It drive my HD600 which are 300ohm easly, volume are very very high, I even not max out because It's too loud.

Just want to comment on this one. I have the HD600. It may drive it loud - but it doesn't drive it well. It wasn't designed to. The BTR3 cannot produce enough voltage, and the HD600 needs voltage. The BTR3 is designed for portable earphones / headphones - and IMO does extremely well.

Yeah using HWA LHDC on, volume is only controllable from the BTR3, and the app did warn about that happening,

I'm just wondering whether it'd be permanently that way or will Fiio add the volume control + track playback control function when LHDC is on, later in the future.
Dear friend,

We will report to the engineer for checking about that.
You could try to uninstall the FiiO Music APP and reset the BTR3 to check if it helps?

Best regards

Also Fiio, please change the volume up/down long press to next/prev track please. The way it is now is damn annoying. Who the heck think reversing that is a good choice? The Q5 doesn't do that, right?
Dear friend,

We may not consider about that. It is also designed according to the feedback from most users.

Best regards

Really? Can any other Fiio BTR owner here do a hands up on thinking that reversing the playback control is a good idea?

You have right, but I tested it for few minutes with HD600 and they sounded very good to me and how loud they can be, I was impress how this tiny box can drive them, but I do not compare them side by side with my Xonar STX II.
I bought BTR3 to finally drive HD 599.

The Headfonia review (https://www.headfonia.com/review-fiio-btr3/) pointed out the same flaw:

"Another problem – and one I neglected to mention in my BTR1/uBTR reviews – is the backward physical UI. The plus sign raises volume; contrariwise, a long press tracks to the previous song. The same is the case in reverse for the minus. Plus should never move backward and minus should never move forward. This also applies to the BTR1 and uBTR and will be appended to their reviews."

I don't understand the logic in reversing the controls. Most people would logically associate Plus, Up, Forward and Minus, Down, Back.

I believe it has something to do with the Chinese market; the top button (+) signifies moving up in a list of songs etc (i.e. backwards) and the minus button going "down" in a list.

As Fiio said, it ain't gonna change.. Unless user configurable button short can be added...

Don't Asian markets do things other way to Western countries ? I have no problem pressing down for next track, like skip down to next list item (easy to get used to).

Minus button for next track :dt880smile: FiiO stop listen this "most" users, this is nonsense.
This is like reverse gear to be design to ride to forward, fix this please.
If you think this is correct so why volume is correct :wink:.

Hi Folks,

Is there a option to remove the battery so I can leave this in the car? Any specs on operating temperatures?
From manual:
"Please don't place the device in circumstance of
excessive high/low temperature (above 45℃ or
below 0℃)"

I also wish to know how to open it easly, but here nobody cares about change battery in future and where to buy it to have a replacment :)

Thanks! Guess this isn't for me. 113F is pretty much a car left outside around mid 70s on a sunny day I think.

That's like my wife's Prius which has the gear shifting on the console: Up=reverse, Down=drive forward. What? Hurts my brain every time.

Introducing the B&O H6 wireless. I’ve been using the Bowers and Wilkins PX as my commute headphones. I’ve never really been satisfied with the sound or comfort. When I got them, I did think about trying to convert the H6. I love the H6, it’s the best of many many closebacks I have tried. But the BT receivers didn’t entirely convince me back then.

A few weeks ago I saw the BTR3 introduced in the headfi video and thought it was time to have another go at this. It’s already a huge improvement on the PX. Currently just using an iPhone. Next delivery will be a Sony XZ1 compact, a mid-range android phone capable of both LDAC and APTX HD, which I will use as DAP. Looking forward to maxing our the potential of this rig.

Maybe it’s cheap now but when it came out last year it was billed around 500 bucks,if not more..
I have the “normal” XZ1 and I’m frankly pleased with it,it’s a nice phone and used as a DAP can give some satisfactions..
