Hello!
I've downloaded the latest firmware, however, I still find that the microphone quality on phone calls is awful. I finally had to go back to the BTR1, because it does a pretty good job with calls.
Is there any way or are there any plans to improve the Mic quality on the BTR3 or should I go ahead and return it?

I use my btr3 on conference calls all the time and it sounds great. Maybe you got a defective one?

Weird. I have good call quality on mine.

Maybe its the connection protocol or cell quality?

Dear friend,

The BTR3 is equipped with Qualcomm's cVc noise cancellation technology and automatic gain control. If you are in a louder noise environment(or the BTR3 is too far away, the mic is blocked) , the gain will be increased which may lead to distortion.
You could try to hold the BTR3 and keep close to the microphone for try again.
Our engineers are also trying to improve the microphone quality for the BTR3.

Best regards

Guys I'm observing something I wanna clarify. Any help is appreciated.
I'm using the BTR3 as a USB DAC on my laptop and when I try my HD 660s, the sound is understandably not that great/dynamic and I hear pops and clicks in the music (16 bit wav files).
It drives my M50x quite well and the sound is much improved in every sense than my laptop's output.It gets quite loud too.

The weird thing is that I hear the same pops/clicks in the M50x as well but to a much lesser degree than the 660s. And its NOT the files.
I understand that the power output on this is best suited for IEM's and also that the M50x's are not the most efficient headphones around as may be suggested by the rated ohms.

I guess I want to know if this behaviour is due to the amp clipping (it seems like it is) and if I'll damage anything (BTR3 or headphones) if I use it like this for some time?
I am planning on getting an amp in the near future (most probably Fiio A5).

In car use scenario, can BTR3 power up when the car starts and power off when the car stops? Is it possible? (Connected to the USB port of the car for charging)
Dear friend,

No, it is not supported by the BTR3.

Best regards

How about just give us the damn EQ......as it was advertised to have!
Dear friend,

Our engineers will try their best to add EQ for BTR3 in the FiiO Music as soon as possible.

Best regards

Dear Fiio, can you also ask your engineers to make one important improvement?

Now with single device connection mode a double short-click of a "Power" button works like Play/Pause, it mapped as consistency:
code 127 (KEYCODE_MEDIA_PAUSE)
code 126 (KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY)

And it is completely useless for this button assignment in single device connection mode.

It will be very good and correctly to assign this "Power" button to the following:

single short-click of a "Power" button - code 87 (KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT)
double short-click of a "Power" button - code 88 (KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS)

Then it would be very convenient to control the switching of tracks, holding BTR3 in hand with a cable hanging down from the fist.

If the doubleclick cannot be changed due to compatibility with multiconnection mode, then at least one single short-click assignment for KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT can greatly improve usability.

Who agree, join the request!

Dear friend,

For Switching the music files, you could hold the volume button for about 2s instead.
We could try to report your feedback to our engineer. But we may not add your design in the BTR3 currently.

Best regards

Thank you for your prompt reply. I know about hold the volume button for about 2s, and I use it all the time. But it is not convenient to do this when the receiver is in the hand and in the pocket of the jacket. I asked not to change the existing key layout, but simply add one additional command for the Power button short-click. I hope you understood this correctly :)
This mapping could also be activated by the checkbox in FiiO Music app.

Hi,

Does it work with headset remote (volume, start stop + microphone)?

I updated the firmware, but the music app can still not find the unit, any ideas? Should I restart the phone? I’ve restarted the BTR3 many times.

I’m very happy with the unit, but the microphone is not performing very well. I tried using it in my car today and I had to resort to speaker phone. From what I read this is not expected?

This question might’ve been asked, sorry!
