used fiio q1mk2 @ 72$ vs new fiio btr 5 @ 122$ which one would you choose?

The BTR5 is a tiny bit more powerful (has 20 more mw in balanced) and also has bluetooth. I say if you dont need/use bluetooth at all the Q1MK2 is a better value for you. But if you use bluetooth, the BTR5 is one of the best bluetooth dac/amps out there.

Any impressions on the Fearless Tequila? I find a Fearless hybrid intriguing. I’m hopeful.

Sounds unique. Like the Roland. Will be a rec for specific people. Maybe not an all arounder

tbh this is actually a little tempting… the 8K spike is too much though

It is not supposed to be Trinity, there is one missing - JP Custom.

One Man to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

These Headphones?

Well they’ve certainly got the presentation aspect down. Damn. Looking forward to sound impressions.

Are they basically just a retuned Helios with a different grille and cable, or is it a different driver altogether? They look nearly identical other than the grille.

This is a Beryllium driver. it is audible. cleaner/faster mids, no haze like I picked up on Helios which was pretty much a PET mylar

so the shuoer tape 2 are coming soon… i hope because i actually think with the sound i like (pretty V shape with a emphasis on the bright side and heavy). i would need a shuoer tape as my next IEM

I am very stoked about that set. No price hikes, tweak tuning a bit and yeah…I am waiting for that

. various sets of filter nozzles
2. bass attenuation screw
3. drivers placement makes for greater sound stage in width and depth v.s OG Tape
4. 0.78 dual pin instead of MMCX (edit: this is huge for me personally)
5. Aluminum / teal color palette
6. Same price
