Phone calls and microphones of the UTWS5:

Either the left or right channel can be separately used for phone calls- single click the button of the ear hook to answer a call, while long press to hang up.
Both of the ear hooks have featured dual microphones processed by advanced CVC noise-cancelling technology. allowing the UTWS5 for clear calls with ambient noise restricted.

Hello Mr. FiiO,

Thanks you for the answer and the explanation. But is it the FiiO UTWS5's mics that are used for the voice or it's the smartphone's mic that are used for the voice when I spend call?

I'ld like to be sure.

The UTWS5 mics are used during a call. Once a bluetooth headset is connected to a phone, it switches its comunication channel to that. Neither the speaker nor its mic are active (the phone's I mean).

Perfectly clear, thanks you.

So I will buy this FiiO UTWS5 with a FiiO FH3, at the same price it's will have better quality sound than the Sony, expect for the ANC or voices assistants, but without ANC, that mean better battery life.

And I will be able to use the FiiO FH3 like classic wires IEM, thing I can't do with thrue wireless headphone.

Hi,
I have a few questions. Thanks

1.) Is the 2-pin version now available in Canada? or is there somewhere I can order it from?
2.) I currently own the utws3 but have issues with the app on my iPhone. The eq adjustment doesn't seem to work and is unresponsive. The sound only changes when switched to one of the rock, pop settings
3.) Is there a sound quality improvement from the utws3, considering I use the iphone which only allows for the aac codec.

Cheers!

Are there any BT dongles that support aptX adaptive? The BT chip in my motherboard definitely doesn't, I think it is BT 1.1 or something.

Yes, but seems like you gotta live in east asia to order it, hopefully it will come up on Aliexpress soon.

It is already available on AliExpress, and this FiiO's official store

That's not an app issue, it's working correctly, they just don't support a custom EQ, only those presets (unless the iPhone app is supposed to be different than Android?)

BT dongle with aptX adaptive, not the UTWS5.

He was talking about the USB aptX Adaptive BT Transmitter.

The story of FiiO UTWS5--From @FiiO Willson

Chapter 2 Is There a Chance for UTWS5 to Support LDAC, LHDC and aptX Lossless?

Regarding what you care about:
At present, it can be said that the UTWS5 is the most powerful Bluetooth earhook model in the HiFi industry. Many users asked whether it would support hi-res codecs, such as LDAC/LHDC and aptX lossless.

To let our users understand our plan more clearly, we would like to make an explanation here. Since the UTWS5 uses Qualcomm's flagship QCC5141 chip, which is currently Qualcomm's flagship programmable Bluetooth chip, quad-core processor system including dual 120MHz audio DSP and dual-core programmable SoC, and supports the latest ADK, it has many chances to upgrade. The actual situation of the 3 hi-res Bluetooth codecs is as follows.

LHDC:
As you all know, LHDC has been successfully applied to TWS headphones. But since it is our first time using the QCC5141, we had to be serious during the R&D process with many tests. We have initially confirmed that LHDC can be applied to the UTWS5, but we still need to further optimize the software.

LDAC:
Since LDAC is still under debugging in Qualcomm's TWS solution, we have not involved it into the UTWS5. If we can make breakthroughs, we will upgrade the UTWS5 with LDAC support.

aptX Lossless:
The UTWS5 supports Qualcomm Snapdragon sound suite of technologies. It is quite excellent at present. Since the aptX Lossless has just been released, and has not yet been widely applied, there is no chip support it. So the UTWS5 does not support it temporarily. If Qualcomm can support aptX Lossless on the QCC5141 platform stably in the future, we will also consider following up.

1. The UTWS5 is on the Way to our Canada distributor. Where to buy: https://www.fiio.com/wheretobuy
2. The EQ function is not supported in UTWS5 currently.
3. The chips of the UTWS5 is theoretically better than the UTWS3's.

Best regards

The battery is not great to start with at 8 hours (I assume at 50% Vol) it will tank with LDAC etc at "normal listening Volume range" which is 70-80% on most earbuds for me if outside.

Codecs are disable-able in the app, except for SBC.

What has that got to do with anything I said?
