I love my Tin P1s on the 4.4mm balanced output. I've never seen IEMs that scale so well depending on the source. It seems the way they are tuned is a love it or hate it affair though.

Agreed on the Tin P1's- realism and uncolored but need balanced power to shine.

5ghz, less than 10 feet from the router with excellent signal strength. My R5 says it has build 1.7g and no new firmware is available when I click update.

i had the same issue. when i stopped using 5ghz it worked much better.

My Wi-Fi works fine, but I confess that I can't find where in the menu's the connection speed is displayed or switched.

I know where to find it in my Android 9 phone (5 ghz) But the wi-fi menu on the R5 doesn't list speed.
Where are you guys seeing/controlling this?

i had my wifi setup so that the speed is in the name, that way i always know which one i am connected to.

Well, in that case, since both my phone and the R5 are connecting to the same router can I assume that the R5 is also connecting via 5Ghz?

If so, my R5 seems fine on 5Ghz.
Sorry, I know my response doesn't help you @vessel, but unless some sort of automatic switching/selection is occurring between 2Ghz and 5Ghz then 5Ghz seems to work fine on my R5.
I get great range too, actually very slightly better than my phone!
I'm fairly ignorant of wi-fi lore, so I don't have any suggestions for a fix beyond what bassboysam said.
Good luck getting it to work properly.

Download the Speedtest app and it will show how fast each band is broadcasting.

How do you force 2.4? I could not find that option in the settings.

You can find the wifi frequency in the network info window, click on the SSID in the wireless screen and it should show up. I think my issue is improving, it's gone from failing 5+ times in the space of an hour to 3 times in the past 12 hours. Unfortunately, I've discovered a new problem, this time with the Bluetooth. It connects and then immediately drops the connection in less than a second. Not sure why yet since it doesn't give any kind of an error, I'm going to test it more and see if I can figure out what is going wrong. I'm thinking I may have received a defective R5 but I don't want to believe that because otherwise I'm really loving this thing, it sounds so good.

Best place to buy them? Does it come with stock 4.4mm balanced cable?

it depends on your wifi i think. with mine i can choose which to connect to. once i saw that the 2.4 was working better i made sure to hit "forget" in the wifi settings for the 5ghz. now the r5 does not have the password to connect to the 5ghz.

I have one SSID for both frequencies, it's up to the device to choose.

Ah yes, I see it now, thanks.

Yup definitely 5Ghz.
Interestingly, when I tapped the SSID to open the details, it showed 5Ghz for a split second, then 2.4Ghz for another split second, then back to 5, then stays at 5.

I can't fathom why yours would be changing from very unstable to a lot more stable over time.
Sorry to hear about your bluetooth as well.
I don't think I've actually tried music via BT yet....

......just tried, and although pairing phone and R5 was easy I can't get the BT audio input service to work. it just keeps saying "Waiting for pairing. If you cannot connect, please repair. 0KHz"
On the R5, when I click on my phone in 'paired devices' I get a window offering check-boxes for:
Media audio
Internet access
Contact sharing

But the box for Media audio is greyed out and doesn't allow me to select it.
I also can't select "Internet access" so "contact sharing" is the only box which will accept a check-mark.
Does this description match any of the BT issues you describe?

I feel like my BT issues are possibly user error due to my ignorance of BT, and although the loss of the BT function would not be a deal breaker for me, I can see why it would for others.

I'll keep trying to get the BT to work, and will report back if I can.
If anyone can help us get our BT to work, please let me know where I'm going wrong.

 

[vessel]

That does describe my Bluetooth experience I think. Checking boxes doesn't seem to change anything, and whether I connect from my phone or the R5, it behaves the same where it says it's connected and then immediately drops the connection.

MusicTeck. Great customer service.

Do you have a mesh router? The Netgear Orbi does that and it's maddening.
