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

Thanks, but none of that solves my problem. Very simply put, how do I invoke Google Assistant using BTR1?

With any earphone, press & holding the middle button will invoke Google Assistant.

Edit : I am using Nokia 8 (stock android 8.1)

I didn't really know that "Google Assistant" existed, but I just tried what you suggested (with a headphone mic), and I see it popping up. Does it function well for you? Assuming it does, I can see how you'd like the BTR1 to invoke it (I'm just not sure how they would do it - maybe three quick presses of the middle button?).

Maybe you can try with the "magic word" as "ok google". You can invoke google without buttons.

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?

Dear friend,

We haven't tested the Xiaomi Box as well. But if it could collect to other Bluetooth headphone or speaker, the BTR1 may be compatible to it as well.

Best regards

Too bad you don't sell cable bundles. I am waiting for 3.5mm <---> mini xlr cable for 1,5 weeks now. The one that comes with headphones is 2 meters long and I only needed 1ft

Fantastic, mounting it onto over the ear headphones is exactly what I'm looking for!

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?

To my ears the aptX via my Sony WM1A is audibly superior to the SBC via my iphone 8. That being said, in the context of the gym and working out, I don't think I would care one bit about that difference.

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 know FiiO made a short mmcx cable for bluetooth adapters - is there any or any plans for a 2-pin version? My three IEM/ear buds all use 2-pin cables (Noble/Audeze/Rose) and it would be nice have that option. I could make my own too I guess.

Dear friend,

Compared with other Bluetooth Codec and the APTX, the BTR1 would provide better sound quanlity when using APTX. As for the promotion for sound quality, it would also depend on the player and headphones you use. Generally, the sound quality is better than plugging in phone headphones directly.

I got this thinking it would be a good low impedance source for sensitive IEMs. Turns out the thing was noisier than a cheap laptop's headphone jack. And lowering the volume to listenable levels also meant bitcrushing the signal, bringing up tons of quantization noise. Just sent it back today.

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?

Dear friend,

Because of the particularity of Bluetooth transmission, the background noise of the current Bluetooth DAC/headphones would be relatively larger.

Therefore, the Bluetooth DAC may not be suitable for the IEMs with particularly high sensitivity. For Android device with non-synchronous volume adjustment from the BTR1, you could try to set the volume of the Android phone to maximum. Then adjust the volume of BTR1 to 6-7 level to see if it helps.

Compared to outher Bluetooth headphones/DAC, the background noise of BTR1 may be better generally.

Best regards

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.
