I've been using one of these devices for about 6 months now and it is pretty great. I bought it mainly because I can't deal with wires running from my phone to my earphones. I always snag the wire and have wrecked many earphones that way. I use LDAC to stream music from my Sony phone to the BTR3K, sometimes it is my FLAC files sometimes it is music from Qobuz and elsewhere. LDAC streams data up to 990kbps, it is great for music. I doubt many people could discern music streamed over LDAC from music played using a wired connection. Audiophiles do use these devices, at least those that are up to date with technology. I live in a busy city centre, I don't get any interference or drop outs, I sometimes get those problems with bluetooth earbuds. The device runs all my IEMs and headphones using 3.5mm SE. If you have any of the rare insensitive IEMs you may need to use a 2.5mm balanced cable. I bought the BTR5 a month after I got this, they are great devices.
Hey Mrfrosty thanks for your input really appreciate it. I think my main idea here was to inform the general public that theresa's huge diff between AAC and LDAC. But yeah those in the game alrdy know that LDAC and wired are pretty much similar sounding. But it's great to get something that's so portable and multipurpose. Thanks for watching my video really appreciate it!
Hi,
Can we use the inbuilt mic in btr for calls? Any useful noise cancellation done by btr? I plan on using earphone without mic hence asking.
very thorough and informative video, good work
Thank you!
The difference in sound quality is very noticeable, even when plugged into my PC and used as a USB sound card. There's also the BTR5 which is even better but twice as expensive. Definitely want to pair this with a good pair of headphones or you're wasting your money.
Agreed
You'd like the Hidizs S9 Pro DAC/ AMP DONGLE even better
@@DroidLocks6971whys that?
Thanks a lot for the review!
Do you know if you can use it while it's charging?
Thanks!
Hi thank you for watching my video! Yes you can!
lmao that live drop test 🤣
great review 👍
Hi. Thank you so much for your review. I'm new into these "better audio world". I need help in deciding whether I should purchase a FiiO BTR3K or a Truthear SHIO.🙏🏻
I think if you're new go for the cheaper option. And see if youre able to make out the differences. Then slowly invest in better ones.
can i use it with my old active speakers (microlab solo 7c) and pair them with poco x3 pro ? will i get a good quality sound out of them ? plz help me out.....
Has it enough power for 250 Ohm DT 990 PRO in an acceptable volume?
I use them with a Monoprice Desktop DAC at the moment which works fine. I tried the Sharkoon Gaming DAC Pro S for mobile use but the Volume was just to low. Thanks
From what I know DT 990s aren't hard to drive so it shouldn't be an issue. But always good to try it out first in a shop or something before buying.
Does it last long, Quality wise? Cause i was contemplating between this and ugreen bluetooth adapter, which is considerably cheaper, but ive read reviews that ugreen breaks after a few months. So maybe shelling out more money will be worth it. I dont really care about the diff in sound quality, im just tired of dongles breaking and have to keep buying again.
Mine still works after 5yrs or so. So it would say it does last long. I've dropped it on the ground alot too haha
I know that btr5 is better than btr3k however does the btr3k better than shanling up4 v2022? why? thank you
Hi Thank you for watching my video! Unfortunately I haven't used the shanling thus I cannot tell which would be better. But from the reviews it seems it's comparable to the BTR5 and it's cheaper.
Mine btr3k can be fully charged and within 5 minutes it will say 80% Battery then every hour after that it will lose 20% Battery .
I've had it for years now and only just recently started back using it again so this makes no sense.
I have the BTR7 in a clip case but it's so heavy .
I'm thinking I might buy the BTR5 2021 Version To Replace The BTR3K .
Sounds like a plan!
I just got this thing and it's already in the box headed back to Amazon. It was low and muffled. I got a Hiby FC3 and it sounded way better. Also, I have a Hidizs Ap80 pro dap which connects over Bluetooth to your phone and that sounds a lot better streaming Ldac. The Fiio sounds like a cheap $9. dongle.
Thanks for watching my video. Ah these are all amazing replacements for the Fiio. Wish i could review some of these as well. Definitely alot of differences in terms of hardware as well.
Thanks for the video, really helpful. I had a Fiio K2 in the past, however I have a question!
I am looking for a new phone, and of course, no phone supports headphones anymore, like you already said in your review. I am not that much in too audio, but I just wanted to look for a solution that makes my IEM-headphones usable with a new phone. My only issue is, I sometimes use my headphones for calls. My best friend moved, so we still have regular calls. I am assuming the Fiio BTR3K takes a signal from my phone and plays this as music, but it cannot send back the music from a mic on the headphone cable? Or would this work? If that works this would be THE solution for me.... If it doesn't I'll have to look on for another solution. Thank you for your time.
Hi! Thanks for watching the video! The FIIO actually has a mic on board so you can talk into the FIIO for audio input
Hi, how is the microphone quality? Can we use for calls ? Noise cancellation any good?
Yes definitely good for calls. All decent i would say. Not the best but good enough for the price. These functions are not the main point of the device so I dont expect it to be excellent. But was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
Hello. Can I connect it via bluettoth with my hires sony walkman nw a35 player that uses all codecs or is it only for android phones?
via bluetooth should be able to!
It almost feels like.. he is feeling drunk in between.. but awesome review.
Is it worth buying to use connected to minijack (aux) in my car?
hmmm i dont think the power output/amp matters in that case because ure using a seperate woofer system. Im sure u can just get a bluetooth dac w/o amp to fit that need. But if you can get this one cheap then why not.
Hi there ! Thank u for the review. Can I use it in my car to boost the sound from AUX? Basically when I use AUX cable, the volume is very low even when I put it on max. CD volume is ok, but when I connect AUX it offers me much worse volume and quality.
i dont think it works that way, your car speakers draw power from the vehicle itself not from the device the AUX is connected to
Sir can you also use TWS earbuds with the Fiio BTR3K?
nope, btr3k is just Bluetooth receiver and produce audio output via 3.5mm and 2.5mm headphone jack
When I Use The BTR3K As DAC for Wired Listening I Notice It's Not As Impactful As My Hidizs S9 PRO DAC AMP DONGLE at the same volume
Yea i think there maybe a substantial difference in hardware. I think mainly the output power is larger on the Hidizs.
@RandomReviewSquad oh OK . I know the Hidizs S9 Pro is a beast though . When I 1st got it was blown away at the difference in Sound quality for Wired listening

Will i be able to use a beyerdynamic dt 700 pro with this device?
ive tried it with my ath m50 so i think it should be fine. Its able to power the drivers well.
does it can transmit LDAC over bluetooth? Im using Apple product (ALAC) and i want to connect to BTR3K (convert ALAC to LDAC) -> bluetooth -> sony headphone (LDAC)]
Hi! Thanks for watching! Hmmmm interesting. Yep the BTR3K does support LDAC.
@@RandomReviewSquad yes it does support LDAC but for receiving LDAC over bluetooth only right?. now im looking a device that can transmit LDAC over bluetooth to my sony headphone
@@buckbugs nope it cannot transmit it's a dac it can't transmit an analog signal back again.
@@RandomReviewSquad finally i get the answer. Thanks alot bro. i really appreciate it :) :)
@@buckbugs I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?!
05:08 are you sure our phone has to support these codecs? been thinking to buy this BECAUSE my phone does not supprt the codecs
i mean phone MOSTLY comes with A2DP,LE
Hi! Thanks for watching. If your phone does not support the codecs in the first place the audio file can't be compressed and encoded in the particular format for the fiio to uncompress and decode.
@@RandomReviewSquad makes sense. But makes me wonder why none of the many videos I watched talked about this.
Thanks
But anyway to verify?
@@cravatenoire3269 what do you need to verify sorry? If you want to check on whether that's the way it works you'll have to hit the forums and also check how codecs work haha.
@@RandomReviewSquad Confused because many who for example reviewed LDAC BT headphones or TWS talks about the drastic differences. And I don't know of many IF NOT any smartphones with BT LDAC support. Atleast not on GSMARENA.
get me?
Is there a difference in quality if you use this to listen to music streaming e.g spotify, compared to using FLAC local files when they both have to be transmitted to the bluetooth using the respective codec formats anyways?
Ah both FLAC files and Spotify is transmitted via the best possible audio codec ur phone has. I'm sure the FLAC files would be slightly better but it may not be discernible. I think the real diff using the fiio comes in powering the earpieces to it's full extent and allowing for the best possible codec. Of course if u compare within codecs I would say LDAC is better and the others do have a difference. But comparing FLAC and Spotify's highest is pretty difficult.
@@RandomReviewSquad right I would expect the quality in FLAC to be lost in translation when your phone sends info to the dac over bluetooth... Big no no for the snobs 🤣🤣
@@haepisaus even then the quality diff sn't discernible lar unless like u said if u're a high level audiophile u would be able to pick out the diff.
Now it's impossible to find for under $100
It's 100% possible
It's only 62$ now
where you get high res songs?
Tidal is a service that offers some of the highest res songs.
I have a cheap smartphone with a ton of 128/192 kbps mp3s and a soundcore q30. Would a fiio would improve my quality of the music or would be a waste of money? Thanks
I think your cheap smart phone needs to have the ability to transmit better codecs.
How does it compare to the old Fiio BTR3?
Hi realtalk. I'm not sure actually. I haven't used the older one.
Its BTR3K not BT3RK
Yes HAHAHA i have corrected it in the editing and the video name.
It’s rubbish. You & the other reviewers must be on a bung from Fiio. Bought it & sent it back. Avoid & spend another 10O bucks on the ifi blu
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. What about it was bad? I'm aware it's not exactly the best for audiophiles but i've actually enjoyed using mine. Also not on a bung haha I bought mine second hand from a friend.
