[FiiO UTWS5] True Wireless Bluetooth Earhooks as Usual,Coupled with Independent AK4332 DAC
Jan 4, 2022 at 9:55 AM Post #633 of 2,559
Just got my utws5's today along with the fiio bta30 pro trans receiver. Hooked up the bta30 pro to a zenstream via USB and the bta shows up as a connected dac in roon. I'm about to achieve my dream of walking around the house/ lounging in bed with my entire roon library on hand. Charge up the utws5's and un pin my moondrop Kato's from their cable.....only to find they DONT FIT. The kato's pin holes are recessed and won't allow the earhook pins enough travel. Aaarrrgghhhh!
Hauled out my blon 05s' and thankfully they fit. So the dream is working out, just not with the Kato's. Buyer be warned! If your iems have recessed connectors, you might have a problem. Asides fom this considerable hiccup im pretty happy with the utws5.

How long are the pins on utws5?

Is anyone here using the UTWS5 2pin with the MoonDrop Blessing 2, Dusk? Does it sit/fit fully on it? How is the sound quality?

I have the Moondrop Variations and running them with the MMCX to 2 Pin adapter on the MMCX FiiO UTWS5. Absolutely loving it. Been going back between the Variations and the Fiio FH9.

do these not come in 2 pin connectors?
They do. I just opted for the MMCX and adapter for more flexibility. Also, the 2 Pin version doesn't always fit the recessed 2 Pin IEM very well.

Thank you for your reply :)

Actually, I meant to ask about the 2-pin variant of the UTWS5, I've edited my post, above. I already have the MMCX but what I am actually wondering is, how well and if, the MoonDrop Blessing 2 Dusk would fit on the 2 pin version. Are the Blessing similar like the KATO, when it comes to the connection?

And, which adapter are you using? How does it sit behind your ear, compared to without it?

same here, even though the majority of my IEMs are 2-pin.

May want to get the MMCX and the adapter. For my Moondrop Variations it's a muuuuuuch better fit. They kept slipping out of the 2 Pin Fiio adapter because they have that ring at the bottom. What a dumb design IMO. Love the adapters though. Have them and the TW2 and couldn't be happier.

Just saw this and had replied above to someone else. They did fit with my Moondrop, but because it's recessed, they didn't go all the way in and flush. My right bud just kept slipping off. I returned the 2 Pin version and now use only the MMCX version with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XKWJK6T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pretty sure all the Moondrop IEMs are 2 Pin and slightly recessed, at least the ones I've tried.

I had contemplated the Blessing 2 Dusk for a darker signature but went with the Variations for more sub-bass. Couldn't be happier. Plus they fit me like a glove even with the little adapter which added a few millimeters of length to the Fiio adapter.
