Sounds fine, but has terrible squishy buttons that don't seem to register half of the time, and buggy af UI that often gets the min volume offset incorrect so 1% volume is like 30%. Also it doesn't remember the "charge" setting so it must be set every time you turn it on if you want it to charge. Mine's also got a literally spotty application of anti-fingerprint coating on the screen, so when it smudges there are weird unsmudged circles all over the glass. Get a much better conceived BTR5 for nearly half the price instead. edit: also sometimes the screen just doesn't ever turn off which is is a great feature for an oled /s
I used to think the go blue was terrible sounding until i switched from my 7HZ Timeless to some cheaper crinacle IEMs and realized the 7hz are terrible.
@@TheTastefulThickness The processing done on that little unit is astounding. I’ve run it wired as a dongle DAC from my iPad..and it sounds great …but It’s primarily a Bluetooth unit . Nice choice 👍
The best microfiber towels are manufactured in Korea. 70/30 blend is the best (imho). Eagle Edgeless towels from The Rag Company would suit your needs Z.
Hey Zeos, have you checked out the new Xduoo TA-22? its a balanced hybrid tube & class A amp/dac unit that looks insane it appears like a topping D30 mixed with an MT-604
Can I please ask you a technical question? Is it possible -without causing explosions- to connect my Topping A90 via XLR cables to my xDuoo TA-20? Thank you, kind regards, mary Christmas and so on ... Rob, the Netherlands.
Z based on watching you screw with this makes me think I should not have ordered 1. In a week I guess I will find out. I think though simplicity (kiss) is always the best plan. My current goto is the Goblu (I'm on my 3rd one though). It's simplicity and functionality is why it is my goto. Failure mechanisms (for reference) were 1 battery, 2 the button in the volume wheel. Listening to you on the third.
@Z Reviews Have been trying to get in contact with you for a while now. Wanted to send you the Ampandsound Red October to review! Just bought one and would love to hear your take on it. Let me know how we can make it happen
Someone will like this but it's not for me. Could you review a turntable to valve phono preamp / valve poweramp to big Klipsch speakers with dual subs? That would be nice and jolly for Christmas. Warm tubey glow and analog goodness. 🎁
I don't know what you drive but It will have a better dac amp and bt codex than my car. Aka it send an analog signal through the 3.5mm jack to your car with better sound.
Why is it so diuficult now for me before buying headphone,dac,amp or iem even watching other so called youtubers the opinion of zeos is more important before pulling the trigger to buy it. Glad i found this channel. Check zeos before pulling the buy trigger..😄😄😄
finally a shout out to all the professional in-car headphone wearers. they all die young
It’s crazy how I started watching you when I just started high school now I’m here in 2nd year of college. I love your reviews
So, Qudelix 5k for my OH10s?
This is why the BTR3 has always been my favorite. It’s tiny and has a CLIP.
Seems like some of these companies are taking a page from the "AAA"-Games playbook... Ship as soon as possible, and fix it later.
I’m an equal opportunity listener, so I have both the FiiO and the IKKO!
@Eccentric John which would your recommend if were to own one of them?
the rag company edgless 500gsm is what you need my friend for a a rag. another great video
Other reviewers: These headphones are really sensitive. (specs: Sensitivity: 112dB)
Zeos: "It's big so it shouldn't be that loud at lowest volume"

I thought squishy buttons was a good thing 😂
I’m listening to this on the WU’s IEM’s and the IFI Go Blue 😋
And yes, I’ve got the OH10’s 😊

Is there an bluetooth amp thats better than the Ifi Gryphon? Not really planning to replace it until it dies but looking for upgrades
nope
The rag company has amazing microfibers.

When will we see the Shanling H7?
Huh why is the screen on yours amber colored? Afaik this thing does not have any color options and uses the same blue OLED as the BTR5 and UP5
32 mW @ 32 ohms? lol
NEXT ! ! !
What player do you use on this video? doesn't look like Aimp to me
How do you compare this to a ifi GoBlu
What is the device in the left corner of the desk with two green lights?

Hey Zeos, have you checked out the new Xduoo TA-22?

Isn't that a TA-22 vertically standing in the middle of the entire video?
@@RaindancerAU pffft, well shit it is lmao
Tbh any Bluetooth amp that doesn’t have a parametric EQ has lost before it even began to me, at this time
Why? Why specifically in a Bluetooth device?
Why? If they can make it sounds good right out of the box, I don’t need eq
Can I please ask you a technical question? Is it possible -without causing explosions- to connect my Topping A90 via XLR cables to my xDuoo TA-20?
Thank you, kind regards, mary Christmas and so on ...
Rob, the Netherlands.
yes the outputs on the back are designed for that you just need to figure out what volume you are leaving where to control what.
@@ZReviews thanks Zeos!
Hey Zeos, could you try to get the cayun Ru6 vs Btr7 vs Questyle 15 into a comparison? Possible?
i have a sick microfibre towel we use at work for details when I get the name I'll come back to this comment.
Z can u review the Swan D 1100 ?
Zähl HM1 review when?

That's disturbing. Did you exchange them on warranty or buy it three times?

No App 😮 ?
Too complicated, and too mediocre for $149..................thanks, Zeos! Merry Christamas & Happy Hannukah!!
Sub is better.
What are your thoughts about pirating anime
If you pirate anime you had better buy a lot of Figurines to make up for it..
@@ZReviews I see. Valid response
