Hey man, thank you for the rec of the Fiio JH3. $39 bucks shouldn't give you this type of fun and musical set. Just enough air and enough low end. The Mids aren't drowned out too much either. I'm glad I went for these... So far you are one of the only people who have really given them a chance. Maybe a couple short reviews on forums here and there but.... Nice I do like the tonality. I have only had them a few hours but so far so good.
Not many impressions but pretty much the same conclusions. A bit of run in and the ends calm down slightly for more mids focus and if you have some tips that give an even better bass timbre they really are hard to put down. Again, fun and musicality need not be related to price point. FiiO did a nice job and no firmware upgrade necessary.
I am burning them in a bit but I like them. I don't think I need to cable swap either, it really isn't that bad. The same cable that came with the Fd3. Anyways, just wanted to give you some props... They are a very nice budget set that replays above its price point... I came to that conclusion after only a couple hours. And yes, I will always agree that it is nice to not need any upgrades
I get it on occasion, but not frequently. I have not gone on walks outside with them or anything yet, but have been outside on the patio. The Noble folks are really responsive via mail and might be worth dropping them a question about it?
I couldn't have said it better if I tried. I haven't owned a Fiio product since the days when they very first got into the hi-res DAP scene (think X1, X3, X5). I actually still have my X5 OG, and X3II, but never use them. They never finished the FW updates to the software before suddenly abandoning them for their first android DAP. The "in house" software programming type of DAPs was over for good, finished or not. Of course, it is just as much my fault. I Bought them knowing they were sort of half baked, even while Fiio admitted they were, but promised to diligently work on the FW as they went.FiiO has a long history with players and things that have software. They need like three versions till they get it right and not a good record of finishing giving things some might want. Waiting on FiiO firmware to address things properly is one scary proposition. Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. I’ll do that when I get a chance. Before now, I had only used them inside. When I used them outside, I was moving around a lot. It could be, because of the sound quality, the Bluetooth connection suffers more than others. I’ll just have to contact them and see what they say.
Man I have had good experience with all Fiio products. I own quite a few of their iems, had a couple fiio Daps and still use my fiio m11 on occasion. I suppose they need to step up their game in the wireless segment and maybe they prob are behind on updates as opposed to other companies but if you think of value for the money... At least for me there isn't many companies that give moreI couldn't have said it better if I tried.

I guess I still haven't forgiven them for that. I don't actively hate them though (regardless of my above paragraph) and have been considering purchasing the UTWSx, as you may/may not know.....
Haven't taken mine outside either, but indoors, I've had the right bud stutter every now and then. Nothing concerning... YET.
You guys are scaring me off! I have an unopened UTWS5 sitting here while I wait for my Shuoer S12. I got the FIIO because every other post in the LETSHUOER thread seems to say that they like a good amp and I figured that was the FIIO. Maybe I should just go with the AZ09 Pros to start?I couldn't have said it better if I tried.

Quite possible. I will try and take mine on the next dog walk and see if it happens more for me. I use mine about the same as you have, primarily inside so far.
I literally just dropped mine off at the Amazon store. Kept the UTWS3 instead. They do not seem to have any of the same issues I had with the 5s. Sorry
AND, I'm using those AZ09 Pro right now. Both the above adapters are great, but for the price, you just can't go wrong with taking a shot with the KZ adapters.
Idk man... That has a planar driver and you might want to check the sensitivity. I don't think the az09 pro will have enough to drive those to full potential. I haven't had issues with utws5 but if you want to rid yourself of concern then take em back. I haven't checked sensitivity on them yet so I don't know for sure
That’s the same experience I had indoors, but outside and actively moving around a lot, it was pretty bad. What I was doing was moving tree limbs out of the yard. Took about a half hour and the right bud cut in and out the entire time.
Ugh, bummer. I'll have to take myself out for a walk and test them outside. I don't have a dog.
