The more impressions the merrier!

That looks nice... 2 pin gets no love. -_-

Do you carry both phones on a routine basis? The Samsung will likely support a wider variety of codecs but you might also be perfectly content with AAC on the iPhone... You can actually pair it with either at any time as needed, for audio. It's the app functionality that's set to one device and...

There's a couple recent and well fleshed out reviews on Reddit FWIW. (off preorders)

Mine has been fine on v2... Were those complaints in this thread? I've not seen them, barely saw any comments about 2.01 at all.

Yeah that's by design, the BT connection (now 5.0 as of the latest update) for interacting with the app is independent of the BT connection or profile (2.1/EDR as per A2DP spec) used for audio. You can do it with other hardware combinations and a phone as well, somewhat useful if you use the EQ...

There's some comparisons between the ES100 & BTR3 a bunch of pages back in the thread, seems some people found some differences in tuning (subjective preference one way or the other) and a battery life & signal strength advantage in the ES100's favor...

I can check on this tonight or by this weekend... I think I'd promised to check for someone else before and never got around to it... I've been moving but I finally digged out the transmitter I use for the TV which does support AptX-LL (MEE's) so I could use that to compare the ES100 with the...

Yes, and I was like 14th or something on preorders, I'm guessing there's quite a few out there by now. I haven't had much time for serious listening thru the holidays but I'm glad to have received them quite quickly, only used them out of my CTH so far... Need to hook my Torpedo III back up...

That's a thing of beauty.

Also keep in mind options like over sampling or 2x drive mode will drain it faster, tho I wouldn't expect any combo of options to say cut battery life in half from the max suggested by Radsone. I typically get something closer to 10hr, maybe 8 with balanced mode... Using jitter control but not...

Give it a couple battery cycles and don't rely too much on the app's percentage display to quantify how much longer it'll last, a lot of us have seen a fair bit of variation between what it says and what it actually does (with battery often lasting much longer than you'd expect precisely < 20%)...

Duh, I completely glossed over that part of your post, tho in theory everything said still kinda applies... I can see why it would be a hassle if you're keeping the ES100 under winter clothes (tho for general use a dab of nail polish on one button can help locate them by feel). The app is a...

The ES100 buttons control the internal analog stage volume of the device for better granularity and to keep the source signal optimal. It is recommended you max out the source volume (BT volume on Android phones) to keep the source from lowering bit depth. There's an explanation for much of...

I'll take it over some of that soft touch plastic that some people seem to love too... Sometimes it's hard to imagine how different materials react long term. I've had that rubbery plastic coating get all gunky and sticky on multiple pieces of electronics over the years, including a little...
