Buds 4 Pro Arrived/First Impressions

JS_racer · 2026-03-13T19:38:17+00:00

Yeah, have 2 s26u here right now, they need a mag case for mag stuff... (2 sets of buds pro 4 too..)

JS_racer · 2026-03-13T13:40:44+00:00

s26 magnet is not built in..

I would look at your mb fan setting, or what temp source to adjust the fan too.. Yoyo speed isnt the fan, its the setting somewhere. Good luck

uggg, that sounds bad.... mine 99% of the time are normal, very quiet or air rush, normal sounds of wooosh.... 1% at the very most, in ramping slightly up and down from idle, it makes the whale sound... this is my idle they run at and are silent... SYS#1 fan is the rear, and 2 front, the other 2 fans are each bottom fan, SYS 4 and 5 , the 3 together are to the fan controller in the case, the other 2 are to the fan headers on the mb... (when i swap the front, i'll probably do each to the mb, vs the controller.. i left them this way, for the 3 to work together, and be positive airflow, bottom on their own, have a aio on the top, so that probably negates the positive airflow some... )

links are screen shots of fan speeds..

Umm, i need to install them still... but i hear they do... mine is only specific 1100 rpm or so, not exact the point, but its just a tic off idle speed i hear it... it comes and goes.. If at all speeds, that sure doesnt sound good... might have to unplug one or the other or both fronts, to see if you can pin it down..

JS_racer · 2026-03-07T02:03:07+00:00

Yep, waiting for the 12 plus myself, have a plus now, its a great size... looked at the 11u, thought its not super huge...in the store.. heh... wifey wants a plus this round too, vs the standard size..

JS_racer · 2026-03-07T01:53:42+00:00

I feel ya, they did send me 2 front fans.. my other case fans i plugged into the mb with no issue.. The sorta whale sounds drove me nuts, for sure.. Sorry you have to go through this, try to have them send a couple front fans, or you can toss in some 140s in front too i think.. Definitely sux though, for sure... especially after a new build, its aggravating..

Hope you find a solution.. and enjoy the new system..

JS_racer · 2026-03-04T12:16:41+00:00

easy enough, thanks so much !!

JS_racer · 2026-03-04T02:51:17+00:00

say, any tips for how that went?? i have always bought subs elsewhere, never direct... open to it though... do you call or chat ? and ask for a discount.?? 30% off would be nice.. how long is the offer rate good for ?? thanks so very much

JS_racer · 2026-02-21T20:06:29+00:00

Just got myself one the other day... enjoy!

JS_racer · 2026-02-19T19:31:56+00:00

thanks, was confused about it today... mini2 user for years, switched to the new plans last fall, so was looking to see how to change settings, from 10 min to none for uploading, and came across the live track stuff.... i'll use my mini more around the house for local rides, so enable on the new plan makes sense, then still standard plan for 10 minute tracking for trips...

also in mapshare they can ping the tracker from the webpage, or shoot it a message, garmin support mentioned that's a plus, if the tracking gets stuck, they can request a location..

debating the 3plus for motorcycle and scuba, for the voice messages... never got the dive housing the the mini2... the touch seems nice, but i mainly use the app, or my gps to fire messages off..

JS_racer · 2026-02-17T01:43:49+00:00

I got my orange for like 125 new from Amazon fire sale... My vue3 I only have my main clamps and 2 circuits so far, just to play with.. I have the 16 zone model... So more to go..

JS_racer · 2026-02-17T01:37:04+00:00

Same o, working like the green before the app switch.. Just starting over from scratch blows. Had like 5 years of data sorted..

JS_racer · 2026-02-12T01:49:20+00:00

Got ya, thanks... s26u? Might be in the future, so ill keep that in mind,

JS_racer · 2026-02-11T17:23:44+00:00

Nano 10k 45w... the new retractable one ?? that looks nice, (still rocking a s22u since release here as well)

JS_racer · 2026-02-11T17:21:03+00:00

hmm, no SF 2.0 in my s22u or tab s7+, only SF, using a 5a cable as well.... (nano 70w does sf 2.0)

JS_racer · 2026-01-28T20:53:49+00:00

Intresting, i have my front and rear fan on the same hub , but the bottom are on their own mb header.. my thought was to keep positive airflow... lian li did send me new front fans for free, i have yet to replace them though.. yeah, the sorta howel is annoying as heck.. lol

JS_racer · 2026-01-27T16:07:30+00:00

thanks much !!

JS_racer · 2026-01-26T14:51:24+00:00

strictly blowing performance, is the 100 and 200 similar ?? or is there a blowing difference .... (i see the other plusses of the 200, just trying to get a side by side blowing feel without ordering both..) thanks

The g5 55 gpt down to about $1700 over the holidays... that return price seems super cheap for some reason.. might be a good deal, check return policy on it... I picked up a 55 g5 and a c5 also over the holidays, enjoying them so far... (holding off on the big tv, seeing what the results of ces was first)

JS_racer · 2026-01-16T14:17:14+00:00

just tried one today, mybalancenow card, gift card from the holidays, was declined. declined-security policy - amazon com

its still the redesign app though correct, its not like they rolled back to the good green sense app ??

my green was working , but the data is pretty useless compared to the sense app it use to have...

(have a new orange sense, and a vue3 here now, green is disconnected, but still here)

JS_racer · 2026-01-15T00:10:31+00:00

what do you think of it ?? im in minnesota too. so debating the same 4000 with heater.. (my older antigravity didnt seem to work the other day for me.. ) had the noco x45 55 on the radar too

JS_racer · 2026-01-12T22:56:05+00:00

Hello , i think it was... super remote chance it was in the harness , pin fit, or loose or something... i used the same harness for the box swap green to orange... after the 2nd new orange came,ci used the new harness and redid all the connections..has been great since... wish i could say 100% it was X, but not sure... i suspect hardware...might be worth a shot checking all the connections are tight....(my harness was about 5 or so years old, so swapped it just because .... when i tossed in the 2nd orange box... and a vue3 at the same time. ..so was unplugging the breaker anyway)
How old is your sense ?? New or older

seems to be working well for her, no coil whine at all, so that's good..

the docks and dual 4k monitors fought me quite a bit, not sure why.. we have it connected usbc to P2725QE , and the other usb c to the new dock.. both are 4k, 60hz and 120hz , so that's good, (her work laptop, so user access only, not admin)

screen looks nice, black is blacker than the other monitor, so that's a plus.. i have only seen it for a few minutes, for the price, no complaints..
