FiiO BTR1K HiFi Headphone AMP/DAC Bluetooth Receiver

So you just got your new expensive phone but it doesn't have a headphone jack?No problem this little nifty device got you covered.Also if you already have a earphone and don't want to purchase a bluetooth earphone/headphone then this is a perfect device.Pros -1. Build quality - It's made of metal and the size is also small to fit inside pockets.2. Supports aptX LL - By using this tech there is no lag in sound while playing PUBG/CODM. Yay!3. USB Dac - You can use it as a sound card for your laptop. My laptop's 3.5mm jack stopped functioning and Now i just use this for a better quality audio.4. It's a future investment - If you purchase a better headphone/earphone then you can be assured that this little baby will be able to power it up.5. It's USB C - Yay! one less cable to carry around. Also it has NFC to quickly pair with a new device.6. Sound quality - Almost forgot about this one. Yes it has good sound quality. You'll be able to hear a more detailed audio.Cons -1. I am just nitpicking but the battery life could be improved even further.2. Is a bit pricey but compared to the prices of good bluetooth earphones it's cheaper to get this and use your old earphones.So in conclusion add it to your wishlist and when there is a discount just buy this little boi.

Just go for it if you are looking at bluetooth headset for upto INR 15k. No competition here!!!! This Smokes them all!Battery - upto 6 hours, tested!Audio quality - depends on the headphone you use! This is just an amplifier for Bluetooth/USB.Amazing with any phone that have Snapdragon 600 series and above chip (average with Kirin and Mediatek). Using as a USB DAC, it sounds much better than motherboard built in Realtek audio.I use this with the cheapo JBL C100SI (which is much better than Sen CX180).Compared to Skullcandy Indy TW vs AirPods vs Sennheiser CX 6.00BT/7.00BT vs Skullcandy Method Wireless, the BTR1K smokes them all.If you are an iPhone user (tested on iP XS), get the AirPod instead, Apple cripples intentionally to ensure people stick to Apple products. All the mentioned above sucks on Apple, except for the AirPods - volume, audio quality: Fidelity, bass, mids & treble.Note: This device "forced" increased soundstage (eg., in Android music player, there is an option among equalizer to increase stereo/3D expansion) because of which there is a slight increase in treble harshness and decrease in fidelity (the solidness/crispiness/clarity whatever you called). But this happens only if you play low quality files - like those super compressed ones, or YouTube converted ones. If you play proper CD ripped files - 192/224/320 Kbps 41KHz etc., it's amazing, no degradation in audio quality. Also, once you tweaked in equalizer to you liking, this things is simply amazing, nothing came close in this price range, just get it!

Somehow I expected it to be the size of a finger and at least 2 fingers wide, it was surprisingly small, like a medium-sized Staedler eraser. Quite light-weight too. After a day of usage, here are my experiential notes:1) Connected with Asus and One Plus phones and Lenovo laptop quickly enough. Twice it had a small glitch - on the very first connection with the One Plus and laptop, the audio was barely audible (with full volume on the devices as well as the BTR1K). After manually disconnecting and connecting again, the volume came back to normal. Not sure what happened, but it seemed to have happened only on the very first connection with the phone/laptop. Hope this does not happen again.2) It connects nicely with the aptX connection. Both the laptop and the phone show the charge available in BTR1K, which is awesome.3) Sound quality is great, though I have only tried it with my collection on SoundCloud. When connected with a laptop via USB, I was able to use it as an external sound cloud, which was awesome too. Whether through bluetooth or a USB connection, the BTR1K appears both as a sound output (speaker) and sound input (microphone) device). I think I am going to find it quite useful for my tele-conferences!4) Its a tiny device, and I don't see it being able to drive my current Senn HD600 so well (they sound somewhat muted). Though I haven't tried it yet, I am sure ATH M50X will be easy to drive for this.5) It has ZERO screws, which is nice aesthetically, but I would have liked to see some, to be satisfied I have access to the built-in battery when I need to change it (if I find a spare for that, that is).6) It has a clip at the back, which works well on shirts. But the gap in the clip is just about an inch, so it doesn't hold on to the wider Senn HD600 metal band, and keeps slipping out. I would have liked it to be fixed on my headphone, rather than hang on my shirt, just makes the headphone extremely portable, and perhaps make it look like a geeky contraption too!Its a pretty little device, and quite functional too. Even though I got it for a discount, I don't think it still justifies the price. I guess the manufacturer has to make some money in trend of newer phones removing 3.5mm jacks.All in all, a good product and worth buying, if you have a good pair of wired headphones and want to make them compatible with newer phones.

Very expensive for what it does, its just a bluetooth receiver with a builtin battery. A user-changeable AAA battery design would have been perfect, but these manufacturers want us to buy new when battery eventually dies out, thus continuing their business. The unit is temperamental too, hangs sometimes, and with no screen and no indication, it gets frustrating. Long press to reset in such times is a bit of a hit-and-miss. Have no issues with sound quality, and builtin mic works great too.

This is a review for the FiiO BTR1K. I never much liked how different products would get lumped on the same page with the shared reviews between them. But I understand why the makers of the product would do it this way.The FiiO BTR1K is just amazing. Its harder and harder to find phones with a headphone jack on it. And even harder to find good bluetooth headphones. Especially of the True Wireless variety. It will give your headphones the power they need to sound great while being small and easy to carry with you.I was absolutely shocked by how small and light this thing was. The pictures dont give it justice. It would fit inside of a match box. The organizers and cases for my earbuds are bigger than this thing is. The clamp is strong and attaches quite nicely to anything i want to clamp it to.And the features. So many features.-Just about every codec you can think of with 5.0 bluetooth.-Range is good.-Battery life is a bit small at 8 hours, but its so tiny because of it.-No fuss connecting via usb to use as a DAC for other devices.-It seamlessly pairs with 2 devices at once, switching between them seamlessly.-The dual pairing even works while your have it connected via usb to use as a DAC.-USB C so its nice and modern with an easy charging port.-Mic is pretty good, if maybe a bit loud. But a lot better than most bluetooth headphone/headset options.-The lanyard is a surprisingly nice featureThere are maybe a few cons though...-Not quite up there with some of the much more expensive bluetooth amps. (But honestly for the cost its simply amazing.)-No equalizer options. Instead you would need to rely on equalizer from the source device which for phones is usually bad.-The small size makes the classic wrapping your headpones around the device, a bit more difficult.-The lanyard doesnt come with any method of adjusting, so you cant change the height it hangs from your neck. (Easily rectified but figured i would mention it.)-There is sometimes a loud cracking noise when you skip tracks. Varies between headphones.-Volume down is skip forward and volume up is skip back. (Honestly i think this was done to prevent people from accidentally blasting their ears out when they go to skip tracks. So maybe a pro if you really think about it.)Honestly, if you are the kind of consumer who likes good sound, has decent headphones or earbuds, and cant really find that good pair of bluetooth ones or dont want to, this little guy is just for you. The sound is amazing, its incredibly small and portable, and it is just packed with features for such a tiny, inexpensive device.TBH, a must have for any audiophile looking to delve a little into the bluetooth territory.

Me sorprendió la calidad de sonido, para ser BT es muy buena. Les recomiendo ampliamente que lo usen con un teléfono que soporte aptX. Al principio es un poco confuso aprender el significado de los códigos de luces que incluye (es un LED de colores) ya que no tiene pantalla, pero te acostumbras. Me parece que sería mejor con botones dedicados para subir y bajar volumen, estos se comparten con los botones de Atrasar y Adelantar canción. La batería dura bastante, yo lo uso de tres a cuatro horas diarias y me dura unos tres días. El único detalle que le encuentro es que no puede colgar una llamada, tienes que hacerlo desde el teléfono. Nota: No incluye audifonos (Que si eres un melómano agradecerás mucho)

Hallo, viele haben hier wirklich sehr ausführliche Rezension geschrieben, an dieser Stelle danke dafür. Dies hat bei meiner Kaufentscheidung sehr geholfen. Für alle die unschlüssig sind. Hier meine persönliche Meinung: Krasses Teil ;-)Abgesehen davon, das jeder Kopfhörer dadurch ein Drahtloser wird, so ist der Kopfhörer-Verstärker eigentlich das Beste. Den dadurch holt man viel mehr Klang raus. Außerhalb des Hauses habe ich 15 Meter erreicht, erst dann kam es einmal zum Abbruch. Im haus kann ich auf der gleichen Ebene rumlaufen, es kommt zu keinen Verbindungsproblemen. Zusätzlich ist es wirklich super klein und leicht und wertig gebaut. Die strake Klammer ist klasse und sicher.Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Ho comprato questo modello perché il mio vecchio FiiO E10k, che mi ha dato anni di eccellente qualità audio collegato a un Mac, assorbiva troppa energia per essere pilotato da un iPhone. Dato che al lavoro non porto il mio computer, quelle volte che sento un po' di musica lo faccio col telefono.Il FiiO si è collegato al telefono con pochissimo sforzo e mi ha ridato da subito quel suono caldo e avvolgente che sta bene con ogni tipo di musica, dalla classica al rhytm and blues.Ho messo alla prova la qualità audio con una Grado SR60, un'ottima cuffia, una Sennheiser PX100, una discreta cuffia per dispositivi portatili e una AKG K240, da studio. Ho usato diversi album su Spotify per l'ascolto, in particolare MassEducation di Saint Vincent in edizione per il piano e Untitled di d'Angelo. Con tutte le cuffie c'è volume in abbondanza e un suono eccellente. La differenza di personalità fra le cuffie viene esaltata dalla resa del FiiO, così anche i limiti dell'economica Sennheiser vengono fuori inesorabilmente. Con la Grado (impedenza 32Ω sens. 94db) si ha un suono eccezionalmente equilibrato e aperto, con basso profondi, ma non tonanti e acuti ariosi. Con la AKG, (55Ω 104db) il suono è altrettanto equilibrato e solo un filo più indietro. La AKG, comunque è il cavallo di battaglia di riferimento per una musica molto ricca di bassi ad alto volume, in cui la Grado segnala dei limiti. La Sennheiser (32Ω 114db) funziona perfettamente, ma ha una resa molto sbilanciata sui bassi, che è più adatta a una sorgente audio di qualità inferiore. Anche gli acuti della piccola Sennheiser sono decisamente più indietro rispetto ai riferimenti.Con la Sennheiser, funziona correttamente anche il microfono, quindi si può telefonare senza bisogno di prendere in mano il telefono, come con le cuffie non dotate di microfono.Il volume dei FiiO si regola indipendentemente dal volume del telefono. Io ho optato per fare uscire il suono al massimo dal telefono e regolare il volume sul FiiO. il controllo del volume è digitale, a passi, ma non ha salti improvvisi.Come vestibilità, l'aggeggio pesa pochi grammi ed è così piccolo da stare nel taschino dei jeans, oppure pinzato a un passante o a una camicia.Una considerazione finale: una cuffia professionale e questo amplificatore hanno più o meno il prezzo delle costose cuffie bluetooth di Apple, ma offrono una qualità allo stato dell'arte e parecchie ore di uso senza ricarica.Ah, la presa per la ricarica è USB-C, come sui più recenti telefoni, non il connettore lighning, tipo iPhone 7.

Je cherchais un récepteur BT pour conserver mon casque filaire que j'affectionne.Ce Fiio est efficace, amplifie le son de mon smartphone Mate 10 pro.L'autonomie dépasse les 3 jours de mon utilisation. La portée est d'environ 15 M en maison, je ne perd pas mon signal entre le rez de chaussée et le 1er étage.Discret, efficace, la pince à l'arrière est un plus : Je peux clipser mon BTR1 sur l'arceau de mon casque.Attention prenez la référence BTR1K : c est la dernière version qui propose l NFC.
