Hi Fiio! How many sources can the BTR5 remember? I am still wishing for an easy switch between sources like the Apple Airpods can do....

Dear friend,

8 devices.

Best regards

Nice! Does it auto connect with all available sources at the same time or the device that was used last time?

Damn that Battery life seems pretty awful, I thought that 9 Hours was for 2.5

Are the build in microphones isolated from the housing?

That was the most annoying part on the ES100 for me while using the ambient mode on them.
The use of ambient mode while listening to music is a great benefit at work.
But the scratching noise of the housing is odd.

Does the btr5 has similar function with mics?

Thank you for an answer.

Received my BTR5 the other day, ordered through official store on AliExpress ($139.99 + import tax).

Overall really happy with it. Much richer sound than BTR3, although not quite as portable - I had my BTR3 clipped to my belt but the BTR5 with its provided case and clip is far too chunky.

Are there any cases (e.g. silicon or leather like on BTR3) available yet?

Also, re. inline microphone passthrough, is this enabled automatically if I connect a headset with mic? Would be nice to have an option in the menu.

Another request would be passthrough of play / pause button on the BTR5 when connected to a phone or laptop in USB DAC mode.

Good work guys!

Those who already owns the BTR5, note that the firmware has been updated to v1.02.

You can download BTR5's firmware here: https://bbs.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=201910281104318430028&tid=16

If you read Chinese, the firmware upgrade process is explained here: https://bbs.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=201910182344172854175

For those of you who don't read Chinese, here is a rough guide:
1) Download and unzip the filmware file
2) Set the BTR5 into DFU mode: First, turn BTR5 on. Then press and hold the play/pause button for 5 seconds till it goes into 'pairing'mode. Now press and hold both Volume+ and play/pause buttons until the screen went off - your BTR5 should be in DFU mode now, so plug it into the PC now.
3) Inside the unzipped folder, run the FiiOBluetoothDfu.exe, click to start upgrading.
4) If the program shows that it didn't detect any device, you need to unplug your BTR% and repeat step 2.
5) If the program detects your BTR5, follows the instruction to upgrade the firmware.
6) Done. Upplug your BTR5, turn it on and check the setting to see the current version.

Thanks for this. Are there any changelogs available?

v1.01 is just mainly bug-fix and stability improvement

v1.02

2. Headset mic+remote functions added
3. Fixed BT still has sound when USB DAC is in use.
4. Fixed battery display sync issue
5. Fixed random no-output after using WeChat during music playback
6. Optimized volume during communication
7. Other minor optimization.

Good work guys!

Original leather case from Fiio is available, I use it with my one. Inline mic is enable automatically, I can't see option in menu.
Beautiful and great sounding device. I agree, it is bigger than my Btr3, but it doesn't bother me any more.

Nice one, do you know where I can purchase the case? Can't seem to find it...

I bought it from Hifigo, great online store and excellent service.

Thanks, much appreciated. I'll keep an eye on the stock. Looks like it's not currently available...BTR5 works just the same either way

Yes, it seems like they are out of stock. It's really nice and good quality case and it's not expensive. Worth every penny.

Another item I'm looking for is a right-angle OTG, like the Fiio CL06, although USB C to USB C.

Are there any technical restrictions to this (i.e. host function)?

I found a straight option generic on Amazon... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LONPUM4/

Dear friend,

It could connect to 2 devices at the same time. But it could remember 8 sources it was connected to.

Best regards
