What do you have to do to fail? Other than to post this question?

Maybe read the conclusion properly? It provides for a listening experience with comfort better than the other TWS earphones tested so far, hence the recommendation. It's not perfect, but better than the others I have experience with.

Exactly what my thoughts were. I have no desire to buy these after reading that and then I see the highly recommended badge. I'm confused.

Actually you guys made me reconsider it. The main thing going on is that I have a big lag time on reviews right now in that I've submitted quite a few things so they get published 2-4 weeks later on average. In that time I have finished testing other items, and the MTW300 certainly was lucky in that regard but won't be deserving of the recommendation soon enough. I was going to wait for the next set of reviews to be published but, since there's clearly enough to persuade me otherwise, I've preemptively updated the conclusion page now. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
