FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 - Desktop Audio Systems under Control

With the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3, FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. expands the possibilities around the product line of desktop audio systems strongly pushed by the Chinese specialist. First and foremost, the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 is designed for the FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP.

Story Highlights
  • The new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 is now available as the optimal solution for systems such as the FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP.

With the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3, which is now available, the Chinese specialist FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. is expanding its range of accessories for desktop audio systems. FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. has been pushing this area more and more in recent months, wanting to build up a second mainstay alongside personal audio systems such as DAP, headphones and portable headphone amplifiers.

The main focus is on the FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP, for which the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 is of course also primarily designed.

Designed for FiiO’s desktop audio systems

When FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. began to present the first desktop audio systems that go beyond the solutions they have been offering for years in the form of headphone amplifiers and D/A converters, they also promised to offer corresponding accessory solutions that would guarantee the most comfortable use possible.

FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. itself likes to talk about a new generation of desktop audio systems, whereby the aforementioned FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP is seen as a kind of prime example of how these solutions can look.

With the FiiO KB1 Mechanical Keyboard, they already offered a control solution that is only really practical if you place the FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP directly on your desk. However, if you use this solution as an extremely flexible source in the centre of a classic hi-fi system, the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 is the ideal choice for convenient control.

Bluetooth provides flexibility

It is pleasing that the decision was made in favour of Bluetooth, because in contrast to infrared remote controls, the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 does not require visual contact between the remote control and the device to be controlled.

It also offers some control options that can only be realised in this way, such as a so-called mouse mode, which is made possible by a gyroscope integrated into the remote control. The manufacturer promises that gestures can be used for simple control.

In addition, there are of course 14 buttons that can be used to directly access all relevant functions and guarantee quick navigation through the menu structure of the device to be controlled.

By the way, the manufacturer particularly emphasises that during playback via the FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP, music titles can be marked as favourites at the touch of a button and thus be placed in the corresponding playlist.

According to FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd, the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 is made of plastic, namely ABS, so that it is very light and yet very robust.

Prices and availability

The new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3 should be available in specialist shops these days. The price for this solution is a moderate € 19,99.

Getting to the point

With the FiiO R7 Desktop Digital Streaming Music Player and DAC/AMP, FiiO Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. offers an exciting desktop audio solution, and with the new FiiO Bluetooth Remote RM3, the ideal control option is available as an alternative to control via smartphone apps alone.
