Just curious when FiiO is moving to build the bluetooth/DAC/amping parts into their headphones so we're finally done with all this loose stuff that can only break down. Certainly their latest models are tiny enough to expand them to normal size again, allowing fantastic ergonomical support by the ear, and having enough space for the electric components. I think I'll be holding off until they're truly wireless. It's almost 2022 and many have gone there before. I'm actually having a very touch time moving away from my Sony WF01000XM4 to much better sounding IEMs (should be easy!) because of the ultimate freedom they deliver with incredible battery life and comfort at the same time.

Yes, in fact we are currently making more HiFi TWS headphones, I believe 2022 will be available and make everyone happy

I hope it will have a user replaceable battery. Otherwise we don’t want to spend a few hundred dollars knowing the battery will die in 1-2 years.

I haven’t seen any TWS with replaceable batteries. Is there one?

UTWS5, I bought it.I'm not very good at English, so I'll use a translation, and this is my first time posting on this site, so there may be some mistakes.
I have a few questions.
1, I heard that the 2-pin connector will be replaced by the UTWS3 one.
Is it possible to see a picture or something? I'd like to check if it works with my earphones.
2, Can I update the firmware from the iOS app?
I heard that it is not possible to do this with UTWS3.
3, It looks like only the MMCX model is available for purchase on AliExpress right now, is the 2pin model delayed in shipping?

Not really, the life of lithium polymer batteries are the same with cell phone batteries, is relatively long, do not worry too much

2, Yes, you can upgrade the firmware via iOS

Thank you for answering.
I will buy a conversion adapter and wait for it to arrive.

That will depend on the bend of the adapter and what the original cable that came with the IEM bend is like. Also the shape of the IEM I guess..

For my IE8i the original cable's connector was quite long, although it was straight because there was no earhook. I got an adapter that has a slight bend to use with UTWS3. Worked out quite nicely

MMCX is really nice as an adapter as it can rotate. So if the angle is incorrect horizontally you can always rotate it. I would say angled adapter really helped with making it fit with the UTWS5 earhook.

Hi, can you show some pictures and how they fit in the case?
I just bought the utws5 mmcx version for my moondrop Variations (2pin). Now im trying to understand which mmcx to 2pin adapter should be a better match, the L shaped one or the straight one. Thanks!

Here you go. The IEMs are IE8s but you get the general idea on what kind of adapter you'd want. I would say you want angled adapters for most IEMs that don't have a stem on the IEM.

Thanks a lot.
By stem you mean a protuding extension on the iem for the 2pin connection?

I have moondrop variations, if i understood correctly, the angled adapters would fit better.

Yes, if the 2pin is not sticking out too much, you will get really good adjustability with an angled adapter. And it will fit inside the case.

The 2 pin input on the Variations is of the “recessed type”.

If you find an adapter that supports recessed 2pin it should be fine unless the IEMs are really big

Yep, recessed adapters are foundable.
Point is that Variations are on the big size.
Can i ask you one more favour to measure (roughly) the dimensions (also depth from cover to bottom) of the iem space in the case?

Roughly 30mm length 30mm width where the IEM is supposed to rest. And 25mm diagonal top right to bottlm left, 40mm diagonal top left to bottom right.

Depth is roughly 20mm, hard to measure with a caliper.

FiiO staff might have exact measurements available?
