BTR5 ... The single-ended 3.5mm is however a little bland sounding - not bad per se and definitely better than BTR3, there is however nothing truly remarkable to speak of. For those who only intended to use the 3.5mm output for music listening, BTR5 might not be the best choice value wise.
Hi ClieOS. I just spontaneously ordered the BTR5. Of course, it's possible that I didn't do the appropriate research
before ordering lol (wouldn't be the first time!).
I've was using the ES100 (before it broke), and more recently the Ubtr to get me by (I couldn't wait for the 5K any longer).
Although I do have some balanced headphones and earbuds, most are single sided, and I do tend to listen quite a lot to my single sided gear, so what you said above has me wondering!
To get a feel for how the BTR5 sounds single sided, how would you say it compares to the ES100 single sided?
Reading through your initial posts again, you've got me intrigued with the HiBy W3. How does the BTR5 single sided sound compared to it?
Thanks!
p.s. my apologies if you have answered these questions in here already.
Edit: I just ready your BTR3K impressions. It seems like that maybe should have been the one for me taking into consideration price, size, 3.5mm sound quality etc. Hmm!
