I'm curious, do the pins fit well or is there any wobble? In the picture it looks like the pins don't insert the whole way due to the CNC plate... Also, do the dusks fit in the charging case?

I have been wondering if I should get the mmcx version with a mmcx to 2pin just incase.

I think the pins are long enough to prevent wobble. They definitely fit in the case.

Ambient mode now accessible for iOS!

I just confirmed that the new FiiO Control app that was released yesterday supports control for “Game Mode” and “Ambient sound” on the UTWS5. Ambient mode is surprisingly sensitive if I crank the volume.

Don't see these functions yet available for Android. @FiiO Willson would these features be available for Android soon?

If you’re on Android you can already request the beta firmware from @FiiO – I requested the beta firmware but I couldn’t actually control the new features with my iPhone until this update.

Hmm, how did you get firmware update to 1.38? I just got new app and am on 1.3 and it says I'm on latest firmware

Does ambient mode work when paused now?

Edit: After mashing upgrade it seems to be updating now! Exciting

Edit 2: It seems to have downgraded me to 1.1 and won't upgrade again saying I am on the latest firmware - surely a bug? Any ideas what's going on @FiiO ? Could you possibly send me a bin file of whatever is the latest (beta) firmware?

@FiiO Willson @FiiO is it possible to get the beta firmware for the UTWS5 please?

Thanks

In my limited experience, it seems when I hit pause that ambient mode gets muted for half a second and then returns. I haven’t timed it to see how long I can use it while paused, but I imagine it’s set by the “timeout” option? E.g., 5 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.

“Game mode” feels slightly more responsive as well (maybe going from 100ms to 20ms latency let’s say), but I barely tested that feature.

Love the UTWS5!

i would be all over these if they had ldac or apthd that worked with the M11 ltd

mine is having problems even connecting to my phone...again. i'll just have to wait for the update.

Oh wow, whacking up ambient mode to full is bizarre, it’s like my ears are augmented and in a pub setting when the bar staff start bashing something for some reason it’s absolutely TERRIFYING.

It’s so weird hearing the world in real time through the mics. Shame they aren’t higher quality but it’s still very interesting and trippy. I feel like god damn Spider-Man.

The 1.38 beta firmware could be downloaded via this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iwEznpCSwoG_r-jFJJ5OKcJGo8C6bV6T?usp=sharing
And you could update the firmware via the 2.8 version FiiO control app.

Best regards

I tried updating my fiio control on my IOS (iphone 13) but it still shows version 1.3. Nothing has changed, no ambient or game mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

FiiO Control app should be 1.1.4 – once you have the updated app you can download the .bin firmware file that @FiiO provided above and manually update your UTWS5 to this beta firmware.

I’m not able to connect Fiio Control App (1.1.4 ios) to UTWS5, been disconnecting/reconnect and re paired multiple times, but the app just prompt me back to the device selection.

Any solution?
