here is another test.
4 hours and I hear the battery low on the left unit.
please tell me if I need to contact my local distributor to get a replacement.

@FiiO Willson any updates on this?


@FiiO should I get a replacement or not?
is having only 4 hours of play time on the left unit a normal thing or is it a defect?

I have a Samsung S20 5G phone and just recieved my UTWS5 and am enjoying the heck out of them paired with my FH5 stellar combination for music.

But I am having the UTWS5 occasionally not work controls wise. I will pull them out of the case and they won't start music like they are supposed to or stop music if I manually start it from my phone and other button combinations also won't work.

To get them working I have turned them off and on once, and had to reset them once. Is this correct way to resolve the issue?

Fiio, will there be an update to the FW addressing these types of issues?

Also wish the app had an EQ, but have to say so far for me it isn't necessary as these drive the FH5 to perfection.

Hello everyone, first of all sorry for my English, I wanted to know if two utws5 can be used with the same device (mobile phone)

I have one attached to a Monarch MKI and would like to purchase another to attach to an IMR Astra Ultraque.

Do you know if it could? Would you have connection problems? Has anyone tried it?

Thank you all for your responses.

Anyone tried these with Timeless?
Yes, me, I am have my 7Hz Timeless hooked all the time with my UTWS5. They play very nicely and I am wearing them all the time, after work. They can play much better on my Qudelix 5K, with a good cable and the SpinFit CP100+ , I am currently using. And, they can play superbly on a good headphone amp/dac

Thanks a lot. I already have hipdac for using these at home. Looking for a portable solution. Or for watching TV at midnight without disturbing others.

Anybody uses these during workout? I'm considering mine to be used with Tinfi T2 or I think HBB mele that I have literally never used after buying and considering using them for workouts!
I've used them on the treadmill just fine. As long as the IEMs you're pairing them with fit well, you shouldn't have any problems.

Dear friend,

Does the issue remain after reseting the UTWS5? We will report to the engineer to test and try to reproduce the issue first.

Best regards

Dear friend,

It seems to be abnormal if the left unit could only work for 4hours after fully charged. You may contact the seller about that first. If the seller fails to help, please contact us again with the receipt attached. Thanks in advanced!

Best regards

Hummm...coincidentally I notice something like that yesterday...my L was 10% and the R was 80% after spending the day on a fully charged case.

Also @FiiO @FiiO Willson when you have the firmware release, will there be a way to toggle transparency mode from a button press?

EDIT: Never mind I lost that someone posted this in the thread like 10+ pages back, but triple clicking the right earhook toggles transparency on and off. WOO. These are damn near perfect now.

The transparency mode is very artificial compared to the Shure adapters, but its good enough for me.

Thanks!

how does everyone feel about transparency mode? i have been a day 1 user of the apple airpod pros and the transparency on the utws5 does not impress me at all. however, the bluetooth range on the utws5 is much better than the brt5, 5k, and goblue.

Excuse me, are you referring to the Qudelix-5K? My experience is that, whereas I can listen to my UTWS5 when my phone is downstairs and I am upstairs, with my 5K there is no spot in my 2 store property that I'm losing connection, no matter where my phone is. LDAC fixed at 990 in the 5K, aptX Adaptive on the UTWS5. Amazon HD + Qobuz.
