My dongle (btr13) has 3.5mm and 4.4mm. The 3.5 has lower output impedance, so I use that.

“BTR13 is going to be your best bet for that price range.”

I have the BTR13. Quite a great device. Fantastic power, LDAC (on Android), mic pass through, built in mic with 4.4, works with PS5 wired mode, PC mode which uses just the usb to power the device and

It’s because of the more superior dac chip the ESS ES9219MQ vs CS43131 in BTR13

I tried out the BTR13 for 20 minutes and it’s definitely worth the price, but for me, the BTR17 is worth the extra cash.

Tive o BTR13, pra mim é o melhor CXB em receivers bluetooth. Ótima potência, som extremamente limpo e é compatível com tudo quanto é codec. Ótima escolha!

The drive links for the Buds 3 Pro and BTR13 are not working for me.

Btr13 should drive almost any iem unbalanced.

got a BTR13 yesterday and had a first go today. Balanced, with EW300s connected via BT I have my phone at about 75% and the BTR at 30% and they are deafening…

BTR13 is going to be your best bet for that price range.

Fits just fine on those generic hard cases.

Hey, I ended up getting a BTR13 and with that also using a Harman EQ preset for HD550. WOW it has made a huge difference! The bass in particular feels very full now.

I chose the FIIO BTR13 for anyone wondering. Seems very convenient because I'll want to use it outside and on my desktop setup, and it will drive my current iems just fine.
