positioning flagship Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator makes burning friends's cable equipment more useful.

In today's flourishing audio products, there are a group of audio enthusiasts who are picky and enthusiastic about the sound quality of audio equipment. They are dull to all the unbearable equipment and seem to give their ears the most basic respect. Faced with the unstoppable wireless trend of mobile phone audio, enthusiasts are gradually narrowing the optional space for devices. In order to improve this embarrassing dilemma, portable Bluetooth decoding earphones have emerged.

landmark flagship item

years, the public opinion dispute between wired and wireless headphones has never stopped. It is precisely because both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages that this public opinion has failed to reach a substantive conclusion. However, facing the inside of the mobile phone, the living space of the 3.5mm audio port is rapidly narrowing, and more and more new models are castrating it.

of course, there is still a mountain high. In order to make the wired earphones in consumers' hands more useful, Feiao, who has always been good at providing HiFi audio solutions for users, launched its first Bluetooth earpiece product BTR1 in 2017. As soon as it was launched, it had a good response in the market. As a firm practitioner of Bluetooth earpiece products, Feiao, who is pursuing the victory, recently launched the latest flagship product of this series of products-Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece.

, whether it is packaging boxes or accessories, Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earphones or following the "simplified way", there is no increase in costs in unnecessary places, so that pricing can be explored as much as possible. Therefore, in terms of accessories, Bluetooth ear holder host, back clip protective shell, charging cable, after-sales maintenance card, quick start guide and Bluetooth use prompt card are provided respectively. However, compared with the previous full paper outer packaging, this time Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece uses a plastic packaging box with higher hardness, which can cope with violent unloading during transportation.

, as the flagship Bluetooth decoding earpiece for positioning, can feel that Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece has reached a new level in the process, probably because aluminum alloy body is widely used in the whole machine, and hyperboloid glass is used on the front and back sides of the body. In order to reduce fingerprint residue on the surface of the body, Feiao specially added an oleophobic layer to the front and rear glass. Whether it is the baking varnish process or the gap polishing at the interface, it has been treated in detail. Therefore, the exterior of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece is really trying to create a high-grade feeling that flagship products should have.

Because Feiao is equipped with a protective shell and a two-in-one accessory of the back clip, the protective shell with the characteristics of the back clip can make Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earphones easily placed in collars, trousers, bags and other places. After all, compared with real wireless earphones, the wires of wired earphones still need to be combed and placed, otherwise the falling wires will still have certain interference with the daily actions of users, in addition, about 40 grams of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earphones cannot be ignored.

In terms of operation, most of the operation control can be completed through the three physical keys provided by Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece body. In addition to your basic on/off operation, music playing/pausing, incoming call answering/hanging up, volume adjustment and track switching, and even pressing the B key in the middle area to call out the voice assistant of the mobile phone.

considering safety, the standard transparent back clip hard shell of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece has a high degree of fit with the device, so the difficulty of disassembly is also increased, and orderly and slow peeling is required from the four corners, for fear that the hard shell will knock down to the rupture of the body of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece or the protective shell itself.

BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator is Feiao's first Earrator product equipped with a body display screen. It is limited by the display limit of a 0.49-inch 64 × 32 resolution OLED display screen. Its resolution seems to be only a short English menu. However, the words in the body are relatively basic, and each menu is basically accompanied by unique symbols, so the operation difficulty is not high. If you forget the operation steps of the menu, there are also corresponding electronic instructions for reference through the "Feiao Music" APP.

The pairing method of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece is also relatively conventional. First, you only need to press its multi-function key for 5 seconds to enter the pairing mode, then the mobile phone scans Bluetooth until you see the device nicknamed "FiiO BTR5", and then click Connect. Second, in order to simplify the pairing process, Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece also provides a second pairing method, because it has built, therefore, with devices that also support NFC function, you only need to touch each other to achieve a fast connection.

can find that even if the screen is adjusted to the highest brightness, it is not easy to see the screen contents of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Ear in a place with strong outdoor light. Compared with the display screen and menu, the volume adjustment logic of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Ear is the most disturbing to me, because the size adjustment of its volume button cannot realize long-press and fast adjustment, and can only be fine-tuned by increasing or decreasing 1% at a time, which is a bit complicated to operate.

body, some functions can be set through the "Feiao Music" APP, and the equalizer function provided can be adjusted according to everyone's preferences. More user-friendly, users can also individually or even prompt tone and call volume, which is a relatively detailed function. Perhaps considering that sometimes the earpiece is placed in a place that is not within reach, Feiao also specially added the remote shutdown function of the device to the BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece.

the Coexistence of "Spear" and "Shield"

of the above are just a foreshadowing on the flagship road, and the built-in hardware configuration level is the core of the flagship, because Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator is equipped with a high-performance DAC ES9218P × 2 + flagship decoding chip CSR8675, which means that it can realize single-ended output power, 80mW +80mW performance, and the balanced output is 240mW +240mW, which is enough to meet most headphones and.

Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator uses the FPGA chip commonly used in high-end HiFi players and adds independent dual crystal oscillators to improve the stability of Bluetooth and accurately restore audio signals with different sampling rates. What surprises people is that it supports full-format Bluetooth coding, and the Bluetooth decoding sampling rate is as high as 96kHz. Not only that, it is also equipped with an independent control chip XMOS XUF208, which can realize UAC2.0 asynchronous audio stream reception and decoding.

, ZAEKE's earphone focused on audio products have something to say about the sound quality of the BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece.

@ earphone

, the timbre of Feiao BTR5 is a common and will never go wrong at the entry price, and is slightly inclined to pop music. The energy distribution is generally balanced and the intermediate frequency part is slightly strengthened. It is a type that is easily accepted by ordinary users and players-after all, at the price of Feiao BTR5, the buyer will not just ask for "loud. Not only is the audience wide enough, but such timbre is not picky about earphones and music types. Apart from Feiao's own FH7 type, we have also tried to match earphones of several other brands, all of which have no obvious discord.

as for hard quality, the amount of information and dynamics presented by BTR5 are satisfactory among similar products, which is sufficient to meet the needs of most entry-level users. However, Bluetooth is Bluetooth after all, and BTR5 cannot escape the "digital flavor" of insufficient density and slight fragmentation. Even if LDAC is turned on, it cannot be completely avoided. This can be said to be a common problem of Bluetooth audio products at present. Even Oriolus 1795, which are far more expensive than BTR5, we have evaluated, also have this problem. Therefore, it is definitely inappropriate to blame BTR5 for this, but we think consumers should make some.

can be found from the top of the fuselage that Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator adopts a true balance architecture, allowing it to achieve 3.5mm +2.5mm output. This design is mainly to cater to the conventional 3.5mm single-ended and 2.5mm balanced output of medium and high-end equipment. It can be understood that its single port is suitable for headphones or other audio input devices with impedance between 16-100 ohms, while the balance port is suitable for headphones or other audio input devices with impedance between 10-150 ohms.

, as a product mainly used in mobile devices, Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece has also added a high-sensitivity microphone to the body. Although its radio effect is not bad, it still needs to be hung close to the face to ensure the quality of the call. However, once the headset with its own microphone is used with it, it will automatically hand over the pickup authority to the headset wire control to achieve a better call effect.

Although Feiao BTR3 has implemented a relatively perfect HWA(LHDC) lossless Bluetooth transmission protocol, this time Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece does not support this transmission protocol. According to Feiao's official statement, considering the current market There are relatively few devices supporting HWA, and CSR8675 the limited built-in ROM capacity, the support for HWA is canceled.

For endurance performance, Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator has a built-in battery capacity of 550mAh and can work continuously for about 9 hours. However, since I started using Feiao EH3 NC headset with wireless noise reduction, it has been spoiled by its 50-hour long endurance. It's just that for Bluetooth earphones, although the 9-hour battery life is not very dazzling, it is not easy to have nearly 10 hours of battery life considering its own performance advantages. In terms of charging time, due to the lack of fast charging characteristics, it takes about 1.5 hours to fully charge from a non-electric state.

, the sound quality of the workmanship is grasped with both hands, and it does not live up to the name of the flagship.

Bluetooth earphones truly transform traditional wired audio products into a state that can be "wired" or "wireless". This is the meaning of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earphones, which not only solves the use of wired earphones in the wireless trend The limitations of the situation also provide a new choice for consumers who have higher pursuit of sound quality.

2019 has also reached the blowout period of Bluetooth audio equipment. Feiao, as an audio manufacturer that set foot in Bluetooth earpiece products earlier, has made progress in the field of Bluetooth earpiece from BTR1 three years ago to BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece today. Because no matter the process improvement of the product itself or the sound quality improvement, we can feel it from Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece.

Of course, don't think that the use scene of Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth earpiece is only limited to the use with the mobile phone. In fact, it can also be linked with the in-car audio to realize the playing of lossless music on the mobile phone. If there is a higher requirement on the sound quality of the desktop speaker, it can also be used for connection and matching, so that wired earphones can be instantly turned into wireless earphones.

Not only that, considering that Feiao BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator has added an independent XMOS XUF208 chip, it can also directly decode with the computer through USB, supporting up to 384k sampling rate and DSD256 hard solution, thus truly achieving both entertainment and work.

BTR5 Bluetooth Earrator, as Feiao's flagship Bluetooth Earrator product, its comprehensive performance is really not worthy of its official pricing in 698 yuan. After all, it is a Bluetooth Earrator product that supports all mainstream Bluetooth formats and has high-specification hardware. Not only that, Feiao also provides this product with an official two-year warranty to ensure that users can use it with more confidence. Of course, it is not perfect in experience, but this does not hinder its significance in the portable Bluetooth earpiece market.
