About this deal

Even when nearing maximum volume you can barely hear any distortion, which is again a positive direct result of Radsone’s design choices. Final Thoughts This makes the ES100 only the second Bluetooth device I’ve heard that’s completely silent. (I can’t hear any hiss from my Airpods either.) The physical volume up/down buttons on the ES100 control the analog volume, so it behaves differently in Apple devices than other Bluetooth headphones. In iOS, a Bluetooth device’s physical volume controls normally control the iPhone’s or iPad’s system volume. Not so with the ES100, and that’s a good thing because it gives you fine control: +/- 0.5 dB steps, unlike the very course adjustment in iOS. Including 2 independent Hi-fi DACs and Amplifiers (Asahi Kasei AK4375a) – the optimal Dual DACs/AMP design for both single-ended and full-differential outputs

Using a slow speed drill fitted with a two bladed propeller (NOT A CEMENT PADDLE), mix the contents for 4-5 minutes to obtain uniformity in colour and consistency. Ensure all materials from the base and sides of the containers are mixed in thoroughly to ensure a uniform cure. The ES100 has a rated battery life of 14 hours which is better than what most Bluetooth earphones and a lot of the current DAPs offer. Considering its size, weight and power output this is really impressive. SoundTo ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1. The unboxing was way too simple to add a part of review to that, as the ES100 MK2 comes with just a short microUSB cable. That is it, no case, no covers, no extras. For the 90 USD paid, it is ok though, and comparable to what Qudelix does with their 5K. The ES100 clearly has more features and customization options than the BTR3 which will appeal to certain power users. At the same time, some will feel more comfortable with the more straightforward operation of the BTR3. Inside the box is the Earstudio ES100, a USB to Micro-USB charging cable, a lanyard and a card illustrating the basic operation of the unit. How can I decide how much current/voltage I have to select ? I have 50ohm 96db headphone in balanced mode I have to select 2x voltage? Or can I have problem? And on unbalanced mode? 2xcurrent is ok or is it better with standard one?

At the heart of the Earstudio are two AK4375a DAC/HPAMP ICs and they really do provide an incredible sound, particularly when used in conjunction with a high-quality codec such as aptX HD or LDAC. The front of the device has a matte finish and below its surface lies a single circular LED which flashes in different colours indicating various states of operation.

Final Thoughts

Perhaps the most underrated feature is the feature that allow the device to stop taking further charge after the battery reaches 80-90 percent capacity. Completely charged is a very stressful state for lithium ion batteries, so this feature could potentially extend the useful life of the device. The ES100 can work as a Bluetooth DAC, but also as a USB DAC. There is a limitation imposed by the chipset in the latter case: it can only support audio at 16 bit / 48 kHz when using USB. There is a setting that only works with macOS (for some technical reason I am not aware of) that enables 24 bit / 48 kHz audio; I tested it on the other operating systems and it does not work (as Radsone says).
