[FIIO BT11] Portable High-Res Bluetooth Transmitter Is Officially Released!

[spoothi]

Hi @FiiO Willson
How do I know if I am getting AptX adaptive or lossless if they have the same colour? I wanted to make sure that I am actually listening to lossless audio when I am listening with Apple Music on my Sennheiser Momentum 4 TWS.

Will the BT11 have EQ options like creative's BT-W line of adapters?
Creative's adapters just have a simple 10 band EQ, but it is saved to the adapter itself, so it works once setup on any device.

Hello Friend!
You are very good at discoveries, which is great.

Because BT11 uses a standard protocol that is not quite the same as cell phones, there is some learning cost.

It is because of these problems that we are not shipping BT11 at the moment, and it would be better to wait for a firmware update and then ship it in bulk!

We'll do some instructional videos and try to update the firmware to try to make these issues better for users

So when is this becoming available?

Ordered BT-11 on Geekswill on 8/21. Received it today. I use it on Windows 10 PC to run Airpods Pro and Cambridge M100.

I have an iphone 13 Pro Max, waiting for a proper Lightning to USB-C adapter to come, so no settings have been changed via app yet. It's working with factory settings on my computer. A couple impressions:

AirPods Pro: No AAC, so it connects via SBC (blue light). Works fine. Put the Airpods Pro on pairing mode and it connects right away. Subsequent connections is automatic and works fine.

Cambridge M100: Connect with green light (APTX Adaptive/Lossless) yay! Sounds great. I did find a quirk on the BT11. Right after it's powered on, it would be flashing blue light (reconnect). If I open the M100 case, it will connect with blue light (SBC). If I wait a few more seconds until it go back to pairing mode, flashing blue/red, then it will connect with green light.

In both earphones, volume need to have a bit more headroom. I maxed out the volume on windows and music player and it was juuuustt enough. Need to be about 30-50% more headroom for those time you need to head bang. Hopefully FIIO will address this soon!

Which adapter did you order?

"* The pulsing light of the current presale version is constantly on. It will be changed to pulsing via subsequent firmware updates."

Just out curiosity: any chance this will eventually also get LHDC support? Would love to see how it compares with LDAC.

Looking at the plug's length, I think it is long enough to go through a phone case.

What do you folks think?

It will definitely vary case by case. I can imagine cases where that won’t work, and also cases where it will.

@FiiO , @FiiO Willson :
Is this product compatible with a Smart TV (plugged to a USB 2.0 port)? I would like to transmit audio from the TV to my wireless headphones using the aptX Adaptive codec in low latency mode.

I already have a BTA30 transceiver, but it does not support aptX Adaptive. Are FiiO going to refresh the BTA30 Pro with a new transceiver that supports aptX Adaptive?

Thanks

We test some TV, they support!
Like Xiaomi A32,L70M7-EA；TCL 55L2 ； COOL TV 65P3D Max

We didn't test more TVs, and i think if the TV has a standard USB Audio port, it's fine

Hi @FiiO,

Do you consider the BT11 having a strong signal transmission? If so, then I may have an application for this gadget.

Application is as simple as, I do have dropouts with my UTWS5 when walking outdoors and the cell phone being in the pocket. Sometimes I even have to reduce it to SBC protocol in order to avoid these dropouts. Most of the time, it is set to aptX as LDAC is simply impossible to have continuous music under such conditions.

Thanks!

I think so,BT11 does have better transmission than some products

Yes, we made the plug longer on purpose so that it can fit more phone covers
