So when will the UTWS5 will be updated to get LHDC 900Kbps? I see its sister product the FW5 have it, and using the same QCC5141 + AK4332 setup as UTWS5.

Dear friend,

We have reported this feedback to Qualcomm and LHDC. Currently, the support of LHDC are still trying to solve this issue.

Best regards

I went back on a Redmi note 10 pro and I can confirm that it keeps the 900kbps setting going in and out dev options, and I can hear a tonal shift when switching to another bitrate, these things are not happening on a xiaomi pad 5. I cannot tell for sure if the higher bitrate is effective (old ears) but I think it could.

And you are using utws5 for the output? Because no phone could keep 900 kbps setting or some could but it was no sound after this. And this was with many poco, xiaomi, oneplus and nothing phone i have tested. Only Mi pad 5 could keep 900 kbps setting and there was playing, but there was no tonal shift as you say so i believe it's fake .

 

[potix]

Yes. I can set 900kbps on pad 5 but when I exit dev options and go back in, it reverted the setting, and as you say I can't hear any bitrate switch. On the note 10 pro it works.
Late tonight or tomorrow I will try a curve with pumped treble on wavelet

On OxygenOS13 lhdc still not working

On OxygenOS13 lhdc still not working

looks like oneplus with their oxygen os is not from the bunch of brands that wants to support lhdc. For me it's like some competition going on between some brands. So if xiaomi is fully suporting this codec, oneplus don't want to. For us users such things is always a bad thing. And when i upgrade my old oneplus (when it still had its personality) it wont be oneplus. I want to have phone that fully compactible with utws5 and it's codecs.

So my left earhook seems to have died overnight. It can't be manually turned on by holding it's power button, the case indicates only the right one is charging. I've cleared paring as well now, and since then my phone (Pixel6Pro) hasn't been able to find either one of the hooks.
The case itself also refuses to go into pairing mode, no matter what I try.
Contacts have been cleaned on both, and I've charged the case overnight, but as of right now, my UTWS5 is a paperweight. Really frustrating, and I'll have to either use my UTWS3 again, or my BTR3K until I get a solution. I've contacted my seller about the issue, waiting for a response.

Hi, are there any updates on if a newer version like UTWS7 are coming out soon? I'd like to wait for a new model if it's about to release.

QCC5141 platform now has LDAC codec working and some products have it since mid 2022 (source: 52bluetooth). I hope FiiO can test and release an update to fix LHDC and add LDAC. If this become true, then FiiO will have the best product with triple Hi-Fi codecs.

This please. As a Samsung user, LDAC would be great. Please Fiio!

I don't think @FiiO cares about giving the UTWS5 any support anymore. It is an old product in their catalog and they would rather you buy newer products. After some initial talk from them about new software updates earlier this year, they have bee SILENT about it ever since. I'd look to purchasing something new instead of waiting for @FiiO to give us updates.

Unfortunately, this is the reality with most, if not all, Chi-Fi companies.

I sincerely hope that @FiiO will keep supporting and developing the UTWS5 further because there is nothing else like it on the market.
Please, @FiiO listen to your customers

I really hope we can get a new firmware update this year
