Sorry to be a bummer, but the amazon cloud file is down, looking forward to it, as soon as the link or the files are fixed.
Please try again now. And can you receive the OTA notification after connecting to Wifi instead? Thanks in advanced!

Best regards

I'm glad to hear that EQ is being considered for the UTWS5. Will the EQ profile load directly onto the device or will it based in the mobile app only? Thanks!

After adjusting the EQ(will be added in later firmware update) for UTWS5 via the FiiO Control app, you will be able to use the EQ even when using other APPs.

Sounds good. Tbh, it seems like a perfect pairing with the FD5. I hope you can find a way to sell the UTWS5 domestically within the US haha

No OTA from the app, had to download the file, it seems like I was facing some sort of bug, fw update goes to 100, then the earpieces restarted but the app remained stuck
Oneplus users in oxygen 12, change to aptx before updating so you don’t face the same problem please

Now I’m on 1.4

1. After clicking online update option from setting-Firmware update, can the new firmware prompt show?
2. Can this video help:
1:35 How to enable LHDC Bluetooth codec?

Or what information would you receive when enabling LHDC in the Oneplus mobile phone?

Best regards

Yeah, I’m doing it from the developer options menu, though it doesn’t switch, it goes back to aptx (since adaptive aptx doesn’t work on oxygen 12 with the utws5 properly, it just lasts for a few seconds and then it shuts off comms with the earhoooks) i think its understandable coming from a beta version of lhdc and more since oxygen os its full of bugs lately, hope that others wont have the same result as me and will enjoy from the new codec asap

Thanks for the kind feedback. We will report to the engineer and see whether we could reproduce the problem.

Any bugfixes regarding random reconnect to the PC / Smartphone while hooks are charging in the case? This is really annoying bug. They can reconnect after 5 minutes I put them into case or even after 1 hour. Of course case is on the table, I'm not shaking it or whatever. Just very random issue, forcing me to turn off bluetooth on my devices to avoid this.

Excellent! It works Fantastic! Thank you, @FiiO !

I was not able to update online (OTA) but I downloaded the bin on my phone and it works great!

Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro, Android 11, MIUI 12.5.5, LHDC_V3, 900kbps fixed --> 7Hz Timeless
Tested with Amazon Music Unlimited, Qobuz, YouTube. They all sound awesome! Bluetooth connectivity remained the same in my property. I leave my phone downstairs, in my office and go upstairs and it keeps the connection steady, besides a few spots in the bathroom. The only glitch that remains is the phantom banner I've described in this post. Also, I did not have time to check the charging level inconsistency.

Thank you, @FiiO :) :)

EDIT: Small inconvenience I've observed: UTWS5 keeps defaulting to aptX Adaptive. I'm setting it to LHDC, listening, then putting it back inside the case. After taking it out again, it defaults to aptX Adaptive and I have to enable LHDC again in Bluetooth, and also setup the fixed 900kbps in the Developer settings again. I've also unpaired it, it's the same. I'm not sure if this has something to do with my phone. I'll investigate this further, later.

Big thanks for LHDC!

UTWS5 was sounding good on aptx adaptive, but now it sounds amazing! Scene is much wider now, much more air. Music is full of accents that wasn’t there on aptx adaptive. Now it sounds like is sounds wired. So big step forward. It is pure joy :)

My setup: Poco F2 Pro + UTWS5 with Shure Aonic 4 (LHDC v3, 900 kbit/s)

Hello, happy you are enjoying it, and I agree with your observations! Since we have the same smartphone, does it remember the LHDC setting on your phone? Because my UTWS5 defaults back to aptX Adaptive each time I put it back in the case, and I need to enable LHDC in Bluetooth again, and also go into Developer settings and set it up again.

Hi. Same here, each time I go to bluetooth settings to turn on lhdc. But I can forgive inconvenience because it sounds amazing.

So here's a (probably) dumb question. I'm listening to my UTWS5/iBasso IT07 system from a FiiO M15. Volume is adjustable on both devices. How will I get the best sound quality -- max M15 volume and then lower on UTWS5 as needed, or vice versa (or some in-between alternative)?

My assumption is that I should max the M15 since reducing volume in the digital domain 'steals bits'.

Perhaps this is it just a silly question and it doesn't matter.

BTW, OTA update didn't work for me from the M15 -- FiiO control crashed every time I tried. But downloading and 'Local Update' worked like a champ -- thanks!
