    [FiiO UTWS5] True Wireless Bluetooth Earhooks as Usual,Coupled with Independent AK4332 DAC

    With the one ui 6 and android 14 update I think Samsung finally succeded in messing up completely the ldac transmission at 990kbps. It's disgusting how this company is trying to create its ecosystem in an open source space. Can anyone confirm?

    [FiiO UTWS5] True Wireless Bluetooth Earhooks as Usual,Coupled with Independent AK4332 DAC

    These days I'm testing the samsung s23 in ldac mode and I think it is stuck on adaptive bitrate, I mean not only with utws5 but also with my other ldac equipment (i tested sony xm4 and shure aonic 50). Changing the bitrate under developer settings doesn't result in a music cutout, and that...

    Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?

    Best way is going to squig.link, use the equalizer, export graphic EQ (for wavelet) and load it in wavelet.

    Did anybody with a Samsung S22 (EU version, exynos soc) extensively try if utws5 work properly on ldac @990k ?

    I've compared their graphs to others in the past, and they don't seem to be accurate, probably they are not using a good coupler. Yesterday soundguys posted a review right after the announcement, the FR there looks a bit different.

    I made an hearing test years ago, and I had already lost 2db over 8k, the doctor said it was normal for someone my age. But I start to think I am above average because I have always the same problem with stuff that emits high treble, or I can't bear it because my ears and brain can't "process"...

    I've been testing the Technics AZ80 for five days, and I think they're going back. Everything is premium but the sound in my opinion. I tried to eq them and it's not the "barrel" effect that annoys me, it could be the acoustic chamber. The problem is in the treble region, the sound is metallic...

    For modern music you need a neutral one, not a V shape. My ears couldn't survive with a v-shape over a v-shaped sound. Try some qcy.

    Yes, GSM was right. I'm a bit disappointed: still asymmetrical bezels (Asus had posted misleading pictures) and only 30w charging. They added wireless charging though. Qualcomm Aqstic DAC should be the same as on the 9. I had money in my hands, now I'm not sure.

    A bit out of topic, but as you were talking about phones here is the link for the launch event of the Asus Zenfone 10. It should be Snapdragon sound with aptx lossless, headphone jack with a good dac, small form factor, 5000mah 4300mah battery.

    [FiiO UTWS5] True Wireless Bluetooth Earhooks as Usual,Coupled with Independent AK4332 DAC

    Today I took the adapters out of the case and they were 0% and 4%. The case was full charged, the contacts were clean (I clean them every time I put them in the case), the adapters were previously powered off, the leds on the case were on after insertion. No doubt this is the buggiest hardware...

    Tested on redmi note 10 pro, xiaomi pad 5 and fiio bta30. Continuous stuttering on 990/909 since the beginning, I had to choose balanced. I've been using the utws5 this morning and they were still in my ears when I upgraded the firmware, maybe the problem is the device heating.

    It happens to me too. It's bt stability related, but I can't find the origin. Some days everything is fine, others it's a pain. I have to go to developers settings and change sampling rate and bitrate, as they get screwed up, over and over again. I have a xiaomi phone.

    I use the B2 with utws5. It's a nice combo and a nice tonality but in my opinion they sound too hot around 3k, maybe the diffuse field target is not optimal for iems, but they are easy to eq. More tws should sound like them.
