Very much obliged Sir Is it a recommendation to use for Meze Rai Penta?

@MannyScoot Год назад

can these push the Ikko OH7 ? ....It's a single DD IEM with 90 Ohm Impedance .....

@krisztianpapp1150 Год назад

I will wait for the Fiio utws7. I hope it will have LDAC. But for sure it will be smaller and cheaper.

@BloomAudio Год назад

It's definitely going to be interesting to see how FiiO tries to one up GO Pods!

@dragonsofnorway Год назад

UTWS5 hav now ldac. I updated the control app and now they have ldac.

@AndriesTom 8 месяцев назад

I hope you are right. However, as FIIO hasn't been able to provide sustainable BT connection for the UTWS3 nor for the UTWS5, the combined loss on those two sets almost pays for an Ifi Go Pod without the desillusion and frustration of the UTWS3 but with higher sound quality. With an M6, a M11 Plus Ltd, a BTR7, BTR3, BTR30 PRO and then an FH something IEM one can hardly say I' m a FIIO hater. But sometimes one has to admit when something just isn't up to the task... I regretted it a lot, given my positive experiences with other FIIO gear. I have ordered an Ifi Go Pod, and probably will replace or complement my Sony WF-1000XM3 with the XM5 or whatever is newer and receives rave reviews. No more UWTS from FIIO for me. Fooled you once...

@h1a8 9 месяцев назад

More secure =/= more comfortable Both are secure ENOUGH . Some say the fiio gets louder. Is that true? Fiio now has a parametric EQ. You can shape the low end to now match the go pods. Imo go pods should be around $200-$250. Not $400. For on the go, difference of sound quality is not noticeable when sound quality is beyond a certain point. For at home listening, then a wired setup with great dac would suffice.

I don't jog or go to gym but I found these TWS modules much more convenient no wires to worry about and they have a pretty long battery life

@njiomonansichristianfreder6374 11 месяцев назад

Wired will always sound best, and no batteries draining to 'worry' about.

@Lead_Foot Год назад

They sound nice but they're kinda flimsy. My first set had a bit of the plastic break off where the two halves of the housing hold together after 3 days. My replacement set had the same thing happen after 1 day.

@KS_1990 Год назад

How is the mic quality?

@BloomAudio Год назад

Our testing on the microphone was limited, but our impression was that it was on par with most TWS mic quality, if not a little bit above average.

@nazreenshah8001 Год назад

Does the transparency mode on par with airpods pro 2?

@Lead_Foot Год назад

There is no transparency mode.

@burgerbassist Год назад

I tried this with the Meze Advar at Axpona and they sounded pretty good, but I couldn't get along with the fit. It fits noticeably differently than the UTWS3/5, and it didn't really work for my ears, personally.

@BloomAudio Год назад

They're definitely a lot tighter than I expected, so I can see how others would have fit problems. Hopefully you can find better success when FiiO inevitably releases the UTWS7

@TechAudioTalks 11 месяцев назад

I have a UTWS5 and upgraded to the ifi Go Pod and I too have issues with the fit. It hurts after like an hour wearing them but I realized as I kept wearing them everyday, they hurt less and less now I can go 2 hours with no pain. I still prefer the comfort of my UTWS5 though

@MrQwertypoiuyty 11 месяцев назад

Good review. But that ifi go pod pro is huge and looks awkward or cumbersome to the user.

@CowboyUp1371 Год назад

The fiio UTWS5's are trash. Has nothing but issues with mine. One of them stops charging and won't connect anymore it's a joke...

@TechAudioTalks 11 месяцев назад

Me too I have bought UTWS5 first version and the second version is no better Now upgraded to ifi Go Pod and no issues with charging yet I't been a week using them daily

@RetroKid 9 месяцев назад

Wait, dont audiophiles bag on TWS because you basically halve the sound quality when going wireless? So making an IEM wireless, doesnt that just turn it into the equivalent of the best TWS...minus all the other benefits, like ANC, transparency and multipoint? So basically, spend just as much as the BnO Ex, B&W Pi7 s2 or Denon PerL Pro, but you also have to provide an additional IEM, and you still just match the sound quality, but with no EQ and with no ANC or transparency? The copium audiophiles have to ingest in order to get a wireless earbud is astounding.

@shreyanshvalentino 8 месяцев назад

this sir, is pure gold! 😂

@kaemelezzine1827 8 месяцев назад

Why not both. If anc is needed get a Sony or air pods. If you fancy hearing all of your music, get iem wireless as well.

@@kaemelezzine1827I'm willing to bet good money that no one who's watched or will watch this video will own only oneb of each. Whether you like the tech, or enjoy describing sound using textures and tastes, everyone watching this video has an audio-related addiction

@dixter1652 4 месяца назад

the elephant in the room.... its the batteries... the case battery, and the ear piece batteries... they aren't user replaceable and when one of those batteries goes dead then that expensive wireless solution is worthless... if they would just put in a user replaceable battery in there then the price would be justified... but they didn't...
