Review on SEYOO Headphones Sport Earphones for Fishing - iPhone 6 (XG), Black: Enhance Your Fishing Experience by Devin Pishey

I'm a lifelong audiophile on a budget, I have about 32948320432048 wired headphones that I love. I've hated Bluetooth for a long time, but for a few months I've been experimenting regularly with it and the Taotronics BR009, the most popular BT receiver/headphone converter in this price range, for casual uses or situations where wireless is an advantage (like blackout). . Watch YouTube videos in bed without the risk of pulling the iPad out of the bedside table because of the cable connection if I roll over in my sleep). I was expecting the Fiio to be more like the Taotronics. Everything turned out very differently. Fiio has a reputation for making quality products for people who value sound, so I figured it would win. However, the sound quality is much closer than I expected for these two discrete options - quite serviceable, some minimal noise/noise in both situations/in certain applications, but usually tolerable or absent. In other words, Fiio is worse than I expected and Tao is better, and it's basically a blur. I can't really tell a difference in detail, but the Tao can certainly put out more milliwatts if you're going for volume. (Disclaimer: I didn't take measurements, but while I don't usually blow things up, I've actually encountered situations where the Fiio doesn't play as loud as I need it to. Not so with the Tao.) - Both Three buttons so you would think the UI would be very similar in usage. However, the Tao's power button features a large, thick button on the top bezel. This greatly simplifies "blind" control in your pocket. In fact, it's often difficult to tell which is the power/play button on the Fiio and which is the volume rocker without swiping across them multiple times. Sometimes it's even hard to tell if you're turning the volume up or down (the volume rocker isn't much longer than the power/play button). The Tao's button layout is on two sides of the device with completely different button sizes, and all buttons are placed asymmetrically on the device, making what you're going to press more noticeable when touched. - If you don't turn on your phones to hear the "I'm off" signal, Fiio is actually pretty hard to turn off blindly. There seems to be a longer and almost random delay between turning it off and actually turning it off. I've tried turning off the Fiio many times and thought I'd made it, only to come back an hour later and see it was still blinking stupidly. I've never had this problem with the Tao - I just press the button and hold briefly like you'd expect and it turns off every time. Speaking of smart shutdown, here's the big problem with the Fiio: the Tao is smart enough to automatically shut down after about 20 minutes without a signal. Fiio runs smoothly for hours and/or until the battery dies. If you want to use the thing to squeeze your headphones before bed/as a sleep timer, you definitely don't need a Fiio. The range is better on Tao. Battery life is better on the Tao (not that the Fiio doesn't have bad battery life by any means) - Pairing, especially early in ownership, is more reliable and less finicky on the Tao. I had several devices where Fiio just didn't exist. want. associate. In the end, he "learned better" after about ten tries, but Tao didn't have such trouble with any of them. The Fiio is good overall, and if you really need a clip-on like I originally thought, or don't want to deal with keeping a separate Micro-B port for charging in 2020+, it's a " clear winner". the Tao only within. But even there I actually found that I didn't miss the MV as much as I thought once I have Tao and I go. It fits well and stays in place. If you then want to use it for training. I don't know, stick something on it. In any case, a safety pin is safer than a plastic clip. And I've had a lot of small devices with spring clips built in - the clip always breaks eventually. (Fiio lasts 3 months.) Bottom line, I currently have one device (mostly Tao) on my desk and one (mostly Fiio) on my bedside table. But even if I don't need it, I'll probably buy a second Tao and fire Fiio. To my surprise, Tao is just much better than uBTR in practical use and less fancy to use. sorry fio
