Notification About Changes to FiiO’s True Wireless Bluetooth Amplifier UTWS5​

Since the release of the UTWS5, it has been widely acclaimed among users for its excellent sound quality and continuously optimized software. What's more, we listened to our users' suggestions to further improve the magnetic design and contacts of the UTWS5.



Here are two changes that occurred in the new editions.

1) One of the contacts on the ear hook was moved to the top by making use of phase magnets, which makes it more accurate to locate the position when putting the ear hook back in the charging case.



2) Added notches on two sides of the charging case with corresponding L and R unit markers to avoid scratches.

These changes were based on users' suggestions. Without affecting the performance and functions of the UTWS5, we refined its appearance design. Except for the above minor differences, the configuration, functions and performance of the old and new versions are the same. We hope the new edition can bring you a better user experience.



Best regards,

Guangzhou FiiO Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

Bummer! I've had no such issues. In fact, I've pretty much had no problems whatsoever, except for the occasional miss when trying to use buttons.

I did have such problems with Melomania Touch -- never knew if they would be charged after sitting in the case over-night.

QC problem?

It's been working fine since this post. But it still happens sometimes, say a few times a months where it won't charge or I'd need to keep trying to take it in and out hoping it would start charging. Cleaning it with alcohol helped

@FiiO , thank you for this update, useful changes!

I own 2 UTWS5, both function perfectly. My second one was bought a few weeks ago and I prefer much better that the lights stop pulsing after full charge. I might get another one from the new batch. Do you consider adding the bitrate and codec in the App?

 

[Lobaba]

Noted. I will update if this is resolved well so that others who need to send back for warranty purpose are aware of the challenges involved in sending UTWS5 for repair

Love this product.

I am just wondering if it is possible to integrate Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in future model?

I tried searching but didnt find anything discussed.

Dear Nick24JJ,

No, we do not have this plan. And the Bluetooth codec could be switched via the mobile phone.

@FiiO is there any update on the timing for EQ implementation for the UTWS5?

Dear eswng679,

If everything goes well, the new firmware will be released at about September.

Best regards

 

[andjayik]

how about

FiiO UTWS3 as well?​

 

[Nick24JJ]

Dear Nick24JJ,

No, we do not have this plan. And the Bluetooth codec could be switched via the mobile phone.

Best regards

Just to clarify, I was asking about showing the codec and bitrate in the FiiO Control App. Like for example, LHDC at ... kbps.
In your new firmware, around September, are you going to update your LHDC implementation? So far, it is in Beta version.

It would be a very nice feature if we could set the UTWS5 to turn off completely once put back into the charging case. I think I read somewhere in this thread it stays in a 'semi awake' mode?

Scenario today: Using the UTWS5 for about an hour while shopping. Awesome. Love it. Return to 2018 vehicle that has Carplay via BT & WiFi setup/enabled to an iPhone. Put the UTWS5 into case, put in console til I want to use it again. Receive a phone call on the vehicle via Carplay, all audio working through Carplay. However, about 4 minutes into the call, BT switches and connects to UTWS5 in the case(!)....so I use the iPhone option (bluetooth in use setting) to use Carplay. It switches back, works for maybe 30 seconds....and switches back to the UTWS5 in the case. This goes on several times til I give up, and turn off the iPhone's BT connection, and just hold the phone for the remainder of the conversation. Extremely annoying.

Every BT wireless device (Jabra, Plantronics, Sony, Apple, Anker, Sennheiser, and several of smaller name brands I've tried) since BT4.0, switch off when put in a case, or maybe they're not as aggressive for reconnection. Maybe I missed how others deal with the issue.....comments/solution anyone?

There is no solution. I have two pairs of the UTWS5. One is paired to my laptop. Both of them are paired to my phone. I have to turn off Bluetooth on my phone or close the laptop to avoid reconnection attempts.

Guys, I have a question regarding the functionality of the UTWS5 because I might be missing something or misunderstanding how this works.

With both of my 2 pairs of the UTWS5, I can leave my phone in one room and go to the next room or even upstairs/downstairs and listen to music, without any [significant] loss in sound quality, or disconnections, especially while using aptX Adaptive.

Today, I tried recording a voice clip on the Recorder of my Android [12] phone. I observed that as I am getting away from the phone my voice fades away. And if I will exit the room, it is completely lost. So, what is the range of the microphones? Why is the recording lost when I move to another room? Is this how it is supposed to work? Because when it comes to playing music, I can listen fine even when on a different room/floor, in my property.

EDIT: I've just had a WhatsApp call and it works, perfectly! I left the phone upstairs, went downstairs and the quality + volume of the call were impeccable! So, why is not not working with the Recorder? Is it using the phone's mic when recording a voice clip?
