The M-TWE touts aptX Bluetooth audio, active noise cancellation (with cVc Echo Cancelling and Noise Suppression for phone calls), and SonorWorks SoundID, a feature that lets you customize sound to your preference, all at a very budget-friendly $130.
A true wireless model, the M-TWE comes with a sturdy charging/carrying case, a soft fabric carrying case, a USB-C charging cable, and assorted ear tips. The charging case has a magnetic clasp plus a spring to hold the lid up—both convenient features that make it easy to use. The earbuds are fastened in their charging ports by magnets, and a small LED inside the case indicates charging status. (Ideally, there would be an LED on the case exterior as well.)
Note to first-time users: The M-TWE comes with small plastic tabs covering its charging terminals and these need to be removed before initial charging. Also, you will need to become familiar with a rather complicated series of flashing LEDs on both the case and the earphones that indicate power modes, pairing and battery status, and charge levels.
The M-TWE’s battery life is impressive. Monolith claims 10 hours of playback time from the earbuds, with an additional 20 hours delivered by the charging case. During my use over a few weeks, I got about seven hours at a reasonable volume level with noise cancellation turned on. A five-minute quick charge gives one hour of playback, and a complete charge requires just under two hours.
The black earbuds themselves are rather nondescript. When first removed from the charging case they power on automatically and enter Bluetooth pairing mode, then turn on noise-cancellation. Touchpad controls on the earbuds let you adjust volume, select a noise cancellation mode, and pause playback, but there isn’t a control to skip tracks.

They are Coming.I Can't Hold Them Back Any Longer.
This is my last communication. Outer walls breached. Door is splintering. Hinges giving way. Out of ammo. Just one grenade left. I'll take as many as I can with me. God have mercy on my soul.
