So retail is $80 and you're selling them for $110?

Probably used too as the plastic protector for the charging pins already removed. LOL

Thats what it cost me with shipping. Maybe I got hosed

Well no, they haven’t been used. I took them out started to setup and realized it was the wrong connection. Anyway, clearly ruffling feathers here so I’ll withdraw and just return. Appreciate the constructive feedback

The case of UTWS is so big I could squeeze my extra pair of KS1 iem inside. It's 2 pins version, have to use adapter for Yincrow RW-2000.

I’m considering to buy UTWS3 but there is key feature for making decision that is ambient sound mode.
Is there any update regarding ambient sound mode?
As far as my check, there is some issue so it is not updated the firmware yet.

I had asked this as well and my understanding is they cancelled the test and it is not in the future for this iteration.

I'm selling my mmcx UTWS3 if anyone wants. It comes with my wireless charging mod. (reason = funding other stuff)

Would the fiio control app support custom eq in the future?

We have plans to do this feature, which may take a few months to implement.
As you may be aware, the company's workload has increased considerably recently due to IC stock-outs.

Looking forward to it!

For what it's worth, I got mine working after an excruciating exercise in dealing with the software. The units are nice when they work, but wow are there some software issues that need to get smoothed out.

In case it's helpful for others, here are the issues with my units and how I fixed them.

First, the left earbud successfully updated (to the .46 firmware), but the right earbud didn't update (so it remained on the .45 firmware). That resulted in the earbuds being inconsistently recognized and/or not responding. For instance, the right earbud wouldn't even turn on at points. I think some of that was that there was maybe a charging issue; I brushed the charging pins in the case and on the right receiver, and that seems like it might have helped, although it's not really clear.

I used the FiiO Control app to attempt to update the right earbud. Initially, it would freeze partway through installing the update and shut down the right earbud, but it got a bit further each time. After maybe a dozen updating attempts, it got to 100.0% . . . at which point it said the upgrade failed. I repeated the process, and it failed again. On the third attempt, it finally worked.

Then, I had to re-pair the units. That also took a few attempts. But now they are finally both on the latest firmware and re-paired with each other, so I can use them both at the same time.

I noticed that the issue with them setting the volume to max when connecting to a new source is still present (I thought the latest firmware was going to fix that?), but I'm not messing with them any further until I hear that future firmware rollouts are smoother. It took me several hours to get mine working properly.

Not touching them is the best advice I see so far. Mine pair fine to both iPhone and 5X (android device which has better codec support) but even the most recent version of the FiiO Control App 2.4 (which I sideloaded) gets stuck on the welcome screen ... SoI can't tweak anything... And cant update. Which is according to what you are telling me is risky and a waste of time! So I appreciate your post. Thank you!

Hi
There may be a misunderstanding as your describe

The FiiO Control APP is specifically designed to adapt to FiiO's Bluetooth products. Once you have connected your phone to the FiiO product, you can quickly and easily access more screens

On the contrary, if no FiiO product is connected, you will not be able to access additional functions

This is a useful app for specific users, please understand

Ok, finally got my UTWS3. Managed to upgrade to 0.2.46. I think I have gotten the hang of how volume works, the interaction between system volume and UTWS3 volume, that is. Probably with Tasker I can have it working how I want it to.

On to the bigger problem, though. I have Custom In-Ear monitors. They don't fit in the case, it doesn't close. Quite a let down, to be honest. Does the case charge when opened? Please tell me it does. Otherwise I really don't know how to solve this. I can't plug and unplug the CIEMs every time I need to charge.

Edit: I'm thinking about creating a cutout on the lid, in order to be able to close it... I have a Dremel, don't know what other tool I could use. Unfortunately the top portion of the lid, the part that snaps close (not the base where you insert the adapters), appears to be made of metal and not plastic. It's far colder to the touch than the bottom portion of the case.

Edit 2: from all I can tell, with the case open the adapters don't re-charge. I hope to be wrong but, if not, I don't think this has been the most intelligent choice. For whatever reason I might want to have the case in front of me, on a desk, and don't want to be bothered closing it and opening it every time. Even more so if you consider the adapters turn on and connect only when taken out from the case.

Very unfortunate that the top of the box is metal

What do your headphone look like? Can you swivel the headphones to fit in?

Hello @FiiO @FiiO Willson - i've got a question regarding the UTWS3.

Is there any disadvantage in keeping the volume fixed on the UTWS3 and adjusting the smartphone's volume? Will I be losing any sound quality/fidelity this way?

Or is there a sound quality advantage when maxing out the smartphone's volume and only adjusting the volume from the UTWS3?

Is there any difference at all?

thanks!
