Great job man! The FW5 is a step in the right direction for Fiio and for tws as a technology. Let's just hope that Fiio doesn't decide to pull the plug on any future endeavors in the tech. Again, nice review

@Ceeluh7 thanks mate! And yeah, finger-crossed that old guards like Fiio can survive. The loss of these companies is the loss for all of us audio geeks. Still, they are competing in the field (TWS) where most customers have no idea / care about the sound like us geeks do, so it remains to be seen whether this large soundstage can out-weight the lack of LDAC and the thick, cheap-feeling case, and the sheer presence of Apple and Samsung.

This was such an excellent review! Really well laid out and structured, and very clear in language and visual elements. Comparisons were relevant and useful. Seriously, I'm so impressed with this.

@misteral201103 thanks for the kind words! Glad that it was helpful to you.

Excellent review as per usual, quick question though how loud are these? Might seem like a silly question but when you listen to low volume ripped 80's CD's some of them are recorded at very low volumes hence why I asked. For example I found the Sennheiser Momentum true wireless not loud enough ie: lacking power.

@scracy I haven’t got any problem with classical cds from 90s, though I am not a loud listener. If you get these, it’s important to know that it has independent volume. The built-in volume is set quite conservative by FiiO out of the box.

Thanks for review. I'm using an iPhone. Do you think I should buy AirPods Pro 2 or FiiO FW5?
