The battery is not great to start with at 8 hours (I assume at 50% Vol) it will tank with LDAC etc at "normal listening Volume range" which is 70-80% on most earbuds for me if outside.
Batteries store electric energy so you don't have to plug into a dedicated power source.

What has that got to do with anything I said? 😕
It means you are not forced to use LDAC. A lower level codec will offer better battery life than LDAC. Besides, 8 hours battery life is pretty common on TWS - IIRC, Apple airpods pro and Sony WF-1000XM4 offers similar runtime on normal use in a single charge. If you really want a lot more runtime, obviously a TWS setup is not going to suit you.

Are you totally clueless (my last question was rhetorical) but this one is not?

FiiO is about sound quality and they have 8 hours at 50% Vol with lowest form of Codec so AAC/SBC, I would gather the selling point is the new Hi-RES codecs and the hope they add LDAC mentioned above which will give you even less esp. as no doubt 50% will not be that loud.

5-6 hours or such on any buds today no matter how good they sound is less than ideal IMO and that is without LDAC and say 70-80% Vol.

Earloops are larger so normally have more battery but I get they have a lot of chips inside these.

I do not need a lecture from you as to what I need or do not need as I do have a clue and the Sony XM4 were poor sound wise IMO and many her eand the battery did not even last that long esp. on one bud for many here.

I have more than one pair aptX Adaptive buds that have 10-15 hours and sound better than the Sony XM4 or L3P's or Edifier Neos did. again many here bought them and felt the same.

I just received a pair of UTWS5 yesterday and have been playing around with it. It's paired with the FH7s and an iPhone. When I am running Amazon HD, I noticed that the playback is only 16 / 44.1, whereas the track can be up to 24 / 96. When I am running AirPod Pros, it seems to play at least 24 / 48. Curious to know of this is a limitation from iOS or if I am missing something in the settings?

I've played around with the FiiO app, but its pretty barebones in terms of the ability to customize settings.

I cannot help you with your query, sorry, bur can you please-please tell me how does it sound to you? I will be using a similar setup with the FH5s on my Android phone and Amazon HD. Also, how far away from your phone can you receive a good signal?

I would assume AAC may have a higher bitrate on your iPhone+Airpods but not sure as do not own Apple products.

To get 24/48k on Android Amazon HD needs at least aptX-HD (24bit) which aptX Adaptive (24bit) does not fall back to so for Android users it will be aptX (16bit) if the phone does not support aptX Adaptive.

Amazon does not have a dedicated driver to bypass the 48k hard lock on Android so even if LDAC it is 24/48k, unlike PowerAMP and USB Audio Player which can by pass this for local files.

Ambient mode is planned but has not been added to UTWS5 yet. Last official words are that we will get it in a few weeks if nothing goes wrong.

oh, ok, I also read that Fiio was planning to add it - but I thought that had been happening already 😅 Thanks!
