Just like to thank everyone who has given their thoughts as to the pro II vs r6 iii decision. I’m not very good at spending money so either is a big choice for me.
The r6iii at least in the Black Friday prices represents great value, the form factor is appealing, the volume dial is a nice touch and the better battery is a definite bonus as I use streaming probably 60% of the time. From what I’ve read the performance is great too and will no doubt be a fun listening experience. The pro II on the other hand is a bit bigger, battery isn’t so great and it runs warmer, although that could vary unit to unit.
That said, one standout theme has been clear to me from every comment and every review I’ve read. The R6 iii is good, the pro II is better, defies its price range better… some reviewers even suggesting it can compete, at least on sound quality, with DAP’s 4-5 times its price point.
So, this being head-fi, I’ve ordered a pro II. Can’t wait. I’ll no doubt have buyers remorse initially, it’s a lot of money, but hopefully the step up from my little A105 will make it short lasted.
Ordered a balanced cable for my IEM’s too. And a 512gb SD…
