First mobility test with ddhifi adapter kit with IPhone and W2 squeezed in back and front jeans pockets passed.
I was tidying in the house moving in different positions, walking, crouching etc with no effect on connectivity, so dead solid.
I have though a question to all W2 users: how are you folding your setup?I was wondering if the bulky new lightning adapter should better point upwards when in pocket so it's not so much squeezed.
On the other hand when putting the IPhone upside down you have another 180 degree twist of your IEM cable, respectively USB-C cable - see pictures...
I am also waiting for Aliexpress 180 degree USB-C adapter which we discussed before - but that one will only work for USB-C players so not with my IPhone
What's wrong with the supplied adapters with the W2?

Unstable, losing connections, you will find many posts here mostly about the lightning adapter.
Don't know about current batches, maybe they improved meanwhile

Just received my W2 last week and using both the dongles supplied to my iphone (L to C) and ipad (C to C) (both black). I guess they fixed it because I don't get that problem. The only problem is battery drain from my 12 Pro Max.

My dream is a rigid 180 degree adapter for iPhone/W2. A backpack/jetpack concept. I have the c to c 180 coming soon, for iPad. But can’t find a lightning option.

The problem is really down to the lightning connector: not quite the most stable connector. Notice you don’t hear as much about the same issues in respect of the iDevices which have moved over to USB C connectors.

So far for me, I don't have disconnects nor dropouts but let's see, maybe wear and tear will affect the cable.

Finally got my W2 back from repair and the hiss is gone!!! :relieved: Took exactly 1 month's time from the time I shipped it out. Spent about $10 to ship it back and forth.

I bought my W2 from huo guang store on aliexpress and did my RMA back to the same store. Seller seems trustworthy based on this. Plus I got the official black cables with it :wink:
