The Qudelix-5K thread

You know you can shut off the on and off sounds lol...

Agree, surface feeling and connection sound are not the best Also, clip is far from to be handy. Also case corners are expected to be more rounded.

Nevertheless SQ, PEQ and BT stability force me to prefer 5K over the others (have also got BTR3K and BTR5).

I have the BTR3K and one thing that I really like about it is the clear clip case. It means that I can get a new case if the clip breaks, and also that I can orient the BTR3K in it however I like.

Therefore and thusly, the 5K sucks and I will never buy one! Lol just kidding - it's only a matter of time

I use this thing at work clipped to my inside front pocket clip out. Works awesome for me. Sure the buttons are a little clacky and loose but they work. I guess I'm easy to please.

I mean like I said, the sound is what's important, it just threw me how the external package felt a bit... slapdash? I mean heck the thing comes in a little box with no manual, just some instructions on the outside.

Though I admit I really, really like the clip. I've had way too many instances of the BTR5 falling out of a pocket so some extra security is nice lol. As for SQ I can't REALLY tell a difference, but I consider that a good thing because the BTR5 sounds excellent so having equally kickass sound with a clip and better BT range is a winner.

Don't you use this case?

Spoiler: btr5 case,..

I have it but I found it really bulky and awkward, at least for me. And if we're talking cheap, that plastic is no bueno. It's one thing I liked about the ES100 as well. Just a nice metal little clip on it that doesn't add any significant size.

I appreciate your pov. For me, I found the ES100 clip to be okay, but it didn't have much clipping power, and it broke on me pretty easily (off of my belt). The btr3k "clip case" though has has stood up to some pretty good abuse without breaking (and I don't find it bulky).

Anyway, I'll be happily sporting a built in clip again once I get the 5K.

I actually like the 5K clip alot. It is simple, streamlined and it works. Actually really like the overall design and even the sound effects better than the ES100 (never liked the musical tones on that one and cringed everytime I heard). It is not as flashy looking as a BTR5 but I actually prefer the simpler design and, more importantly, it just works and has great functionality. I found the ES100 clip to be too weak and slipped out too easily. I know a lot of people had issues with their EE100 clips breaking off

The simplicity is winning me over a bit, but the lack of a screen is a bit of a stumbling block. In the scheme of things that's a super minor complaint. There's an equal argument to be made that by keeping the physical design as simple as possible they were able to cram better hardware inside.

Not to mention the great app and support!

I guess a screen will almost double device weight and will greatly increase battery consuming.

A screen is rare for this type of device. BTR5 is the only one with a screen in the group review:

I already have an ES100 and have been enjoying it for over 1.5 years now. Looking to get the 5K soon as well. I've had zero problems with the clip on the ES100 because I wear it like a pendant. I wear it around my neck, and clipped to the cable. Like this:

Clever! Also works really well for the microphone (I always found it weird to have a li'l pocket device that has a microphone on it).
