Not many details yet, but it looks like A&K are finally releasing a successor to the XB10 similar to Qdelix 5K/FiiO BTR5:

It has a 600 mAh battery, which compares to the others as below:

XB10: 350 mAh
Qdelix: 500 mAh
BTR5: 550 mAh

We can expect aptX HD and LDAC, and Bluetooth 5.2 or later.

I wasn’t happy with my unit and sent it back. The build quality isn’t great as it is made out of plastic and doesn’t feel very durable or premium given the price point.

The device doesn’t have a belt clip or a case. The deal breaker was the unstable app on both iOS and Android and getting an amplified ringtone, while listening to music. Nearly blew my eardrums out
