So I bought MR5 instead of D3V which wasn't available in white color. I didn't wait once heard from ppl here, D3V not great for nearfield or low volume compared to others, had trouble with standby, muffled highs until latest firmware (where some ppl still not happy). I need something 50cm for me, for clear dialogs, and common PC work, to hear as good as on the headphones.
This set has no issues with the first and last firmware 1.0, app connects asap, standby doesn't annoy (it simply doesn't trigger during the working day unlike others) and can be turned off.
Looks very good visually. D3V looks like computer speakers, but it's also fine and they're smaller. Cardboard here vs D3V plastic.
Have to buy desk support, while D3V includes legs. Not important.
MR5 some buzz above volume 20, i can't hear it, but I can measure it. Irrelevant, many speakers buzz.
Clear dialogs on 1% volume -- accomplished.
Strong bass without subwoofer -- accompllished. Obviously no thunder in Dolby Audio videos, there's no subbass. If any small 2.0 set will go lower, I'll be interested in it.
Soft rampup when turning on or switching modes to protect agains deafening.
Digital: Bluetooth only vs USB-C only on D3V. Not perfect on both.
Bluetooth very recent here, with LDAC and higher bitrates, all welcome. Mixed inputs, e.g. PC and 2 mobiles work together. Interesting, perhaps welcome, or not. Not sure.
Overall great, hard to find faults.
Boxes are the same btw, it's just knobs adding to depth.
]. So now i've put my ear next to it out of curiosity and I can hear the buzz. It's inaudible from 50cm to me, and I see +0.1dB bump from 10cm, so i go closer, it's +1.2dB @1cm. So let's recap noise @0cm then:
