Excuse me, are you referring to the Qudelix-5K? My experience is that, whereas I can listen to my UTWS5 when my phone is downstairs and I am upstairs, with my 5K there is no spot in my 2 store property that I'm losing connection, no matter where my phone is. LDAC fixed at 990 in the 5K, aptX Adaptive on the UTWS5. Amazon HD + Qobuz.

yes, that is correct. i have the BT dongle that everyone recommends on my PC and when i walk to the bathroom at work, the brt5 cut out so much i could almost not listen to any music. the 5k has static, but the utws5 has 0 interference.

how does everyone feel about transparency mode? i have been a day 1 user of the apple airpod pros and the transparency on the utws5 does not impress me at all. however, the bluetooth range on the utws5 is much better than the brt5, 5k, and goblue.

I think the transparency mode is pretty good. I had to adjust the ambient volume down though to get it how I liked it.

So, all of you, guys, are running the beta firmware? Are you running it on Android 11? Have you observed any issues?

I've asked so many times, here, when will it become officially available, still no response from @FiiO ...

I'm thinking of installing the beta, as well. Is it possible to return to the latest stable afterwards, if needed?

For me, the 5K has better Bluetooth connectivity.

i thought 1.38 was supposed to be official, but i could never get my iphone 13 to install it. i had to get the .bin file and upgrade the fw that way.

I don't think it is official, even for the iPhone. If it would be official, you would get it via the FiiO Control App.

I find transparency artificial but serviceable when needed.

I'm currently using the 1.38 version on an iphone and I'm wondering if others are facing this issue with the transparency mode. When playing music (with transparency on) the transparency volume shoots up to the max from it was set to when music is paused, skipped or a current track ends.

Also Fiio, in the upcoming update, if there is a way to keep transparency mode off while music is playing, it would be much appreciated.

It happens to me too, volume doesn't work on it. And little sounds are pushed. Though I understand it's a beta phase

I would say you need to clean contacts with alcohol almost every time you put them into the case. 2 times already happened after "charging" I see that first unit is 0% while second is 100%

If everything goes well, the stable firmware will be released at about next week. But the EQ support will not be added in this firmware.
