Good idea, thanks.
Do you find any noise/hiss of 4G/5G due to it is way too close to the phone?

100, but with the latest firmware update the W2 is already at a new level.

Hey guys. So got my W2 and I'm quite impressed with the sound quality though I have a question. Upgraded to the latest firmware and in some scenarios at medium volume, in certain "headphone modes" the sound gets distorted. It gets like artifacts. It's not EFI, I already know that kind of noise. It's actually in certain volumes, specially in the ie800s mode. Any thoughts?


Edit: cable... Cable ... I was using the w1 cable and found out now that it makes a ton of a.difference

Back to our regular programming

Mmm still getting some... I might reflash the fw just in case... Dunno if that's a solution

I have this as well. Only noticed in bass region where some kicks would turn into some alien UFO sound effect. Decided to just turn EQ off and enjoy the stock sound. I haven't tried it in any other volume than between 35 and 45. sorry if that doesn't help

Thanks man, the main this is that it's not an unknown issue, I bought it second hand and you know how's that. Been enjoying it the whole day. Such a good device, solid sound and truly up there with a couple of daps. Heck. I prefer it over my zx300 with mr walkman fw. I'll give it a few days before I say anything else. Funny cause the w1 uses as much battery as this one. Both are battery hogs

Hey guys, new to this thread not to the Forums - So I own MEST OG - with Stock cable. I own the Fiio BTR5 and is my main DAC/AMP combo. I am considering upgrading the Fiio BTR5 to the W2.

Would I really notice any difference soundwise? Who has this pairing MEST (MKI or MKII) and the W2 and has had the Fiio BTR5.

Not sure the +200 dollar investment ( + sell the Fiio and get the W2) is really get me different or better sound signature.

Any opinion greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

PS: Don't know if there has been a question similar to this in this post, thanks in advance.

Absolutely perfect! Thank you! I ordered it the day you posted and got it today. It fits the back of an iPhone 12-mini so perfectly. I don’t use a case, so the naked back of the iPhone and the magsafe connection of the wallet are strong enough, but I can see it being a little too weak for folks with thick cases or non-magsafe cases.

The W2’s ability to use HID functionality and control the volume with the phone versus the physical buttons is key to this working so well. I tried with a Lotoo PAW S2 and that experience was not very good since I couldn’t adjust the volume easily.

Cheers!

Edit: some poor low-light pictures added; because, otherwise, it didn’t happen…

Got a pretty good leather case for W2 from Taobao.

Awesome glad it worked out so well for you. Looks great on the mini 12 too bad coulda find a L shaped interconnection like below for iPhone.

Be cautious with those last connector "bits". The 180deg usb-c to usb-c is OTG and works great, but not those other pieces, unless specified as OTG. I got a few to make a shorter connection, and it didn't work.

Another thing I found: since the wallet has a hole in the back, if I insert the W2 so that the screen faces the hole, I can quickly detach the wallet to check the screen through the hole (requires a quick press of the function key to wake the screen, which is accessible if you push up the W2 towards the top of the wallet).
