best of both worlds

i have used the UTWS5 with Timeless (mmcx), Z1R (mmcx), FiiO FD7 (mmcx), and Monarch MKII (2-pin). I will also use on the EDP Ace (2-pin) when i receive them.

also, i have read that 2 pin connectors can break easily, and IMO its easier to replace a $10 adapter than a $130 device that's rarely in stock.
How did the Sony Z1Rs perform with the UTWS5 compared to wires. I am thinking of getting the Z1Rs & the 64audio a12ts to use wired & wireless.

TBH, Z1R wired blows away the UTWS5. with the UT, the Z1R sounds like a regular headphone, nothing stands out. the Z1R needs some power to truly shine. IMO, the qudelix 5k can make them sound good.

one thing that irritates me is that the ambient mode doesn't stay active when the UTWS5 is put back in the case; it is set to 0 when I use them again

its not a HUGE deal, but it is annoying that i connect to my PC, ambient mode is not active, i have to then connect to my phone, then adjust the ambient volume.

Has anyone had any issues with their UTWS5’s hanging up when answering calls or when attempting to switch an active call over to them? (If I answer via the answer button on my phone then change the source to UTWS5)

Also, out of nowhere the volume balance is suddenly off. I have to bias about +5 -5 just to get the output even.. very strange.

P.s. The EQ feature can’t come soon enough.. my Westone W40’s sound so muffled; they really need some treble.

New version? should I be canceling my utws5 pre-order?

Turn on the ambient sound and put into the charging box will form a closed sound loop, there is a whistling sound, so we changed to manually turn on after each time we put into the charging box.

This is a current compromise

Hey with all the rancor I've been reading here, I just wanted to say that I'm really happy with my UTWS5. I'm using the beta version and the ambient mode on triple-click works pretty well for me. Yes it could be better, but I'd rather have this feature the way it is than not at all. Overall, the experience has been great and the unit has been very dependable. Thanks FIIO for a great product, and I look forward to continued improvements.

Anyone at all? @FiiO Willson ?

Are your utws products fully compatible with meizu live quad? (I know it uses the same mmcx connector) I asked, sometimes there are incompatibility issues such as not fitting properly.

We use the standard MMCX, which should be compatible

The problem with the call is somewhat related to the system of the phone.

If it is convenient for you, you can send me a detailed description of your phone model and your problem Video by private message, and I will let the engineer see if there is a solution.

If we have the same phone, it may be easier to solve
