FiiO BTR11 vs Fosi Audio N3

Both are Bluetooth receivers, $36 against $50. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?

The Fosi Audio N3 reaches 100 dB on 562 of the 567 models here, the FiiO BTR11 on 549.

A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The headphones that tell them apart

13 headphones reach 100 dB on the Fosi Audio N3 but not on the FiiO BTR11 — Audio-Technica ATH-R70xa, Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition (600Ω), Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition (600Ω), 10 more.

549 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
