Are these IEMis a new breed of earphones or have they always been around? I've seen 2 posts now about these IEMis didn't know anything like this exited unless they're just fancy earphones? Can someone enlighten me.

So this utws5, do you then attach some iem earpieces to the gold end? Can any iem earphone attach or does it have to be the same brand Fiio?

i think every mmcx iem should work perfectly with them

To second this. FIIO has 2 pin options as well for the UTWS5, so you don't always have to get MMCX IEMs (though it's recommended to get the MMCX and the MMCX to 2 pin adapter so you can still adjust the IEM angle).

I am nlt sure what you meant now. But i think the compatibily list if the utws5 is huge

I was just saying it's not just limited to MMCX they offer .78mm 2 pin set as well for the non-MMCX IEMs.

The second part was just that most people suggest getting the MMCX anyways even if you have a 2 pin IEM, because it can still swivel with an adapter (and get a better fit) whereas a normal two pin can't always adjust well enough to fit comfortably.

Say no more I've started researching these now! This will be my hobby for the next few days now thank you! I wish I can stop obsessing about new tech sometimes

i would say with my fh5s i found my endgame. i dont wanna know how much better the FH7 are. the Semi Open back design really helped with the soundstage but still they have deccent isolation. i was walking on the walkway beside a busy road and i didnt hear shit of them while the music was plaiiny. only when the music was off i heard it muffeled
