Has anyone tried the BTR3 with devices such as the Fire TV Stick 4K and Apple TV 4, which lack volume controls? I find my BTR3 cannot reach anywhere near adequate volumes with these devices, while my other BT receivers and headphones can, and I think this may be due to the BTR3's unusual independent volume control. Is there any workaround for this, or is the BTR3 just not suitable for those devices? My BTR3 does work fine with my phone and other devices which have volume controls, so I don't think it's broken.

Since yesterday I am having serious problems with Fiio BTR3 and Spotify transmitting on LDAC. It is impossible to use it with the LDAC codec.

I have to go to the Fiio Control App and disable the LDAC and HWA codec in order to use the APTX-HD codec with Spotify. Even with this, it is a ****ing mess, since sometimes there are serious interruptions and bad sound in the transmission (Very high quality - OGG 320 kbps).

I have a Xiaomi Mi8 (MIUI 11 and Android 10), and until yesterday everything was fine with btr3.

What's happening?

Hi,

Please try to clear the pairing record by holding the volume+&- at the same time for 5s and reconnect again?

Best regards

Thank you, I have done what you told me and it has worked well.

But I had to disable the HWA codec (LHDC) which is causing the problem. It sounds bad if they are all activated.

Now with LDAC it works correctly, but it is highly dependent on how close the smartphone is to the Fiio BTR3.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. As a high-definition and high-bit-rate Bluetooth audio codec technology, HWA has the shortest transmission distance and weak anti-interference ability under the same conditions due to its high bandwidth. So there are still many improvement spaces in user experience.
And you could also try LDAC(optimized for connection quality) instead?

Best regards

Anyone know what the battery life of the BTR3 is with AptX-LL? I'm looking at using this for a gaming setup and need something that can last 8 hours. Yes, I know what advertised battery life is running the basic codec. I haven't seen any real world usage with AptX-LL in regard to battery life.

FiiO - when you plan to release EQ for LDAC ?

@FiiO

When will EQ for LDAC become available? Any timelines?

BTW are most people using the Fiio Music app or Fiio Control app to control their Bluetooth devices (most of my music is on Spotify)?

FiiO Control.

@FIiiO - please add battery level indicator under codec in FiiO BTR3 in FiiO apps, same like in BTR5.

Please add finally this EQ for LDAC, how long this will take ?

Thanks for your feedback.

We will try to report your feedback to the product manager for checking first.

Best regards

There is a curious thing that happens to me with the Fiio Btr3. I have read that the Btr3 has a null hiss with very sensitive IEMs.

This is not my case and I experience prominent background noise with IEMs like Shure SE846 or JH Angie. This happens to me both by bluetooth and using the DAC function for my laptop.

I don't know if this happens to someone else, since I have read reviews where the null hiss stands out with sensitive IEMs.

The parasitic noise is noticeable and annoying.

Hi,

You may try to set the volume of your mobilephone/PC to max, and adjust the volume using the BTR3 for help.

That works. Such an easy question which I had not tried.

Thank you.
