Fiio is one of the most recognizable brands in the world of high-res audio, and while its portable DACs and IEMs are highly regarded, the brand hasn't made a dent in the wireless earbuds category. That's changing with the introduction of the FW5; Fiio has dabbled in this segment before, but the FW5 is a ground-up overhaul of the UTWS5, and it includes a host of new features as well as better connectivity and new drivers.
The best wireless earbuds are made by the likes of Bose, Sony, Samsung, Jabra, Google, and other mainstream audio brands, and while Fiio is decidedly the underdog here, it has a rich heritage in enthusiast audio thanks to its IEMs, and it knows how to tune earbuds to deliver the best possible sound.
