I just started having a frustrating problem, hoping someone might have some ideas...

For some reason, I can't connect to my Bluetooth IEM's and earbuds, such as my Jabra 65's, from my R6 Pro. I can pair new things, like some N6 TWS buds and my JH Audio bluetooth cable, but they don't autoconnect and if I turn them on and then click on them in the Bluetooth device list, it doesn't do anything.

Also, I can connect to my wifi network with the Via web browser on the R6 and stream Tidal, when I get an error when I click "Check for updates" in the Wireless Updates screen. The error is:
Network connection failed (Failed to connect to fota5s.xxx.cn/0.0.0.0:443)

I went in to "Reset Options" and did the "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile, & Bluetooth", but that didn't fix the issue. I emailed HiBy support twice but I haven't heard back from them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

are they auto connecting to another device like your phone. I have this issue with some Sony wf/wh-1000xms as they connect to my phone when turned on. They won’t connect to anything else until they are disconnected from my phone

Great question... I turned off the bluetooth on my phone to make sure that wasn't happening...

Thanks

Hi All,

427 pages to trawl through....

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a list of iems that are people consider fine with the 10ohm OI.

I've seen no issues with

ibasso it01
KZ-ZS7
Moondrop KPE

I'm looking to move up and looking around the decent Mid-fi range - that tends to move into multi BA/hybrid territory.
There must be somebody who has a successful pairing? I have a WTB for an ieMatch out there but really would rather just plug in directly without any extras.
I know it's not as straight forward as 'buy high impedance iems' so 1st hand knowledge is the best option.

This could be useful to many other head-fiers over time.

Cheers,

Anyone else moved from the r6 to the r5 or would that be a sidestep at best? Would like something smaller and avoid the impedence issue once and for all. Currently use fibae ciems from custom art but would like to use other c/iems as and when.

Custom Arts Fibae line would be fine with the issue as that is what fibae does. Universal are available as well as customs.

I have the R6 SS and just purchased an R5 because I wanted some more portability for trips and although I can still hear a gap in sound quality from the R6 to the R5, the R5 has me using the R6 less because its excellent to me.

Hi All. I was having a play around earlier, as you do, messing with the line out /spdif into a Fiio Alpen I have.
It was more to do with having an option to solve any issues with high impedance output should it arise - I’ve yet to find it an issue but my eyes are always drawn to shiny things. Man maths tells me if I can use an existing piece of kit then technically I can add that cost onto any prospective purchases.

Anyway. This supplied cable and adapter combo worked.


But clearly it’s not an ideal cable, it’s heavy, thick, long and the adaptor adds a lot of leverage on the ports.
Would anyone be able to advise me on a relatively cheap option that ideally didn’t need the rca adaptor? Just the 4 pole one end to the same other end as on the adaptor in the pic?
Cheers in advance.

Anyone?

I found this on Amazon US but the R6 instruction manual, as poor as it is, suggests I have to use the 4-pole configuration as supplied on the cable. I don’t want to go the USB route if possible as I won’t be able to charge and listen at the same time.

I think it would be easier to ask for IEM's people have an issue with.

I have absolutely no issue with any of mine, surprisingly not even the sony XBA-4, which has an impedance of 8 Ω.

I can heartily recommend the LZ A6 as an upgrade. They have a "loud" button, which increases impedance to 45 Ω when off.
Also, they sound phenomenal.

Sadly my Bluetooth auto-reconnect issue isn't resolved. I was finding my Tranya T3's wouldn't auto-reconnect unless i stopped and restarted Bluetooth on my R6 so i went back to wired IEM's when i'm out and about. I thought it was the Tranya's fault because i was having no issues with Bluetooth reconnecting in my new car. Unfortunately only after a few days the same problem started happening in the car. The only way round the problem seems to be turning off Bluetooth whenever i'm not using it so each time i turn it on to use the R6 in the car it connects fine.

There are no other devices with Bluetooth on within range so it's just flakey Bluetooth on the R6

Who changed the battery in the r6 player ??? tell me where you can buy or share a link to a purchase?

@Joe Bloggs - my R6 has developed a strange issue where it cuts out, as though it is changing track, at the beginning of a song for a second or so. I have tried two Samsung Evo SD cards and the same issue persists. Any ideas?

Hi,

Were there any possible related changes in settings you made before this started happening? Such as addition / removal of sound processing plugins in the app or in the system sound settings?

Hi @Joe Bloggs - no changes at all. It's almost like it's perhaps trying to do something in background. Are they any settings that can cause something like this that should be turned off/on?

As I say, it's happened with two cards now, randomly on different tracks and in different positions so I'm at a loss at the moment.

Hi, i got issue with my R6 when update to 8.1, when it reached 100% not turning green but red and prog_firehorse blah blah

Hi
Did your update process differ from what's described here in any way?
