I mostly listen to kpop and jpop with mostly female vocals and busy tracks with occasional laufey and normal pop. I guess cant really go wrong with any of them for the respective price.

so you meant the ew300 is too small for your ear? which do you prefer between s08 and ew300dsp?

yeah I fuckin love mine dude, boy does it slap
I had the impedance adapter on while listening to Alicia Keys’ No one and it was too much bass lmao

both of them suffer from not that great a fit on my ears tbh, I preferred S08 since it was more relaxed but I also liked the EW300, they’re even to me tbh
I will say I owned the EW300 HBB

you can’t go wrong with either, if you can only get one, I’d choose EW300 because tuning nozzles

Simgots will work well. Explorer might lack some spice though judging by the graph, S08 should work better but I probably get a simgot for this.

does the Deuce have that satisfying long decay subwoofer like rumble ?

Out of all my stuff as of recent, it’s the closest one to being as satisfying as my Mext, so yeah I really enjoy it especially when you factor in price

Has anyone used/got thoughts on the Fiio BTR11 or BTR13?

Any user experience info most welcome. Thanks

Strongly considering a BTR13 soon, I’ll share impressions if I go ahead with it!

For the cost I have nothing to complain about the BTR11, been a work companion last weeks. I can notice it lacking some control compared to some cheap dongles, probably due to less power available.

Still it can drive planars line S12 at around 70-80% volume, but volume is not everything.

I’d never heard of the BTR11. Seems a lot cheaper for just skipping the 4.4mm port but of course that isn’t all that was skipped. In their own literature, this sounds like way lower power than I’ve heard of in a long time: “With a built-in high-performance independent ear amplifier and an output power of up to 45mW (16Ω)”. 45mW at 32Ω would be low!

Great price and features for everyday folks listening to everyday buds, although it’s rare for everyday folks to be using wired in the first place and a TWS set that would fit their needs would only be $20 itself.

Thanks chap - very interesting - yeah my use case is similar - perhaps a little more for the bag casual IEM emergency prep :joy:

Do you happen to know if it has PEQ through the app? Or even if it uses the Fiio app?

Thanks again - much appreciated :pray:

Nope, only option in the fiio app is to update the firmware.

It’s weird as the cheap JA11 is able to use PEQ.

Strange decision as the BTR13 probably has enough difference to justify the upsell from the BTR11 without the PEQ difference.

Shame - would have been nice to see it here but then again for €20 I am asking a lot also
Still may pick one up - gives me heavy “in the summer” use vibes (which I will now bottle for 8 or so months until next summer) :joy:

Have you considered the Quedelix 5K, or do you want the 4.4mm balanced? The 5K is such a great product :fire:
