    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Editing the EQ via the App (iOS) used to work for me while connected via USB (Phone Mode). App EQ edit also works on my old BTR3k in USB mode. USB mode on iOS seems to be a bit erratic since updating to 3.5, sometimes get no sound unless reboot / switch EQ profiles etc. Will test some more over...

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Just updated my BTR15 to 3.5 firmware and having problems with EQ in wired phone mode. EQ seems to work ok in bluetooth mode but turning on the EQ via app in wired phone mode cuts the sound. Is it something to do with the new bypass eq mode that doesn't seem to be in the mobile app yet? App...

    [FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Had my btr15 a couple of weeks. So far it’s been a nice upgrade from btr3k. Using mostly with FH3, but also experimenting with chi-fi iem collection. Just got update to 2.2 firmware, looks to be a few fixes and extra settings. Unfortunately it seems to have broken saving custom eq’s for me on...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Tempted by the L3Ps, early reviews are a bit mixed suggesting a few issues, call quality, touch control response etc. But spec and price are so tempting and I do have a soft spot for Anker stuff. Pretty happy with my L2Ps, once I got the revised version to fix hiss problem. Been looking at...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Anyone looked at the 1More ComfoBuds Pro yet? I'm fairy happy with my LP2 and wired kz zsx. But still looking for a comfortable wireless IEM with ANC, for use on long haul flights and public transport. Current short list is: Jabra 75t / 85t Anker Air 2 pro Momentum True wireless 2 (expensive)...

    Almi's Logitech Z-5500 Mod (High-End upgrade for the speaker system)

    My z5500 has also developed a noise disturbance. Would describe it as a wind gust / rumble type noise rather than crackling. The noise comes and goes a bit, not identified what triggers it. Seems to be on all channels, not effected by volume control or input. Suspect it could be power supply...

    1MORE Dual Driver ANC Pro Wireless Headphones

    Itching to buy some lightweight (pocket-able) ANC headphones for use on trains and planes (not that i'm travelling much right now). There are a couple of TWS options but I'm a bit put off by cost and possible comfort issues. I do like the neckband style, used to have RHA MA650 which are a...

    Not true wireless but the 1more anc pro is looking interesting. Dual drivers, anc and even supports ldac. https://www.digitaltrends.com/headphone-reviews/1more-dual-driver-anc-review/ £109 on aliexpress now, really tempting me but trying to wait for reviews.

    [FiiO BTR3K] Balanced High-Fidelity Bluetooth Amp(Questionnaire About Upgrading the BTR3K updated in 2023-6-14)

    I'd say its less purple rather than a pure white. If you install / open the fiio control app it shows the current connection codec.

    Blon in ear monitors impressions thread

    Does the original blon cable still fit OK after modding or is the connection lose? Got a 2.5 qdc cable on order for my kz's but would be nice to test out on these. Finding the original blon cable ok though, much nicer than cables kz ship with. Wasn't so keen on the blon's when I first got them...

    [FiiO BTR3K] Balanced High-Fidelity Bluetooth Amp(Questionnaire About Upgrading the BTR3K updated in 2023-6-14)

    Just got my BTR3k :smile_phones: First impressions are it's tiny and feels really high quality. Only tested bluetooth aptx on my Samsung S20 with KZ ZSX over 3.5mm so far but already sounds much cleaner than any other bluetooth adaptor i've tried. Got the Fiio control app installed, lots to...

    [FiiO BTR3K] Balanced High-Fidelity Bluetooth Amp(Questionnaire About Upgrading the BTR3K updated in 2023-6-14)

    Thanks for the review. Just ordered one. Coming from home country (uk) so hopefully will be with me early next week. Been tempted to try a portable amp for a while. No 3.5 port on my new S20 so have greater need now. Fiio seem like a safe bet, btr5 is a bit big and expensive but this looks good...

    Knowledge Zenith (KZ) impressions thread

    I have issue with the ear hooks on the same kz adapter. Found it stays in place better with the cable hanging in front rather than behind my neck. Being meaning to try reshaping them with some heat. Is hair dryier best, not sure how easy to reform the curve? First thought involved hot water...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Finally got my Liberty Pro 2. Build seems great and lovely case, packaging etc. Fit is comfortable although they do stick out of my ears a bit further than I was expecting. Sound seems impressive for TWS although a tad bass heavy (setting eq to flat is better). Could do with a custom eq option...
