Each ear hook has a Qualcomm QCC5141 Bluetooth chip, receiving LDAC, LHDC and aptX Adaptive at up to 96kHz\/24-bit, and its own AKM AK4332 DAC and headphone amplifier; the 2025 edition adds contactless wireless charging and a 10-band PEQ. Choose the MMCX or 0.78mm 2-pin version to match your IEMs. It won VGP 2025 Life Style awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-utws5-true-wireless-amplifier-2025-edition-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791342098\" alt=\"FiiO UTWS5 2025 ear hooks in their charging case\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContactless wireless charging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in a FiiO true wireless product, small charging coils inside the ear hooks replace contact pins, so there are no exposed contacts to get dirty or oxidise, extending the product’s life; sweat is no worry. It also allows smart touches: the ear hooks switch off when you put them in the case, switch on when you take them out, and stop charging when full. They play for about 8 hours per charge, and at least 20 hours with the case. Because wireless charging loses some energy as heat, they may feel slightly warm after charging, which is normal. The roomy case protects your earphones and fits a wider range of IEMs attached to the UTWS5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-utws5-true-wireless-amplifier-2025-edition-photo-4.jpg?v=1791149104\" alt=\"Inside the FiiO UTWS5 2025 ear hook with its wireless charging coil\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA HiFi DAC and amplifier in each ear hook\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QCC5141 receives the Bluetooth signal and passes it to a 32-bit AKM AK4332 in each ear hook, a DAC with a built-in headphone amplifier and AKM’s VELVET SOUND technology, efficient and well suited to true wireless use. FiiO’s comparison shows what this architecture adds over the QCC5141 on its own: 110dB signal-to-noise ratio instead of 99dB, 4µV noise instead of 12µV, 0.002% distortion instead of 0.06%, 55mW into 16Ω instead of 30mW, and a response to 40kHz instead of 20kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-utws5-true-wireless-amplifier-2025-edition-photo-akm.jpg?v=1791342104\" alt=\"The AKM AK4332 DACs of the FiiO UTWS5 2025\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-utws5-true-wireless-amplifier-2025-edition-photo-compare.jpg?v=1791342109\" alt=\"FiiO UTWS5 2025 measurements compared with the QCC5141 on its own\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQualcomm QCC5141 and hi-res Bluetooth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe QCC5141’s dual-core 120MHz Kalimba DSP handles several audio streams and complex processing at once, from audio and microphone processing to call noise reduction and EQ.

With Snapdragon Sound phones it receives LDAC, LHDC and aptX Adaptive at up to 96kHz\/24-bit; it also supports aptX, AAC and SBC, and aptX Voice for clear 32kHz wideband calls.
