This is my new "friend": Feiao BTR3K Bluetooth Decoding Ear with No Price increase
, unlike master sun, I am not a Hi-Fi enthusiast. It is true that I am also the person who will spend thousands of dollars on headphones and care about the slight difference in the sound, but now I always unconsciously convert it into 95# gasoline when I see a four-digit price for headphones, and then estimate how many miles it can run in my car.
the so-called "maturity" and "growth" are probably the process of losing all "playthings.
so today my requirements for audio equipment are almost minimized: not bad, not bad.
, my memory of headphones also stays in the EX1000 and W4R bought frugally in those passionate years, and even these two things with a little classic attributes spend their old age with dust in my cabinet. Nowadays, I never want to toss about Hi-Fi player, especially when smart phones and Bluetooth headsets are so convenient, I feel that I can quite represent a real "non-enthusiast.
so what are the needs of "non-enthusiasts"? Just two words: convenient.
this kind of "convenience" can be said to be the most important reason for me and even the editors of ZAEKE to approve the Feiao BTR series Bluetooth decoding earphones. It is essentially a Bluetooth signal receiver. The reason why Feiao calls it "Bluetooth Decoding Earrator" is that BTR series products will give it to a truly professional chip to convert it into an analog signal and output it to the headset after receiving the Bluetooth signal. And with the popularity of high-quality Bluetooth coding including LDAC, the five words "Bluetooth without sound quality" have also been officially crossed out by BTRs.
as for this BTR3K... that's very interesting.
in Feiao Guanbo's interpretation of this new product, BTR3K is an upgraded product of BTR3. But to be honest, we think it is more like a pro-citizen version of the flagship BTR5, because it is closer to BTR5 in terms of appearance design and internal chip structure. Therefore, I feel that it is like a "BTR4" between BTR3 and BTR5. Even I personally feel that the reason why it is not called "BTR4" is because Guangdong feels that the meaning of "4" is not good, so avoid it.
say that? Because BTR3K chooses the same 3.5mm 2.5mm balanced output design as BTR5, it uses the same dual crystal oscillator and dual DAC design as BTR5, and it also supports headphones with microphone and wire control like BTR5. Its shell design idea is the same as BTR5. For example, high-end smart phones generally use "metal middle frame double-sided glass", so there is a lot of delicacy and luxury. Of course, after changing to the same design as the eldest brother, BTR3K, like the eldest brother, needs to rely on the accessories included in the package to be clamped on the clothes or backpack.
Due to different positioning relationships, the dual DAC scheme selected by BTR3K is AK4377A, and the OLED LCD screen on BTR5 is replaced by RGB indicator lights when it is on BTR3K. What we can't accept is that Feiao didn't keep NFC function for BTR3K, which also makes BTR3K the only product in Feiao BTR series Bluetooth decoding earpiece that doesn't support NFC fast pairing function.
why is this? You should know that μBTR, BTR1 and BTR3 all have NFC, not to mention the family boss BTR5.
Anyway, this is a big shortcoming of BTR3K. However, it may be Feiao who found that there is really no extra space to accommodate NFC after the dual DAC, dual crystal oscillator and dual output interface are plugged into such a small body as BTR3K, so he has to give up his love.
how many pounds and taels does BTR3K, the "youth version" of BTR5, have?
alas, "sound quality" is the last thing BTR3K needs to worry about.
because the BTR3 we evaluated earlier has shown that it is absolutely worthy of the sound quality of its selling price at that time, and even the BTR3 at that time can output the sound quality of players at the same price when matched with the LDAC function of Android mobile phones. BTR3K with better hardware configuration outperforms BTR3 in terms of resolution and detail, which is certainly not surprising.
"Why do we need a Bluetooth decoding earphone instead of buying a Bluetooth headset?"
is a good question, because the audio output quality of smart phones varies. After everyone lost the 3.5mm earphone hole, the Bluetooth audio quality of almost most smartphone manufacturers except vivo and Samsung was in a state of "giving up treatment. Before, when evaluating a Bluetooth headset, my colleague described the sound of this Bluetooth headset, which I think has OK sound quality, as overwhelming. However, with the deepening of research, we found that this difference in sound quality mainly comes from the Bluetooth emission quality of mobile phones. The same Bluetooth headset, with my Samsung mobile phone is better than with his Xiaomi mobile phone.
and Feiao BTR3K, because of its own decoding and power amplifier, can almost smooth out the difference in signal quality transmitted by the mobile phone. At least after we used different brands of mobile phones to connect BTR3K audition, we found no obvious difference in sound quality and hearing. Therefore, BTR3K is really suitable for domestic Android phones with poor Bluetooth sound output in our opinion. Even compared with the sound output by those phones through the Type-C port, BTR3K is simply natural.
rightly, BTR3K has basically followed the popular tuning of BTR3. The additional balanced drive port and balanced wire can provide higher driving force, so it can also allow the headset to perform better. Even if you don't use balanced headphones, BTR3K will use 2 DACs to independently process the left and right channel signals throughout the process, and can output cleaner and higher-quality sounds than BTR3. The Bluetooth protocol standard upgraded to 5.0 effectively reduces standby power consumption when BTR3K is idle. Therefore, when used at the same intensity in real life, the overall endurance of BTR3K will be a little more than that of BTR3 (of course, we have not strictly determined the specific amount).
Feiao even conscientiously kept the listing price of BTR3K at the same 398 yuan as BTR3. Feiao will also give an additional headset worth 98 yuan to every user starting from official channels before May 26 this year.
this is called "making friends". Feiao BTR3K is also the cheapest ticket to connect your mobile phone to a Hi-Fi player with balanced output.
Of course, BTR3K is not completely without rivals. Even we think that in a sense, its biggest competitor is its previous generation product BTR3.
on the sound quality level BTR3K is definitely better than BTR3, BTR3 will also receive an official price reduction of up to 100 yuan after BTR3K goes on the market. Therefore, BTR3 is extremely cost-effective when talking about the "unit sound quality" bought by "unit price. Compared with BTR3K, it has more advantages. Before the volume is not increased, it can output higher driving force through the balance port, and superior sound quality can be obtained with the balance earphone. But if you don't just need a balance, then BTR3, which is cost-effective, is now "fragrant". What's more, it also has NFC function, which can gracefully and quickly pair with one touch.
is this a fight in the same room? ZAEKE knows that it is not necessarily, at least BTR3 did not immediately delist after BTR3K was listed. So as mentioned earlier, in our opinion BTR3K is more of a supplement between BTR3 and BTR5. Instead of treating it as a BTR3 enhanced model, it is better to treat it as a smaller BTR5 without losing its main features.
Feiao uses BTR3K to minimize the cost of enjoying high-quality balance-driven music, and after connecting to Bluetooth, your mobile phone/PC is a music turntable that is 1 million times better than any Hi-Fi player. It can also be used as a USB decoding ear for PC, but its greatest value is to greatly improve the sound quality effect of smart phones, especially Android smart phones of domestic brands, and to add balanced output function on the basis of almost no additional use cost.
but no matter what you think, I have made a deal with Feiao's friend by selling such Bluetooth audio decoding earphones for 398 yuan.
