As per FiiO's response, no (although that "sound effect" is pretty cool).

But I think that you can EQ from your source, no? I don't use EQ, but EQ from my S7 phone seems to affect the sound of the BTR1 (although maybe this isn't something that one wants to do).

Yes, smartphone EQ affects the BTR1 sound.
I think you're meaning that, as the BTR1 is a DAC, before an amplifier, the smartphone eq shouldn't affect it.
Probably his equalization is a digital one, BEFORE the DAC.

Mee too would like to be sure that the decodificatione and the amplification of the track are operated only by it. But i think it isn't so.

I made a test: i've made an extreme equalization. After that i've freezed the EQ app. The sound has been the same. I restarted the phone and the sound came back flat.

However, it seems that with flat eq or freezed, music is the same.

Anything new on the BTR3?

THANKS

Is there anyway to change voice prompts/sound effects on/off or just their volume? My Oriveti IEMs are super sensitive and the volume up/down sound is super loud.

Very good products, thank you for providing product reference, the next generation of Bluetooth products will support APTX-HD, but the current BTR1 does not support, just aptX, aptX-LL

Will the next generation also have in-line controls (Play/Pause, Forward, Back)? That would definitely make it worth the wait for me.

Also, will the concerns about volume/noise floor be addressed, do you think?

Question 1: Why are inline controls important for you, when the btr1's controls do the same thing? (just curious)
Question 2: What volume/noise floor concerns? (seems I missed them, and don't have those same concerns)

Didn't realize it was a different thing. So you can play/pause and change tracks with it?

I've read in multiple places that there are inconsistencies with the volume. Like the steps are quite large and it skips two steps in the middle. And from what I've read, there seems to be inconsistencies with the noise floor. Some people get hiss, some don't.

Yes. (edit: but if your cable has inline controls, they won't work)

I've read in multiple places that there are inconsistencies with the volume. Like the steps are quite large and it skips two steps in the middle.

Yes, I think that is correct (fwiw, I have never noticed it, so it's a non-factor for me).

And from what I've read, there seems to be inconsistencies with the noise floor. Some people get hiss, some don't.

Again "fwiw", but I have never heard noise/hiss with the BTR1(whereas I do hear some with my other BT headphones).

In summary, from my perspective (android S7), I have been extremely satisfied with the BTR1. The only thing that I wish it had "more of" was battery life - 8 hours is okay, but I'd like to be able to leave it on all day without worrying about it running out of juice.

Hi Folks,

I ride to work on my motorbike and usually go with my FiiO F3. I have now started carry BTR1. With F3, a Single long press of the middle button will get the the Assistant (Google/Cortana) to call people up or other stuff I want answered.

With BTR1, how do I invoke the Assistant ? A long press will switch off the BTR1...

@FiiO any thoughts ?

Just a quick note on this: there is definitely a pretty noticeable hiss with the BTR1, but my feeling is, keeping in mind I haven't paired more than a handful of IEMs with it, that it is only prevalent with super-sensitive IEMs. I specifically do not like pairing my CA Andromedas with it for this exact reason, but with other IEMs like my JVC FX700's, I don't hear it at all.

Good point. I don't have anything that is really sensitive, which is probably why I've never heard it. But I do hear the hiss a bit with my other bluetooth headphones when paused (you'd think they would eradicate it in devoted bluetooth headphones, but I guess it's easier said than done).

Dear friend,

You could read the following button instruction of the BTR1. Could those meet your need like the f3 do? What's the module name of your player or phone?

Best regards

Would the BTR1 work on an Android TV box (Xiaomi Mi Box 4K), to enable wireless audio through headphones when watching movies? If so, I see a whole new demographic that could be interested in this device.

EDIT: Duh, I guess the only limitation would be the Android box's AptX support, right?

Not an android user myself, but perhaps if not aptX, it could do SBC at the very least??
