This is the second lotoo paw 6000 I have purchased from you. Needless to say I would give this portable unit 10 stars if I could. It does everything that I needed to do long battery life exceptional sound in all the categories.
Lightning fast UI and naturally resolving sound with good dynamics...never been happier with my DAP choice! USB DAC is very useful too! Thanks MusicTeck for the recommendation on this one.
Andrew was a pleasure to work with, helping me find a dap that worked with my needs and met my budget. I am very happy with the Lotoo PAW 6000! It is quick and easy to use, and it sounds excellent. The build quality is top notch and it sounds much cleaner than my go blu I was using before and has a dead silent (black) background. The Eq is easy to use in my opinion and a lot of fun. The bluetooth has worked great for me the odd time I want to stream so no complaints there either. If you don't need streaming capabilities I think you would be hard pressed to find a better dap without paying 2 to 3 times the money. The paw 6000 is an easy 5 stars and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a standalone dap.
I got the PAW 6000 to replace my MK1 Lotoo 5000 that finally gave up the ghost, after 6+ years of heavy use. ( actually still very functional, battery gave up, so wont hold charge) - And actually was just thinking of a replacement 5000, upgrading to the current version, as the quirky UI, I was used to, and the sound I was more than happy with.
But then started thinking about maybe an audio upgrade while at it. I looked at the Paw 6000 as this seems to be gathering great reviews, and my pockets definitely have bottoms in, so have a budget, and the paw 6000 , on top of the stella performance and quality accolades, seems to be a great value unit, plus Musictech seemed to offer the very best price I was able to find, so I contacted Andrew, and bit the bullet.
And extremely happy with the player, very intuitive, and customizable, and sounds beautiful, and a solid feeling unit I can easily see keeping me happy for many years. The whole experience, was fantastic, even my concerns of shipping to Canada were settled, Incredibly fast, reasonable postage. So if considering the PAW 6000, or even Misictech, Id recommend both in a heart beat.
First, GREAT service and fast shipping, no-nonsense customs - Thank you Grace!
The Lotoo PAW 6000 is an excellent value all around! I've had several A&K's, Sony WM1A &1Z, Sony ZX507, Fiio's.,.. overall sound quality and OS speed, battery life make this easily the best value under 2K, in my opinion. The quality of your files (flac or dsd) and the right IEMs or headphones also make the difference, as with any.
Really happy with this purchase, recommend it over A&K, Sony, and Fiio. As soon as I discovered Lotto is a big brand overseas that produces various pro-audio and related items, as well as being the producer of the (legendary) PAW Gold/Touch I decided to try my luck.
So--- A++ build quality, FAST OS (and so easy), great battery life, GREAT EQ! (Spend time with the EQ - it is very configurable), Excellent sound quality (++ better than the AK Cube imo), Gain works great, LINE Out is a plus. I can plug it into my Carver M I AMP with the 4.4 line-out... background and spaces between tracs are just as black as with iem's - never had that with any other DAP.
Received January 31, today is February 4 - ~30 hours on this player already - excellent! I may go for the Gold/Touch soon, if it's that much better than the P6000 I'd guess it is the Reference Player of all.

Odd way to start a review but...my favorite IEM of all time is the Etymotic ER4XR. However, I cannot listen to the ER4XR for more than 2 days in a row due to comfort. For a LONG time I have been looking for an IEM that sounds like the ER4XR, but with a traditional fit. This is it. My search is over. I LOVE THE SOFTEARS RSV. It's timbre is not identical to the ER4XR, but what they have in common is close enough for my ears. (forward vocals, beautiful smooth treble, sweet BA texture in the bass)
To compare the RSV to the ER4XR...most folks would probably prefer the RSV over the ER4XR. The RSV has a bigger soundstage, better layering of instruments, and remarkably better bass. The ER4XR has more detail, slightly more perfect treble, and the noise isolation that is magic and immersive.
Again, I love my Softars RSV. I've had it less than 3 weeks but I know I cannot live with out. I miss it sometimes when I listen to music from other sources. I would buy the RSV again with no hesitation. If you are an Etymotic fan, this purchase is a no-brainer. If you have never heard of Etymotic, the Softears RSV is going to be a delight.
This is the first IEM I have purchased from MusicTeck and the first "open-box" IEM I have ever bought. MusicTeck was great: shipping was fast and communication before the sale was excellent. As for the "open-box" experience: I could not find any evidence or indication that the RSV that I received was an open-box unit. I'm convinced I was sent a brand new unit. The box came in a shaped plastic sleeve. This plastic sleeve was sealed closed with Softears logo tamper-proof stickers, which were intact. The box itself was sealed with another Softears logo tamper-proof sticker, which was also intact. The IEMs themselves did not have a fingerprint on them. The cable still had pads around the connectors and the Y-split. The eartips were still sealed in their Softears logo plastic baggies. In short, I could not detect any signs of "open-boxed-ness." I am very satisfied with my decision to buy "open-box".
There are many, many reviews of this IEM, so any remarks I make here won't be very useful. In fact, 3+ years of great reviews is what made me so interested in this set. If you are trying to make a purchasing decision regarding the Mest MKII, so ahead and buy it. The legends are true. It is so fun!
Here are three observations. These are minor things that I learned after hearing it for myself:
- I received the new packaging, which is not described in most reviews. I tried several different aftermarket tips when I first got my Mest MKII, but the included tips in this new packaging are the best for me.
-The bass did surprise me, deeper and bigger than I thought. This is a happy surprise: it is delicious.
-I read many reviews saying the Mest MKII is brutal on old recordings, but I don't find that to be true, at least in my library. Old R&B, Jazz, and poorly-recorded Funk sound natural and alive.
If you are eyeing the Mest MKII, go ahead and buy it. Buy it here from MusicTeck: I cannot find it at a better price. Shipping was fast and free. Communication before the sale was really good too.
Probably the best silver cable I've owned, Slight evaluation of mid-highs with a bit of warmth and amazing technicality. Paired great with Canpur 622B. Also thanks Andrew for his incredible service.
I've tried many bone conduction models in the past, and these definitely provide the best sound.
Models that include bone conduction perform well as is, but trying out surround sound such as Dolby Atmos can be an amazing experience.
The shorter the ear tips and the larger the area of the housing that touches your ear, the more realistic the experience will be.
Very pleased with the purchase, just as advertised with quick shipping.
