i have a uBTR, ES100 and a Qudelix 5K. with stock settings, the uBTR sounds pretty close, if a little low on power.
the ES100 has a much better low end, and the eq settings are nice.
Q5K takes it to another level with the parametric EQ - it made my HD58X sound like an entirely different HP, and a big fan of it.
Also, Q5K supports the mic of headphones with TRRS jacks - the ES100 uses an internal mic which is a bit awkward to use.
Q5K buttons are totally unintuitive and i still havent figured out how to use them
uBTR and Q5k have a USB C which is a lot more useful than the ES100 which takes a micro USB.
i got the es100 for $63 renewed (and they are almost always on sale renewed) - Its much better value compared to the Qudelix which cost me $105 (spent some corporate gift vouchers) , and I would have recommended the ES100 if i had not discovered the parametric eq and the oratory 1990 presets - now its the Qudelix all the way
