Guys, my W2 arrived an hour ago, hooray.
First of all, the good news: no or negligible EMI at all (iPhone 12 Pro, wifi, cellular network), so twice hooray, I'm excited (with my iPhone, S1 and balanced 4.4 Penon cable it's a huge problem), buuuut ....
Second, the bad news: at higher volumes (approx. 70+ at HIGH, approx. 80+ at LOW) the music is interrupted (every second or shorter, it depends on volume). If I set a lower volume, everything is fine. It depends on the cable I connect to the iPhone, the stock W2 cable is the best of all 3 (the second is Penon USB-C to lightning (approx. 65+ on HIGH, approx. 72 + on LOW) and the third and worst is the Lotoo stock S1 cable (approx. 62 + on HIGH, approx. 67 + on LOW).
On my MacBook, everything seems to be fine, nothing what I described is happened.

Any ideas? Does anyone have the same problem?
Would anyone try it with iPhone?

Same phone, no interruptions with Qobuz, Deezer, Amarra apps. What apps are you using?

Maybe power draw? I have not received mine yet but I wonder if at high volumes the W2 tries to draw too much power from some devices...

Looks like it. Any other solution than lowering the volume?

Tidal on both devices (iP, Mac) and Solaris 2020 IEM.

Y Lightning adapter with extra power bank but am wondering if that is really the reason - see other posts from other users and myself

Try another app with local files, or just YouTube to see if it’s app-dependent. And restart your phone.

just some idea: I sporadically get warning from IOS that I am hearing too long and too loud and IOS is stopping the music then - no joke, but this message is supposed to be there then out of Apple Health

In any case, connected Apple magsafe charger did not solve the problem...

ok, then I think it's more software-related anyway. I remember such hick-ups only from Uapp on Android.
With S1 before firmware update with MQA files but for W2 these should look like normal Flac files

Apple Music, YouTube, restart phone, nothing did not solve the problem.

Anyway, thanks guys...

Haven't tried myself but do you have Apple standard Camera Connection Kit adapter and attach W2 with USB from there?
Do you have another IPad or Android phone to verify there?

Unfortunately I have none of that. Anyway, on a Mac is everything fine.

I am still hoping they will release a firmware update similar to S1 UAC1 mode support for Windows 7 computers.

On my girlfriends iPhone 11 is the same problem.

Guys, hello. I've never been into "portable" hi-fi stuff, always used home DAC+AMP+Full-sized setup and for outdoors I've been using TWS. Today I've decided to try it and ordered W2, so now I'm looking for IEMs to match it. Is there any point in buying anything above 500-1000$ for W2 or it will not reveal their full potential? (Not planning on buying DAP for them anytime soon)
