Yeah, I figured it had something to do with the master-slave connection type. I don't think it's a big deal, how often are we going to be updating the firmwares right? I just thought that I'd point out the quirks because if you only update the left ear and not the right, and the phone connects to the right ear bud, it's going to be blasting max volume again, which would be pretty dangerous.

Yes, it's stable to connect one headset at a time, otherwise there could be a bunch of problems

 

[FiiO Willson]

Can someone from fiio please confirm if the utws3 is compatible with the ps5. I would like to use it as a headset.

No one has reported any problems connecting to PS5 so far
As we don't have a PS5 to test here, I can only give you this result for now

Literally nobody asked for this, but I just added wireless charging to the UTWS3. I can post a guide (fairly simple really) if anyone need. Not sure if it is safe so...




It just finished charging on mine
I am by no means an engineer so keep that in mind. Again, not sure if it's safe...

You are amazing, so good with your hands
We will be evaluating the addition of wireless charging in our next generation of products. That will definitely be perfect

Received an email from FiiO Support saying that the update is only available for Android, they didn’t say anything about future support for iOS. @FiiO Willson do you know if a method for updating firmware via iOS is being planned for the future?

Won't work with the stock PS5. However it will work if you plug a Creative BT-W3 into the PS.

Tbh I'd recommend the Fiio LC-BT2 though as it has Aptx-LL (just like the Creative BT-W3) which means ~40ms latency.

Hey everyone,
I’m going to be getting some Thieaudio L4 customs, which are 2 pin. Should I get the mmcx UTWS3 and an adapter, or should I wait and get the 2 pin UTWS3? I do have other iems that use mmcx, but I don’t foresee them getting as much use after getting a pair of customs. Thanks!

The MMCX with the adapter will make the UTWS3 sit a little higher up on your ear. It really comes down trying it out. The UTWS3 wobbles behind my ear when walking if I use an MMCX iem. It drives me nuts. I use the OE adapter and at the moment I'm using the L4 as a daily for testing but I like the fit better with the adapter. I get no wobble and a better fit with that setup.

@FiiO Hello, any plans for EM5 buds in future to be connected to UTWS3?

Dear friend,

Thanks for the kind feedback. We will report to the product manger for assessing about that.

Best regards

Is the adapter powerful enough to drive PT-202?

Is the adapter powerful enough to drive PT-202?

There are 4 impedance version of PT-2021 - this particular pair is the 32 ohm version and thus not difficult to drive at all. The other impedance version are 147, 257 and 365 ohm.

Appreciate your insight again.

Have anyone notice that the UTWS3 sounds a lot better with the Bluetooth volume on the host device set to maximum then using the internal volume control on the UTWS3 instead? It's starting to make sense that Fiio max out the host device volume settings.

Issue is, the 26 steps isn't fine enough for my UERR.

I believe this tendency applies to all BT devices. I read about this back in the first launch of ES100

@FiiO @FiiO Willson Finally got my UTWS3 today from Amazon US and... I think they're bricked. I immediately followed the firmware update instructions after unboxing them and was able to successfully flash UTWS3L from V0.2.45 to V0.2.46. I repeated the same procedure on UTWS3R and the progress bar was stuck on full with no confirm nor cancel button in the update UI. Panicked, I closed and re-opened the app. Tried power-cycling the adapters, case, my phone, tried a reset, etc. all to no avail. I even tried doing a local firmware update using both the V0.2.45 and V0.2.46 bin. It'll let me connect to the UTWS3R via the FiiO Control app just fine and will show it as running V0.2.45, but it won't let me flash any firmware (the UI always hangs per previous) and I can't actually use it for any media. Super frustrating.

In your phone's bluetooth setting, are you connected to the right earbud? This exact thing happened to me when I flashed. I had to disconnect from the left bud, reconnect with the right bud before going into FiiO app and flashing the right earbud.
