Hi,@FiiO, I haven't ordered from FiiO on Aliexpress, maybe you have a better shipping arrangement than other vendors I've used? How long does your free shipping on Aliexpress take to deliver to California for example?
In my experience it takes so long to get things from Aliexpress - unless we opt to pay a huge shipping cost which makes the transaction too costly - can you please stock the BTR5 on Amazon again, that's where I bought my BTR5:
https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-BTR5-384K-Bluetooth5-0-Headphone-Unbalanced/dp/B07ZK3M6XK
Right now it says:
"Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
While the BTR3k on Amazon says:
"In stock on May 28, 2020. Order it now."
Shipping with Prime is so much easier and delivery is so much faster than ordering from AliExpress, can you please allocate more units to Amazon? I'd like to recommend the BTR5 and BTR3k to friends here in the US, but few if any of them will be willing to order from AliEexpress to the US.
Thank you!

Sure did. Can easily hear the difference if using sensitive IEM's.Did you do a blind test on those formats?
What you listening with? Its really noticeable when using my SE846's or K10U's, not if using some standard pack-in earphones or even my old Klipsch X10i (via the BTR5 or previous BTR3 I had).I have, equipment and material dependent, the improvements are there, but it is not night and day.

What about the BTR5 "Sky Edition"? Will any be shipped to Amazon (or?) for US sales? Where is the best place for us to find one?Hi,
We have sent small amount of BTR5 to Amazon last week. So if you would like to get one from Amazon, you may pay attention to the stocks.
Best regards
I have UE700, q-Jays , both very similar and BTR5 - I just ordered a Chord Mojo, awaiting delivery.What you listening with? Its really noticeable when using my SE846's or K10U's, not if using some standard pack-in earphones or even my old Klipsch X10i (via the BTR5 or previous BTR3 I had).
Can even hear the improvement with my Audeze Mobius over LDAC with S10+ vs BT out of the iPhone or PC.
I got my BTR5 at bhphotovideo.com, which is in NYC (if you've never been, the store is quite an experience). Looks like it's currently in stock. Unfortunately, it cost $150 there for some reason.You're notice that the BTR3k will be available May 28th is now missing... are more coming BTR3k's to Amazon soon? When?

Without the protection of FiiO as a seller on Amazon we get scalpers selling into the void left by FiiO, right now there is one (山西童贸易有限公司 - Shanxi Children's Trading Co., Ltd.) - selling the $69 BTR3k @ $107.99:
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Earphone-Headphones-Lossless-Playback/dp/B086JX771S
For buyers here in the US perhaps FiiO could provide enough quantities and stock locally in the US? Not just for BTR3k / BTR5 but other products as well.
Does FiiO USA sell product through other outlets, other than Amazon?
What about the BTR5 "Sky Edition"? Will any be shipped to Amazon (or?) for US sales?
Thanks for the heads up on B&H carrying the BTR5 and not the BTR3k. Last I looked B&H were out of the FiiO M15 (I got my M15 as a bundle from China - Hifigo.com), and B&H were out of the BTR5 and B&H doesn't have a product page for the BTR3k.I got my BTR5 at bhphotovideo.com, which is in NYC (if you've never been, the store is quite an experience). Looks like it's currently in stock. Unfortunately, it cost $150 there for some reason.
I was willing to pay a little more because I like B&H, but it'd be nice if FiiO regulated their prices a little more closely. I can't imagine that B&H would be pleased to know that other retailers have lower prices. All the other FiiO items they stock there seem to be the usual price.
EDIT: just realized you were talking about the BTR3K, which B&H don't appear to have in stock.
Native, domestic price for BTR5 is $80 =)))A retail price is only a suggestion. FiiO could decide not to use distributors who don't adhere to the suggested retail price, but they're playing in a pretty small market and they probably don't have a lot of leverage to enforce the suggested price, especially outside of their native market.
Native where? Links?Native, domestic price for BTR5 is $80 =)))
Not sure what you meant, that the BTR5 is $80USD equivalent on sale in China? Not that I've ever seen, it's always been $109.99 or higher - mostly higher. Link?I assume they mean the prince in China (converted to US dollars)
The correct conversion is 698 CNY ~$98.xx. I misread the BTR5 with some thing else from FiiO.

FiiO is currently selling the BTR5 for $129 on their AliExpress Store (with a case) along with the BTR5 "Sky Edition" for $128.79

Hifigo has dropped their BTR5 (without a case) price to $119.99 - from $149.99 @megabigeye
