Looks good, although frustratingly it should have at least Bluetooth 5.2.

[–] c0ng0pr0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

5.3! KZ gave us 5.2 Bluetooth in 2021.

Seems like a pretty solid updated BTR5. Still enjoying mine though, not looking to upgrade and especially not at anything near $100 or higher.

¥699 = £80~ = $95~

They also announced the JT1, an open back dynamic headphone. No graphs though, and for the price of 80~ USD it's competing against the SHP9500 and 9600 so personally don't have very high hopes for it but we'll see

Will this have USB passthrough like the Qudelix? Since some people also use their dongles for desktop

[–] Aevum1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well,

It's smaller but lc3 or snapdragon sound is missing, it just feels like a cheaper version of the btr7

I hooe it doesnt continue charging when you use it as a dac connected to the pc

[–] antagron1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That was the main factor that I loved about the q5k initially

[–] Christie_Malry69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] topimpanoob@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

[–] jbhatnagar00@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Love the slider they added on the side

[–] Christie_Malry69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

699 yuan without tax thats £79 so an even hundred with tax, yeah getting one definitely

[–] Christie_Malry69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] Christie_Malry69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

aliexpress has it for £92

[–] abnorm77@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why is it cheaper than BTR7? How do they compare?

[–] CavernOW@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I bought a BTR15 last weekend. For some reason when used as a USB DAC the battery would lose an entire 20% of battery the moment I plugged in the fiio OTG cable. And then very quickly would run out of more battery in 20% increments over half an hour until it died. I returned it and ordered a replacement from Amazon customer service. I am hoping I got an extremely defective product and it’s not like this normally. Anyone else having this problem?

since the prices are close, which is better this or dc04 pro?
