Things to Know

Fosi Audio P3

  • Bluetooth input is always active/discoverable if not connected.
  • Tube socket is tight; swapping tubes requires care to avoid bending pins.
  • No remote control.

Fosi Audio SK01

  • Built-in battery is unnecessary for a desktop unit and will eventually degrade/fail.
  • Input is limited to a single 3.5mm jack (no RCA inputs without adapter).
  • Form factor is tall and narrow, making it easy to tip over when heavy cables are attached.
