Radsone EarStudio ES100

Not sure if this helps others updating to the latest firmware, but aside from making sure the device is powered down and holding the power button before plugging into the usb, I discovered I had to have my laptops bluetooth connection off. Anomaly? Was it always this way? Smooth sailing afterwards.

Infinite shout out to @wslee & Radsone. In some pretty profound ways you changed the way I consume audio. 2018 was a tough one but it's also the year I got my Es100 & AQ Nighthawk. The little things sometimes make all the difference.:beerchug: Happy holidays all

Have... have I been using SBC codec this whole time? I didn't know you could change it! Omg... will the ES100 sound EVEN BETTER on aptX or LDAC? What's everyone's preference? I'm about to do some testing.

The developer options only sets the codec for the current Bluetooth session, and it will reset at the next connection.

Instead, open the phone's Bluetooth settings (Settings > Connections > Bluetooth). It will show a list of paired devices. Tap on the settings for EarStudio (gear icon).


You should see a control to enable/disable LDAC (need to be connected to change the setting).


If it wasn't enabled, a Samsung Galaxy phone will normally default to aptX codec for media connection.

BTW, the Radsone EarStudio app will show you which codec the ES100 is currently using.

Those two items will make any year a lot better!

Definite shoutout to @wslee! Thanks :)

Wish there will be a user selectable option to auto shutdown the ES100 after no input signal is detected for a while. Activating that option will enable to save valuable battery time.

Really enjoying my ES100 (actually ordered the 2nd one)

Anyone here went from xDuoo X3? How do you compare it to EarStudio ES100? I find xDuoo X3 kinda bright.

The X3 is indeed bright sounding. The ES100 has it all over the X3. Better, fuller sound, with a crazy good app to tweak the sound to your delight. I have retired my DAPs in favor of the ES100, including my X3.

My Fiio X5 3gen is also in its box. the ES100 have replaced as a portable amp/dac as it sounds better overall (and with more guts) Still have it attached with a Fiio A5 amp as a semi-portable for my only larger cans i have. Also the phone galaxy s8 or s9+ helps a lot in the interface

I have been looking for an Android widget that is able to set streaming codec and all that from the dev options but no luck so far. Very tired of accessing dev options multiple times a day with my Pixel 2.

If one can dream a little it would be awesome to have play/pause prev/next media controls in the same widget. Also display current playing song and streaming bitrate+original bitrate of the file.
