The Qudelix-5K thread

This is probably not the right forum to ask this but, what will be a better value on a tight budget between ES100 and BTR5? Reading specs and reviews is confusing me more than I'd hope for. Aesthetics and all aren't my top priority. I'd prefer something that sounds great and is easy to use. Thanks in advance.

I think you already answered your question. THE ES100 is about 40-50 dollars cheaper. Both sound very good. ES100 has better battery life.

Actually, if you know where to buy, BTR5 can be had for less than $120, making ES100 only about $20~30 cheaper and sometime even less than $10 apart.

I tested out ES100 in an audiophile shop and was moderately satisfied with the quality of a built-in mic, especially when clipped to my jacket.

I wonder whether to wait till the release of Qudelix. Do you think Qudelix-5K is going to bring a big improvement with its MEMS microphone? I do not care with the noise cancellation as much as I do with the quality and clarity of my recorded voice. I wouldn’t like an adapter’s mic to be inferior to the mic built in my flagship phone, Huawei P30 Pro.

I like ES100's 3.5mm output over that of BTR5, but I prefer BTR5's 2.5mm output over that of ES100. Overall, I prefer BTR5 just a little more.

I tested mine in one of these (MP3store). Not looking luxurious, although with friendly staff.
