Yep.

Ok. But then the UTWS5 should be bluetooth connected to the little DAC and not to the Hiby R6, i suppose. I have no idea on how then i could connect the DAC (no screen on it) with the UTWS5 (no screen on them). Sorry the newbie question.

Below is how the USB-A version works. Type-C version probably won't be too far off.

Pairing is super easy. The adapter goes into pairing mode if it isn't already paired and will pair to any BT devices nearby that is on pairing mode. Once I 'forgot' my UTWS5 from my smartphone, they just automatically paired to the adapter almost immediately.

I think I want to ask for the taobao link…

Damn... Guess 'll just have to wait for Aliexpress to get the Adaptive adapters in stock :/

Has anyone tested the call quality of the UTWS5? How does it handle a moderately noisy environment, like walking next to a street?

Is anyone using UTWS5 with an iPhone?

Is it playing nicely / overall worth it despite only AAC Bluetooth codec?

Ha! I am a moron. While chasing other specs, I had absolutely thought I remembered the WS3 had Aptx-HD. Mea culpa, was confusing with my Shure BT2 which the Fiio was replacing.

Thanks for setting me straight.

I see the noise floor/etc are improved, and just had it convinced from Qualcomm research that I'd =also= get Aptx-HD from the M15, but, I guess not. So, we're back to how big an upgrade it is for this user... Sigh.

Dear friend,

Both the UTWS3 and the UTWS5 do not support APTX HD. So they could not connect to M15 via APTX HD.

And here is the difference between the UTWS5 and the UTWS3, for your reference:
1, The UTWS5 is the first true wireless receiver utilizing an independent AK4332 DAC. Compared to the previous generation, the amplifier of the UTWS5 has a lower noise floor, high signal-to-noise ratio, and higher output power by 40%!
2, Support Bluetooth 5.2 and aptX adaptive. aptX adaptive not only has a higher speed transmission efficiency, but also a lower signal-to-noise ratio and distortion.High-quality lossless sound is at your fingertips.
3, The charging case is capable of wireless charging – for the ultimate convenience of true freedom from cables.
4, The Bluetooth chip is upgraded to QCC5141
5, Support TWS Mirroring. Unlike TWS+, TWS Mirroring allows for seamless switching between being connected to the main and secondary ear units. This allows for a greater compatibility with various Bluetooth devices, all with lower latency and more reliable connections.

Best regards

Hey @FiiO , when will this become available on Amazon or even on AliExpress? I have placed my order on November 17, and it is still in processing. I've asked the store, on AliExpress, and all they said was: At the end of the month, the factory will ship. Will you?

Can you provide an ETA, please?

I did some basic listening on the iPhone. I am waiting for the transparency mode to migrate from my Shure adapters.

The amount of power they output is unreal. I basically can not turn them up all the way with my FH5 IEMs without worrying about blowing them, or my ears. Sounds fine to me but I'm not good at hearing music quality differences from minor codec changes etc. Anything AAC codec or above in bluetooth basically sounds the same as wired to me, my ears aren't very golden.

I haven't played enough with buttons, single ear use, etc to know how it plays with iphones but I can put some more details in here once I fully switch over.

I’m also interested to know if I should go with the utws3 or utws5 if I’m using it paired with an iPhone. Is the extra price worth the upgrade? Will I get any benefits from upgrading?

This is exactly what I would like to know. I just got the utws3 off Amazon but if thr 5 is worth it (better Bluetooth sound quality) on an iPhone 12, then I’ll return it.

Thank you… but are you sure that Transparency mode is coming?

I thought FiiO mentioned it wasn’t before, or perhaps I am wrong…

Would love more thoughts from you on experience using UTWS5 with iPhone. When you pair them do they pair as one device or separate L and R?

 

[anethema]

I think the main benefit will be the higher amp quality which will have lower noise and claimed 40% more power. I never used the UTWS3 but the 5 gets LOUD.
