Any updates regarding a new firmware release for the FW5? It's been quite silent here recently.
Dear friend,

Hi, what requirement would you prefer to add for the FW5? If you would like to improve the LDAC connection for FW5, we are sorry that we do not have the better plan for it currently.

Best regards

It happens to me too sometimes, the bug @helmutcheese mentioned. Especially when I have it connected to both my notebook and cellphone at the same time. It would disconnect from the cellphone but remain connected to my notebook. In that case I need to take out the iems, power them off manually and put them back in the case.

In my opinion you can leave LDAC as it is. I think little can be done if it didn't come native to the qcc5141 (correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe consider a LHDC dongle for non-LHDC users? Or maybe replace it with LC3? I don't know if this is possible though..

As for additions, I would suggest passthrough mode and button customization from Fiio Control just like the UTWS5.

On the original user manual (not sure if it was updated) these had Passthrough.

Strange thing that I experienced yesterday an today. Connecting my FW5 to my M11pro in LDAC, listening to music that have been downloaded locally, if i listen to my music via Amazon Music with Wifi on connection is rock solid, no problem at all, but if I diconnect from wifi and listen to the tracks this time stored locally, I experience audio beginning to have audio screeches, cracks, ... but when I listen with other TWS earbuds don't have that kind of problem (for example Sony WF-1000XM4 in LDAC mode too) very strange ...

Asking here again as maybe you've glossed over my comment regarding leak-through mode.

How do you guys intend for the leak-through mode to be used? Thanks.
Dear friend,

Hi, what's the problem with your FW5? You could send email to support@fiio.com with more details.

Best regards
