Radsone EarStudio ES100

Just got one of these from massdrop. I thnk it sounds very slightly better than the BTR3 but has a number of annoying features. It powers on if you plug it in to charge? It also powers onif you unplug it from charge?
Is that normal?

 

Yes, it is normal and I find it annoying as well. There are some power options in the app (tap on the battery status) but none of them do exactly what I want, which is basic manual power operation with nothing automatic.

 

You can control that behavior in the app.

 

How about the welcome/good bye music. Anyone know if there's a way to lower the volume on that? Just a liiiittle piercing!!

 

@Shakey27 There is a slider just for that in Misc Control > Tone Volume
(Adjust tone volume level of local playback sounds, including power on/off, connected etc.)

 

seems like the Sony MH755 with it's short cable was made for this thing
Anyone try that combo?

 

I was wondering Is there on the market any other Bluetooth product that is similar or outperforming the es100 in terms of sound quality but being as portable as it is

 

Ahhh, yes. Knew it had to be something simple. Enjoying this very much so far. Ambient sound feature is really cool. Thank you!

 

Some similar devices would be FiiO BTR3, BTR5, BTR1K, SHANLING UP2, and the upcoming Qudelix 5K.

 

I just unpacked the earstudio es 100. Now I charge the battery for the first time. the led is flashing red and green. How do you recognize when the battery is fully charged?

 

Either in the app, or when it stops switching between red and green and just shows pulsing green.

 

Any idea what this thing will do at 62ohms on the 3.5mm jack?

 

It will playback music

 

That's low impedance. The ES100 (and most amplifiers) will drive it with more than adequate power.

 

But it's a Q701 I had in mind....
