I don't have any sensitive IEMs to try it out with, but I am surprised by this. Any other sensitive IEM BTR1 users out there? If so, what are your experiences?

As mentioned previously, definitely a no-go for me with my Andromedas; fortunately I have other, not-very-sensitive IEMs to use it with, but if I only had the Andros, I probably would also have sent it back.

I agree with this. That said, the BTR1 sounds better than most other lower end BT adapters even on SBC in my opinion and I have several $25 and less BT adapters.

I have a xiaomi bluetooth receiver, often paired with iphone x. it is for 18 usd. I can say that it is a bit behind, compared to cable solution by the same iem(it supports AAC codec as well as many others). I had a look at reviews of all bt recievers here. Noone has asserted that any BT reciever except Q5 produces the same SQ as you can get by cable. Moreover, i think xiaomi beats all of its counterparts when it comes to range of connection (absolutely no problem up to 10 meters) .

However, i am waiting for BTR3. OHH Fiio! give us a lightweight beast with Dual DAC by AKM, BT5, 2.5 balanced output, good battery life and a good antenna. Otherwise, i am going to start a campaign on Kickstarter, LOL.

I've been curious about the Radsone Earstudio ES100. It has dual DACs by AKM, 2.5mm balanced output, good battery (according to reviews). Not sure why you want Bluetooth 5.

It's even been funded on Kickstarter!

Yeah, it was tempting until they wanted 100 usd on amazon which is almost two times of one on Kickstarter. I think it is not worth to buy such receiver with oldie DAC for 100 bucks.

It's getting pretty great reviews though. So another way of looking at it is, is it worth $30 more than the btr1?

 

[FiiO]

Non-synchronous volume control? Is that an option in the BTR1 that I wasn't aware of? I don't think there is such an option on most Android phones.

Dear friend,

That means that you could adjust the volume in your Android phone and the volume from BTR1 dividually.

Best regards

Let me think about it again, then LOL...

I understand this what you mean by "non-synchronous volume control". My question is whether this is a feature of the BTR1 (if so, how to enable?) or of the Android device. I don't think I'm able to set the volume separately on my Google Pixel.

Dear friend,

The engineer told us that the mobilephone you mentioned does not support the non-synchronous volume control for the BTR1 because of the Bluetooth protocol of your phone.

Best regards

Just got the BTR1, it sounds great with xiaomi Mi6 and Sennheiser MX985.
Impressive for audio via Bluetooth.

Hello.
I want buy BTR1 for the gym, but my Meizu M3 Note don't support aptx.
Can U say does the sound will worse than with aptx?

I have a Nokia 8 which yet doesn't support aptx. But frankly, outside my house, I don't care for quality because the ambient noise from traffic (on the move) and the music blaring in the gym is just too much.

I take out my fine audio gear only indoors.

Question:
Can I connect this to my smart televisions via bluetooth?
I have a few headphones and earphones, and thought I'll get this rather than buying a new bluetooth headset.

Works well with my 1 year old LG

Decided to toy around with the btr1. It's now tethered to an ifi ican nano. Been pairing it with my galaxy s8 running poweramp. Have to say I'm really impressed with the sound quality of the bluetooth connection.

 

[grogg]

Have we had any news about a timeline for the release of the BTR3?
