First thoughts?

I'm super excited, heard a lot of good things from those who went to go try it out in one of the audio fest.

About to sell my Fiio BTR5 Titanium
Also just excited that it comes with the 4.4mm instead of the 2.5mm output!!!

First review in, but it’s on headfonics who give everything they review an 8+ score

It’s so hard to read their reviews sometimes… very mainstream like. Idk how to describe it.

I’ll wait for some of the YouTubers to get their hands on a unit to either get excited or disappointed, I already ordered mine lol

Ai generated reviews with sections edited in to appear real, the entire website is little more than a vehicle for companies to advertise products.

Yep, it seems most “reviews” are very thinly veiled advertising, even, it seems, many of those from apparent peers right here on HF.

I really like Markus‘ reviews from Headfonics but I get your complaints about this BTR17 one/by this author. It’s a bit strange. So much text and not so much substantial information about sound quality at the same time For example, the comparison to the Go Blu is weird because the BTR17 sound quality gets described only in one sentence while the rest is description of the Go Blu (this is a BTR17 review, right?) Parts of it might be in deed ChatGTP written, but I dunno…

This is false, the guys spend a lot of time writing their reviews manually and we have done so for 15 years. To each to their own, if you dont like Louis's style no worries but to claim it is Ai is completely untrue.

Ok, I apologise to Louis and will place myself on the naughty step and contemplate my ignorance

They also missed some important information about the BTR17 which I pointed out in another thread.

Same here, shipped and on the way. I think it will take around 2 weeks to reach me. Waiting sucks !

I ordered mine on the 8th and it still hasn't shipped... I am losing my mind here waiting for the thing to at least be shipped

If you’re impatient don’t ever-ever buy an iem from FatFreq,

I’ll be interested to hear/read what you think of it, I’m a sucker for volume/control wheels on gear
