Why can't they release in multiple colors like Black, White, Pink, Blue and Red.

Thanks for the suggestion, we will see what we can do in the nearly future.

Yes, UAT works on any Android mobile phone which can install the HibyMusic app. iPhone can work with AAC and SBC.

Well, that's a deal breaker for me. There's nothing important to differentiate it with most other Bluetooth modules, since I don't need waterproofing. Good luck!

I don't think that was a serious suggestion... was it?? @paruchuribros

It was a serious suggestion. Doesn't cost a lot But gives good feel to users

Ok... I don't know how to reconcile this suggestion with the "toy" comments that are rife online but we'll take all into consideration

It is sadly not an attractive proposition for iPhone users. Perhaps apple will open up full speed Bluetooth on their iPhones to third party developers one day?

Volume control buttons would have been great. Also, may i know what is the output impedance on the 3.5 mm out (important for OI-sensitive iems like Andromeda, Massdrop plus).

Price at Kickstarter Tomorrow, March 5th will be:

Does it come with haptic feedback? Good when tethered to phone and provide vibrate notification.

The $59 units did not last long on Kickstarter. Missed that myself. Now best KS price is $69. "Shipping in May"

It is under one ohm. BTW the headphone driver in the W5 is the ESS ES9218P integrated DAC and amp.

Does it come with haptic feedback? Good when tethered to phone and provide vibrate notification.

The haptic feedback right now is only for things like confirming a press of the touch button, but it should be possible to add this feature via firmware updates.
