LDAC is in plans to implement?
It would be great if with pause transparent mode could turn on automaticly.
BTW UTWS5 sound amazing with Tripowin Olina
Best regards

Hi, has environment mode (hearing through the mic) implemented and released yet on UTWS5?

 

[GhalMaraz]

Yes, but only in beta firmware. There is link to file in this topic.

Hello
LHDC is implemented and currently in final testing,Will soon begin internal testing

EQ has not been completely finished, it is not perfect yet, and we are working hard on it.

Are you able to give us a sneak peak of what to expect for EQ?
Would it be similar to the BTR5? Or different?

Okay, this is getting really annoying.
1. After I put utws's into case they keep reconnecting to PC or smartphone and I need to turn off BT for both PC and phone.
2. Not enough place for even Fiio FH3, I need to twist both FH3s so they can fit and case closed each time.
3. Main and worst issue - left or right utws charging for a random amount, like left for 46% and right 100%. I tried to use battery safe mode. So today left utws charged for 67% and right for 85%. Tried while case connected to charging cable and without it. Each time both led lights are breathing, means utws's are charging.
4. BTR3, BTR5 and UTWS5 are never connects automatically to Fiio music app (Android 10),each time I need go to Fiio music options and connect them manually.

Started experiencing loud "crackling pop" sounds randomly. Not sure what's causing it but it's super unpleasant and hurts my ears. Anybody else experiencing this at random? It usually happens when I'm listening to music on my bed.

@FiiO @FiiO Willson any idea what could be causing this?

Same. Forgot to mention it previously

Personally, the issue I see is that the earhooks do not appear as 100% charged, even after they are left overnight inside the fully changed case. Also, after the latest Control App update, my UTWS5 does not automatically connect after opening the App, like it used to do.

@FiiO , @FiiO Willson , when will the latest firmware become available? In one of your posts you said that it would be available last week...

As much as I like FiiO products, I wouldn't count on their timelines.

im playing with the idea of sending back the UTWS5. my biggest gripes are 1) the microphone placement behind the ear doesnt elicit the best vocal transmission and 2) transparency mode stops when media playback stops.

i carry my airpods pro, qudelix 5k, and cayin RU6 with me every day to work. the APPs are the most seamless when connecting to my PC, taking phone calls and listening to music. cant beat the transparency mode. i think APP2 will be an insta-buy for me. I get told a lot when using the UTWS5 that they cant hear me talking; the mic level is set to almost 100% in the FiiO app and on my PC. i am told that the 5K has the best voice quality.

also debating returning/selling 5K + RU6 + UTWS5 + Mojo 1 and buying the Mojo 2.

That is such a strange implementation but it is BETA after all so I wouldn't expect it to work in the way that we would expect with an official release. And if that is FiiO's intended implementation, that is a pretty big oversight IMO.

Can you tell us more about your phenomenon?
It would be best to send me a station letter, so we will test in detail what causes it。

Ambient sound mode is still being debugged. We plan to change to keep it on/off as you wish while listening to music.

So far we are not very satisfied either. If the experience is too bad, maybe we will consider canceling this feature

 

[FiiO Willson]

Thanks for the update. That's great news. @FiiO Willson - is EQ expected to work when connecting via LHDC? Do you happen to know if Samsung phones (e.g. S21) support LHDC?

If the Phone supports LHDC and is connected to UTWS5, you can switch EQ through the FiiO Control APP
However, our EQ-enabled software is currently in testing and will only be released later

Why not implement aptx HD that much more mobile phones support ? LDAC i am even not asking. LHDC only supported by such phones as xiaomi and small amout of other models, so seems like chines brand orienting their updates to other chinese brand only. And wider available support in more popular higher bit rate codecs could be benefit for everyone. Now many are stuck at lower aptx at maximum. Not going to buy xiaomi phone to have support for aptx adaptive or LHDC. Except from this utws5 even with aptx codec is best product and sound in their class. I really love it as very musical, fun and hi quality source i use almost each day.

Mainly because of technical reasons, LDAC is currently not available on the QCC series; aptX HD is also not compatible with aptX adaptive.

To be honest, I am also very confused about Qualcomm's operation, they seem to pursue only newer technologies newer platforms, while ignoring the previous technology and the interface with the new technology
