[FiiO UTWS5] True Wireless Bluetooth Earhooks as Usual,Coupled with Independent AK4332 DAC

Environment mode has been tested OK, will soon push the upgrade via OTA :L3000:

EQ adjustment has been tested and qualified, and will be implemented via OTA update soon! :L3000:

Woo! Qi, environment/ambient mode, and EQ adjustment, now I'm getting excited!

I know I've mentioned this a few times, but is there a plan for either multi-point or fast switching? If they at least have fast switching, I'll be all set. That was my main blocker on the UTWS3.

Explanation on fast-switching: Without manually disconnecting from the current device, you can send a connection request from a second, previously paired device and the adapter will disconnect from the current device and reconnect to the new device. This makes swapping between devices seamless. The Pixel Buds work this way and also IIRC so do the Galaxy Buds2. I use a laptop for video calls in the office and my smartphone when out, so I frequently need to switch devices.

This would be a serious competitive advantage over not just other TWS adapters, but even many popular TWS buds.

I purchased from the "Soundcolor Audio Store", they already had 8 units sold so I assumed they have stock ready to ship. When I purchased the UTWS3 it was from the "Global HiFi Store", which did ship very quickly too (within a week to the UK).
That is the one I ended up picking as well. Let's see how long it takes from china!

I'll try to remember to post here as soon as I receive it, just to let people know the likely UK shipping time (though with all the crap going on it's still likely to be extremely variable... I have another package sent from the Netherlands (not audio related) to the UK with UPS which was ordered in late July... I'm still waiting :frowning2:

Just FYI, HifiGo is taking preorders now as well.

I really need to find a transmitter for my computer that uses APTX Adaptive because the lag is too high for normal aptx and the adapters don’t support aptx low latency. But no audio transmitters exist for aptx adaptive.

Does the Fiio M11 plus ltd support aptx adaptive?
Sorry M11 Plus LTD can not support aptX Adaptive, you can enjoy aptX HD with M11 Plus LTD :L3000:

Ordered the FiiO UTWS5. I hope this adapters sounds nearly as good as the Qudelix 5K. If they does, i am really happy. :)
I think that's a bit unrealistic... but they should sound much better than the UTWS3 and every other TW cable currently on the market 👍

Based on my usage for a few days, I would say UTWS5 is about 95% of BTR5 via Bluetooth. It is not going to match a dedicated DAC and a lossless connection.
