Just got my Q5k yesterday and was doing some listening thought BT when I noticed something different about my audiobook that I usually listen too. The recording sounds more spacious and less intimate, like there is a reverb / echo that wasn’t there before and he’s recording further from the mic.
I sort of noticed this when demoing music, but it was very apparent when I listened to the audiobook. I plugged my headphones back into my Atom stack and the effect was gone, then I tried the Q5k while wired with usb and it was also normal.
I expected BT to compress the signal a bit, not add characteristics to the sound, is this something common that I’m noticing? Maybe it’s the MK3’s making it easier to hear the difference.
Maybe crossover setting?
Though usually the setting between wired and bluetooth are shared.
Only 2.5mm and 3.5mm jack allows for separate setting like EQ.I’ll get a weird “out of phase” sort of effect similar to what you’re describing using Airpods with my (Android) phone sometimes (via BT of course) in the middle of listening once in a while - don’t know what causes it, just have to dis/re-connect
