The verdict
The Fiio UTWS5 is for those who need to listen to high-fidelity music with the convenience of wireless. However, you're stuck with either 2-pin or mmxc and a short battery life.
✓Liked: Price, Snapdragon Sound, Fit
✕Could be better: Battery life, Single connector option, Bulky case
Owners
How we verify ownersNobody who owns the FiiO UTWS5 has written in yet.
Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
