even without the microphone , it just adds personality to a channel with ALREADY SUCH BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY
no it's just shitty audio lol
@@JALC-x It's fine. It's not painful on the ears and everything is comprehensible.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
@@JALC-x :) My sweet summer child... This audio is perfectly fine, if a bit lacking in the bass department.
This video might as well be a BBC produced program compared to what we used to have to deal with. Imagine a world where all small mics are as bad as the average nugget mics, and all the youtube videos only support 480p flash.
@@JALC-x thats what makes it so funny. It's also not ear wrenching like the music behind the TikToks my little brother shows me.
0:00 this is by far one of the best parts of your content, the fact that you just say "Sorry, deal with it" whenever something goes wrong and every time it makes the content just as, if not even more funny. Keep it up man
Indeed
Welp, here's this videos top comment....
Edit: called it
Some people make up for a lack of engagement and charisma with overdone production quality, but Dank could take a cell phone video in his garage while he tests broken iPods all day and I'll watch every time.
@@Memento_Mori He did almost exactly that. One of his older videos was just him filming on an iPod Nano camera/microphone.
Yeah mate nah meh 🫤
Ah yes, discussing fine quality audio off an iPhone 12 mic
Honestly considering it’s a phone the quality is pretty damn good
Good advert for iPhones though, still sounds acceptable
@@Juanguar but to be fair the built-in mic on an iPhone 4 sounds basically just as good somehow
I sampled my DSi into Garage Band using the mic once and it sounds almost like a direct capture
After a few minutes I forgot he was recording audio from the phone tbh
@@TorutheRedFox yeah that’s a lie. Do you think the rest of us weren’t alive when the iPhone 4 was out?
whenever you mention something has a mic, I sit up in my seat and get ready for the massive lore dump I'm about to receive.
so like, this one time,
@@AhDollarmate,
The M17 never gets old. It's just so ridiculous. If I got infinite money, but could only make one purchase and the money's gone... well then I'd just buy Microsoft and fix the mistakes it made in an afternoon but if I were limited to audio gear I'd buy the M17.
There's a problem with your plan: You can't undo Windows 8's existence
@@Kalvinjj Windows 8 was good when on a tablet. Windows 8 being put on desktops was the mistake
@@servissop151 I used 8.1 for the longest time, only issue that was so major that I had to update was W8 not getting DirectX support anymore despite W7 getting it, and W7 isn't currently supported but W8 is. I have no idea what the hell is going on with that, but otherwise, I quite liked 8.1...
@Don't Read My Profile Photo what is this 2010?

I love my BTR5 and you didnt even tell us about the best features (for me): The nugget has an app with which you can set an equalizer (I just need that extra bass) and if you have headphones with an inline remote, the BTR will forward that to the phone and even use the headphones microphone. Amazing nugget
The EQ option in the Fiio App is such a godsent, especially on Iphone.
just don't touch the EQ settings in the btr5 itself or there's a good chance it'll brick the entire device, don't ask me how i know that
@@sillsilesilhate to be blunt (and nosy), but how do you know
@@AhDollarI’ve been using the fiio btr5 for months and I’ve been using the eq settings in the device the entire time. I cycle through with zero problems and it hasn’t bricked. This guy got a dud and should return it.
the fact you dont even know what recorded the audio, even in the after show, is the funniest thing to me, never change. love u
I bought the lil btr5 almost a year ago because of these videos and I must say listening to this on it really gets all the echo out of this stinky mic audio thanks dank I love it
@Don't Read My Profile Photo go away bot. (Yes I did report it im just salty)
Yeah... Dankpods definitely influenced a lot of my purchases this year. I got huh duh six hungeos, a btr5, several iPods, and Meze 99 Neos since watching his videos. Oh, and the $1 Zune I got at a local rummage sale.
Bought a KA1 since Dank hyped FiiO’s prodict so much. Loved it, until it died on me… Ye… I don’t trust Fiio anymore
Have you ever fried a little DAC/dongle like that?
@@zanegandini5350 same 🤣🤣 Senhizer 600s and the BTR5 life. Been a blast.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Don’t commit suicide……!!!!!
btr5 my beloved
It's been my go-to for years when I've needed bluetooth. Thing looks like it could be broken, but I swear it's like a tank.
Yeah that's been my experience with it: built like a tank and has handled everything I can throw at it with no problem. Best $129 I've ever spent.
My glass scratched but I fixed that with a 10$ leather case.
dude its come absolutely flying off while im cycling too and its still completely fine
i cracked my btr5 rock climbing, the battery is exposed and the thing doesn’t care it has kept on chugging
Finally, DankPods talking about DACs and Amps. Love this, and I hope there's more of it in the future
8:43 flavored air?
You mean vapes?
They sell aviators oxygen in a can that is flavored. Those cans are used for running or going into high altitude areas. You can find them at walgreens if your in the US.
Whenever I hear Wade say: “and they have microphones in em!” I know the vid is going to be a banger.
Idk why but I love the lower audio quality. An audiophile channel not having excellent quality is absolutely fantastic in a good way to me.
It fits the dankpods brand well
You love the flip phone music? Or maybe not that low
Merry Chrysler to you too Dank! I only found your channel this year, but now, watching your newest video is one of the first things I do every Friday morning. Seriously, this is my favourite channel I've found this year!
The ifi go blue combined with the meze 99 classics have been my daily drivers for a few weeks now and it's such a great combo! Thanks for making a vid on such cool tech
It was Frank, Frank sabotaged the microphone. It’s always *FRAAAAAAANK.*
I'm not even into audio tech, just watching your videos because I love your personality :) also tell Frank hi for me!
Agreed.
I love your microphone testing, you always make it a journey, between each test was a stage in the story, the beginning middle, and end
Thanks for all the laughs this year and the years before this one, please keep on makin' these great videos!
soon

music to my ears
I like how Dank described vaping in the mic tests
Thank you very much for explaining so well what a DAC is and what it does! I’ve been watching audio content casually for ages now and I’ve just never known what that means. Explaining things well to casuals in a field is a very underrated skill!
Thanks for all the Nugget videos this year, Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Even without a microphone, I will still watch your videos. I look forward to seeing you every Thursday, and that is why I am still your patron because I love your videos so much. Keep up the good work, mate
Same here plus he only ask f😢1 buck for the content I love it
I seriously considered one of these guys a little while ago. I did some research and discovered for not a whole lot more than the BTR5 at the time (50 freedom eagle coins) I could get the Hiby R3 Pro which has the same power output and jacks, the same Bluetooth and USB tricks, the exact same dual DACs and was also a Hi-Res audio player. I have been using that sucker every day for 6 months now and love having my headphone jack (and expandable storage) back. My entire music collection on something smaller than a pack of playing cards with 14 hours battery life! Yes mate!
If it's the same why would you get a more expensive one
@@rudeskalamander If you can't read why would you reply to this comment?
@@rudeskalamander Its the same... plus a stand-alone audio player. Like if a BTR5 and an iPod Nano had a baby.
@@BambiTrout oh wow, where do you buy music? I've been looking at getting a collection
@@rudeskalamander ?
New dankpods video ! Just the thing i needed ! :)
AAHHAHHHHH thank you so much perfect timing foe this video I've been looking for something like these and the btr 5 is exactly what I was looking for and it's in my budget thank you dank poddssss
This episode is basically one big mic test if you think about it
true ngl
I bought the BTR5 on Dank’s recommendation, and I use it for everything. In the car, with my desktop, my laptop, all that. It’s absolutely fan-bleeding-tastic.
11:40 Merry Chrysler is my favourite one, because I’m a car guy, and you know what? I’m gonna be using this phrase everywhere
I am shocked at how hard it was to find sample recordings made using the microphones on these. I know they're not marquee features or anything, but damn. Much appreciated
I can imagine a Dunkpods statue for the DAC, "The nuggets that embiggens us all"
I bought a BTR5 based on your recommendations for a portable DAC, it is an amazing little nugget.
Merry Christmas! Thank you for another great year of content!
Merry Christymer, Wade. You made this year all so more better!
I bought the Qudelix 5k a while ago and it's also a great option! The companion app is by far the most comprehensive I've seen and works perfectly. Plus, the clip is built into the frame. Highly recommend.
Qudelix 5k is the secret king of pocket DACs
Its good but the DAC in the EarStudio ES100 sounds better and you can get that one for less.
What headphones do you recommend for either of these? I want to get it right first buy and I’m running off an iPhone
The qudelix 5K is also a great option for a bluetooth dac/amp. Fantastic piece of kit
Whenever something like this happens I throw it on my tv and crank up the volume, something bout a tv set really eliminates the background noise. Love the content always ❤️
8:52 the 7th grade bathroom has already caught on to it
And merry Chrysler to you too, Mr Pods!:)
Been running my hd600 on my btr5 for almost exactly 1 year and it had been blowing me away with every listen. Cant wait to see what the future brings for these dacs and amps.
the fact that at 0:00 i knew this was going to be a great video… keep up the great work mate
What a fine way to end the year.
Happy holidays y'all, and to all a good whatever.
0:27 Oh yeah, I loved those games!
Merry Dankmas and a memey New Year! (Also it's pretty reassuring that even people who've done a thing for years forget the absolute basics from time to time, cause lord knows I do the same for things I've done weekly for decades.)
Also now that I've watched what the bonus patreon video is... GDI I think it's time I spent that dollar and binge, that thing is too damn ridiculous to pass on.
Merry Chrysler PT Cruiser! Love to see all the super nuggets :)
Love my BTR5. I don't use it for my phone as much anymore as I recently got an asus zenfone which actually has a headphone jack of its own. The BTR now lives on my desk, plugged into my PC and still improving my audio.
Your content literally makes my day every single Thursday. Thank you, you have no idea how much your brighten my life!
Dankpods, you have genuinely made my life better by your videos. I’ve watched your content for a few years now, and I haven’t ever gotten tired of it. I always get a rush of energy when I see a new video posted. On your other channels too. You really are a cool guy, so yeah thank you for doing this whole CZcams career. I imagine that other fans feel this way too.
Thanks to you I bought the BTR5. I'm so super happy with it. I've used it daily over the last year, whether it be as my laptop sound card or Bluetooth audio receiver. Its amazing!!
A bit sad you missed the best of the bunch Qudelix 5K
They updated the firmware to support 20 band parametric EQ and 10 band L/R independent EQ just the other day, among other additions. I love that they add user requested features to this thing. It's definitely the best $110 I've ever spent on audio.
It really does trump everything. A little powerhouse. So many features packed in. Just having the EQ elevates it instantly.
Fr, built-in EQ is a game changer, especially for iOS users
My two favorite features of it are that it has an app that FLASHES FIRMWARE so that you don't have to have it connected to your phone all the time, and that it's not made in China (it's from Busan, South Korea). It's my portable and desktop dac/amp and drives any headphones I've thrown at it so far. The owner is very nice 10/10 device I would buy it over anything else.
I thought the BTR5 was great until I got the 5K. The app is amazing with all of the deep features, and the EQ function is one of the best out there. And it’s smaller than the BTR5 and weighs nothing!
Don’t worry about the microphone. Do you even understand why we’re here ? We like 2 things, audio stuff, and janky jankiness
2 days ago i got an idea what dac i should buy.
And now you pulled out with this video.
Perfect
"I swear I'm working on a dankmus track" - DankPods 2022 can't wait for when this comes out
Love the BTR5 It's what started my headphone collection! And the 'Samsung' design makes it look like it is the little bro of my phone, they look great together.
Always stoked to see a dankpods upload, makes my day :)
Oddly enough, I bought a BTR5 like TWO DAYS before you put out this video because of your previous talk on it and I finally had to switch to a phone without a audio jack. Absolutely love the little bugger!!!
Your video still sounded pretty good and was as entertaining as ever. A while back you did an explanation on open back headphones... Which got me to buy one! The before and after was so amazing it reminded me of when I got glasses, making me question how I ever lived with really cheap USB headsets. After that I ended up getting a Soundblaster GX whatever inspired by how you talked about music equipment and it added another level of awesome. So now that I'm aware of these I might consider picking up something in this category.
You've been an awesome guide. Thanks Dank Pods!
I find it rather sad that Fiio basically dropped their lower end stuff here. The BTR1K was great small powerful enough great clip and inexpensive. If you don't need the extra amplification the size and price and stupid separate clip really do matter.
I use a BTR3K which was about £60, which sounds great, and there is the uBTR for like 25. The uBTR is not quite as good, but it's super cheap. And it has a clip.
@@durrell246 I have a btr3 as well (got it after the battery died on my btr1k) sounds about as well and also had a build in clip. The uBTR is less good in terms of connectivity as well but also cheaper and also discontinued.
Still after fixing my btr1k I much prefer the form-factor of the 1k the btr3 (non k) also has a clip but is shaped more akwardly.
U can get KA1 it doesn't even have Bluetooth is a dongle dac the lowest and cheapest. If you want Bluetooth ymu can get ka3 but its similar to btrk3.
As a competitor to the Ifi and BTR5, I recommend checking out the qudelix 5K; it combines all the best bits of the iFi(the small form factor) and BTR5(that belt clip case) into a package a tad bigger than a 9V battery, while being the same price as the BTR5!
The little talks you do when you are testing the microphone never disappoint no matter the wacky idea
Got a btr5 a while back because of you. It's been my daily all in one solution to portable audio and noisy motherboard outputs for well over a year and still going strong.
I got the Meze Empyreum's thanks to this channel, and paired it with the BTR7 when it came out. It sounds like a dream, especially with my PC and Switch. Thanks for getting me started on this fun audio journey.
bro's swimming in big bucks 👀👀
I tried out a ifi at a shop and didn't like the interface. I went with a qudelix 5k, some of the button stuff is confusing at first, but it's SICK. Both single ended and balanced and the app has full access to the list of EQ's from AutoEQ's database on it that you use and if you want to do your own eq it has all the manual options. Not so fun that you need an app for all the features, but super fun how many features there are. Plus it's teeny tiny, can power my HD600's and has a clip to clip it on a shirt
"I swear I'm working on a Dankmus track"
This is the greatest thing you've ever said.
After you've shown the BTR-5 for the first time I went out and bought a BTR-3K for my Grado SR60e and those Headphones really sing now! Thanks Wade!

it's like those microphone nugget tests, it just doesn't stop, I love it!
I look forward to these every week!
for budget I think the Qudelix 5k is a bit better than the btr5 bc of the app, its parametric eq is truly amazing and has like 20 hot swap eq profiles, plus its a bit cheaper
I learned about the BTR5 from you, and that led me to the Qudelix 5k bluetooth DAC. I picked one up and have been very VERY happy with it. Can't compare directly but if you don't need a screen the qudelix is clutch. Also got some KBears on your reccco, and also Happy Ears plugs to sleep with. I really owe you big time. You have a friend in me. Merry Chrysler from Michugan my m8. ♡♡♡
There’s so many patrons now, very good to see!
I got a BTR5 for christmas last year (from your recommendation) and I've been having a blast all year. You've really helped me dive into Audiophile equipment and it's been a blast. Hell, I'm watching this video in my DT 770s, which are by far the best PC headphones I've ever owned.
I also bought the btr5 and some dt 770s. Which ones did you get the 32 the 80 or the 250 ohm ones
@@Fallen_Family 80
Keep up all your hard work 🎉
Just got a set of Meze 99 Classics for Christmas. Partially based on your recommendation. They’re so beautiful.
Bought the BTR5 (along with the KZs) about a year ago after seeing you talk about it for the first time. Absolutely love them. Great little nuggets.
Lover my BTR 5 thanks to this channel. Gets plenty of use with my Senni 58X with the balance cable at home and now I also carry it with my new Dunu Titan S IEM when traveling to work.
I love my Qudelix 5k for a snazzy IEM setup. The clip is built in, and the app is phenomenal.
Hey Dank, don't beat yourself up about the audio issues! Small mistakes happen all the times, and I'll take a slight blip in audio quality as long as it means I get to watch your video this week. Keep killing it man.
Bought that btr5 for my dad last year, and he still uses it every day. Still one of the best gifts i've ever gotten him to this day
Loving my BTR7! Thanks Dank Merry xmas
Oh dank. Never change.
Been a great year for DACs. I got to review a few this year for Android Police, and the ifi GO Bar was hands down my favorite. That thing was so sweet, and I wish I could have gotten my hands on the gold-plated version, since it apparently has different guts in it
The only issue with the GO Bar is that it's a QC nightmare. If you run it at high power often, it'll die and have to be replaced by iFi. Someone in a chat I'm in is on their 4th unit.
Merry Christmas Mate Dank Pods and Have a wonderful Holiday And Frank Too 🎄🎄🎄🐍🐍
It's like a full episode of mic-check dank pods! Amazing :D
I did drop my BTR5 just days after buying it, right onto asphalt. It didn't shatter like tempered phone glass does, it just kinda broke the corner of the glass like untempered glass usually does. Still works though! Just doesn't look as nice. I use my little nugget every day going back and forth to work, it's never let me down! And getting to listen to music or ASMR in bed while wearing HD600's is absolutely incredible
It's the *Huh Duh Six Hungeo's by ol' mate Senn*
At the risk of saying something that has been said a ton already, maybe check out the Qudelix 5K. It is in the same price/power class as the BTR5, the build is... Not that pretty or nice feeling. But the app is incredible. Parametric eq, graphic eq, built in auto-eq profiles, 20 custom eq slots, customizable filters, nitrates, codecs, everything. And the craziest thing is it is a companion app... With *good* reviews
12:21
My folks and I have been collecting Hallmark ornaments for literal decades so this is right up my alley! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Bought the BTR5 because of you like year ago. Best. Purchase. Ever. 👏
Definitely going to get a portable dac for myself for christmas. I have been using wired earbuds and they destroy any of the expensive bluetooth buds I've tried. I wouldn't consider one but the fact that it can be used beyond being wireless with the battery is what draws me in. I am tired of stuff that is obsolete after the battery dies.
Love the new kind of information on music, didn't know that would be this interesting 👍
Bought a BTR5 after ur video on mobile DACs and been in love with it ever since.
This channel is the reason I bought a BTR5.
same here
this channel is why i bought an iPod 5.5 gen
Same, kinda
I was using BTR3K before that, and it's arguably better as a Bluetooth adapter since it has longer battery life
But then I bought a Hurr Durr 6xx and it struggled a bit to drive it
@Don't Read My Profile Photo shut
Same, except when I went to buy the 5 I saw the 7 and got that instead 👌
ur videos are awesome mate. I look forward to watching ur videos
Not First!!!!
Ok when I posted it on my end it was first so I’ll fix it sorry
what an exquisite discussion
Lol probably only nice discussion on YT
LOL agreed, I love the little exposition stories DP gives when he's testing a recording. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you don't need a ton of output power, I'd recommend the BTR3K. It's a slightly stripped down version of the BTR5 that's significantly less expensive. They work great if you're driving ear buds.
I really enjoy relaxing in the bath and watching some video there. So, I came across this video and decided that it’s a great choice. And in the middle of the video I see my photo. Thanks!
I was actually given the Hallmark nugget ornament as a gift one year. It wasn't the one "with dock" like in this video, but it was the same tiny nugget and it played music from a speaker built into the back.
I love your stuff, man. Also show more of frank.
Frank is usually just a jpeg image, which is probably why she don't get much screen time.
It is always nice when she temporarily evolves into a gif tho.
@@rashira9610 that's fair.
