[FiiO BTR15/BTR5 2021/BTR5]Bluetooth DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

Nope. Already own my BTR5 for almost a month now and no discoloration is detected. I reckon you can get it to turn yellow if you put it under direct sunlight or UV lamp for an hours or two every days for a week or two, but that's not what normal people will do to their BT adapter. Besides, turning yellow doesn't impact SQ, so what's the big deal there?

It will turn yellow eventually with normal use.
The big deal is the looks, ugly yellow case attached to my chest? no please.

I assure you, it will not turn yellow. And even if it would I don't think anyone would care of what is attached to your chest and what colour it is. And if you use it with Btr5 in it than everyone will be looking at the device and not at the case.

Well, if look is so important to you, I guess there isn't much point for you to be here since I don't think FiiO is going to do a 180 and make any significant change to BTR5.

Both the BTR3 and 5 are gorgeous looking and I don't mind attaching them to my forehand, but that mandatory case? no.

I too like that the clip is removable.
There's already a tiny unit on the market, so the BTR5 having more power at the expense of being a bit bigger broadens our options, which I also like.
Being able to properly push power hungry IEM's and even full size headphones is more in line with what I'd like in this type of product, so I'm definitely happy FIIO went this way.

As for it going yellow, I have had plenty of phone and DAP cases of this type in the past, and only one yellowed, and that was after YEARS, so why assume this one will not stay clear for a loooong time?
And IF it does eventually, just replace it, I bet they won't be expensive!

I am just writing my feedback to them not you.
Stop being protective about it Mr. Lawyer.

Local country prices are related to customs duties, shipping charges, etc.
Prices in different countries are set by local agents based on their actual situation, not set by FiiO, and the law does not allow price control.
We will delete the US$109.99 lable on our website in order to avoid misunderstanding. Thanks for your feedback.

Best regards

I bought a spare one, just in case if I brake my and it's not expensive at all. I like that it is removable it let's me to use my Btr5 with the leather case.

I do like its aesthetics plus its size, seems comfy to have in your pocket as I do with the es100 (btw, have never use its clip)
Also its price seems correct, due its internals @FiiO just needs to keep up with its claims and update ASAP the EQ in flac.
My only worry is how the glass will handle the daily use in my poquet, maybe a super cheap vinyl wrap could help with the scratches
@FiiO remember the vinyls you sell to the X7? Please give us something like that.

I bought a genuine Fiio leather case for my one. Looks great and is excellent quality.

So you're the only one allows to express opinion? I didn't get that memo, sorry about it. I'll shut up for now, Your Honor.
