I am delighted by how good these devices are. I was a little skeptical before I used it, when it paired straight away to my Sony Xperia phone using LDAC I was very impressed. The device maintains a stable connection all day and sounds great. I used my AKG K550 with it and they were plenty loud at about 60%. If I had no idea how much it cost and was allowed to try it out for a few days I would assume it cost a lot more than it actually does. The excellent Fiio Control app is easy to use and allows you to get the most from the device. The device allows me to use a wider range of headphones without the nuisance of a wire going from my ears to my phone or player.

I've been using the BTR3 for quite a while, and I got the BTR5 as soon as it came out. The BTR5 is incredibly good. I paired it with the FiiO LC.2.5BS cable too, 40cm long with MMCX connectors for IEM's that have those. End result, a headset usable to talk with, and ludicrously good audio for music.

I've had the BTR5 for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier with it, it truly will surprise you on the number of headphones it can drive with ease. One of my favorite use cases is hooking it up with IEM's, no more dongle life and it certainly can push IEM's to their full potential with excellent sound quality.

They are my go to for high quality portable audio.

I know this is an old video but I am getting the FiiO btr5 to use with the iPod touch 7th gen. I will be using a balanced cable, 2.5mm to connect the btr5 to a set of FiiO FH7 iems. Couple of questions I have. If you can answer me that would be great if not I understand. 1st question, if I want to run wired from the iPod touch 7 to the FiiO btr5 will any lightning to usb-c cable work or do I need a specific cable? 2nd question, the iPod touch 7 has Bluetooth 4.1 and the FiiO has 5.0. How does that sort out? I mean if I want LDAC quality with my Flac files stored on my iPod touch 7 will I be able to get the highest quality I can from the Flac file by using a wired connection? Also, when just using Bluetooth to connect the iPod to the btr5 which codec is working Bluetooth 4.1 or 5.0? I hope you see this post and can help me out. If you can, thank you in advance!

@drfappingston
@drfappingston 3 жыл бұрын
Though the DAC chip may be the same, there are a slew of other components in the BTR5 that serve to increase the sound quality and reduce any unwanted noise or distortion, also utilizing top of the line Bluetooth components I'd imagine there wouldn't be much to compare... Granted, I don't have any experience with the LG G8X. The BTR5 has 2 DACs, whereas I assume the LG only has one. On it's own, that's not a huge deal given that only 1 of the 2 chips is used with the the 3.5mm port on the BTR5, the second remains idle unless you're using a 2.5mm balanced connection. The amps power delivery on either is very impressive for the size, price and convenience of the BTR5. Manually adjustable high and low gain settings, I've seen numerous reports around of people having no issue running higher impedance headphones through the Fiio... Especially considering you're getting (nearly?) twice the power output with a balanced connection, but I do not have anything that requires more power than the 3.5mm on high gain can provide... All my IEMs are on 3.5mm low gain, generally around 30/60 volume. I did buy a balanced IEM cable to try with my Moondrop Starfields, and during the brief testing that I did, I couldn't tell any appreciable difference in sound quality-- I am certainly no expert though, nor are my IEMs top of the line. My Sennheiser HD599s are sufficient around 50-60/60 on low gain, but can get ridiculously loud on high gain. Granted, the HD599s aren't super difficult to run. They can be used with a smartphone 3.5mm, but they're pretty quiet at max volume. I hope that helps you in some way... I am absolutely impressed with all that the BTR5 offers and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in higher quality audio. At the price point (and honestly beyond), I couldn't imagine getting much more in one package.

It is possible to plug this into my PC via USB and then pair a Sony WH-1000XM3 headset using LDAC codec to listen to the PC audio? My PC doesn't support LDAC or any othe newer BT codecs, the sound it's pretty bad, so on top of the portability factor of the BTR5, I would like to know if it's possible to use it to enhance/replace the BT interface on the computer too, thank you.

So can I connect it to my smartphone that only support SBC codec via USB, and get aptx HD bluetooth for my headphone or will I be bottlenecked by my smartphone ? If I put it in bluetooth connection (smartphone - fiio) then connect my headphone in bluetooth to the fiio, will I be in SBC quality ? Thanks all !

If your phone can't send aptx then this won't receive aptx.

Hey Juan, are you able to disable the inbuilt mic on the fiio, either on the device or in android settings itself? I plan to use this in the car into my aux port (no Bluetooth in car, switching to pixel 7) but it won't be in a great position for voice calls, so I want calls to use my phone mics. Can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere!

It would be one of my top picks to try. If it's not enough, you could also look at an amp paired with this, but that'll start getting bulky and pricy.

Mine goes everywhere with me. It's a USB DAC connected to my PC at home when I'm browsing the internet, watching KZbin or listening to music... When I get in the car, it's connected via Bluetooth to my phone and 3.5mm into the aux port on the car... Then when I go into work, it gets slipped into my pocket and my IEMs connected to it streaming BT from my phone. It's seamless to transition, super portable and hassle-free. It sounds great, and has plenty of power through Bluetooth and as Juan said, everything gets even better when it's plugged into the source with USB. The vast majority of tech think of audio as an afterthought, the vast majority of dedicated sound cards for PCs aren't even as good as a purpose-built budget DAC... Not to mention they don't supply nearly as much power to drive headphones in most cases. The BTR5, in my opinion, is pretty much no brainer for any application.

I can't tell if this video has answered my question. Will it work with wireless earbuds? Everything I see looks like it's connected directly into the earbuds. Look, I just have a Motorola phone, with WIRELESS Beats earbuds. The booster app that I got is still not loud enough for my liking. Is there something that will connect to my phone, and then send a wireless signal to my chargeable wireless earbuds, making them louder?

Do the new version sennheiser hd 280 pro review. The passive noise isolation in that is exemplary. Hd280 pro and btr5 would be a great travel companion with with way better audio quality than flagship ANC cans at 2/3rd the price. 😁
