Customer Reviews
I never thought anything could replace a wired system until I used this. Absolutely superb. Fantastic soundstage, sounds rich. More than enough power to drive my IEMs. Thoroughly enjoying using them. Battery life is pretty decent. For calls, I personally wouldn't use them much as the mic is not great at all. But then this is not the primary purpose of this unit so that's fine.
All in all, a great product. Much needed for those who have a big IEM collection and wish to enjoy the quality of the IEM with the freedom of Bluetooth!
Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and thank you for the great review and ratings!
The UTWS5s are a really good pair of bluetooth modules, endless battery and very good sound quality. I've had no issues with the bluetooth connectivity, and seamless connection every time.
One issue is the comfort, which is not too bad, but also not perfect. I've seen reviews that say a right angle adapter can help this issue, and am now on the look out for this.
Also I wish MMCX to 2 Pin adapters were given in case, but considering how good these are I will have no hesitation to buy another pair for my 2-Pin IEMs.
Another great product offered by Headphone Zone and a superb recommendation from their Headphone Gurus!
We're really happy that you have such great thoughts about the product and thanks for the amazing review!

We're really happy that you have such great thoughts about the product and thanks for the amazing review!
As I write, I am already listening to music on UTSW5. Using this bluetooth adapter with IEM makes a deadly combination. You will get approx similar power to your IEM as compared with wired DAP from UTWS5 adapter which sounds great. It is very comfortable to wear and we can use them for extended periods as well. I am satisfied with this purchase and will highly recommend to somebody who is interested.
Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and thank you for the great review and ratings!
They sound good. But I keep on comparing it will a standard Samsung DAC and I feel like I get better sound on those as compared to these. The separation and all is very good with a standard USB DAC. Also, the transparent mode and microphone on these are pathetic. Yeah, it's not meant for that, but then don't offer it. These, while being very convenient, did not hit me like I wanted them to.
The button on the left side of the device was dead on arrival. I have sent the device back to Headphone Zone and await their next steps.
