FiiO Link TWS houses Qualcomm’s flagship QCC5181 Bluetooth processor chipset. It is one of the first adapters to support Bluetooth V6.0 alongside Snapdragon Sound Technology. For the wireless purist, the format support is exhaustive: the device handles aptX Lossless, LDAC, and LHDC V5 (capable of 192kHz/24-Bit transmission). This guarantees a robust, lag-free connection capable of delivering true CD-quality audio over the air.

Moving beyond standard SOC audio in earhooks, the UTWS17 houses a dedicated AK4333 DAC chipset, bringing AKM’s signature Velvet Sound technology to a true wireless form factor. This implementation ensures exceptional dynamic range and a pitch-black noise floor, essential for pairing with highly sensitive multi-driver IEMs. FiiO has significantly improved the amp section with the Link TWS. The UTWS17 pushes up to 85mW of output thrust at 32Ω, roughly three times the power of FiiO’s previous Bluetooth ear hooks.

Perhaps the most notable physical upgrade is the redesigned charging case. FiiO has completely eliminated the traditional contact pins inside the case, implementing a contactless wireless charging system for the earhooks themselves. The case also now features an integrated display screen for precise, real-time battery and pairing status readouts. On the software side, the UTWS17 fully integrates with the FiiO Control app, bringing a highly requested 10-band Parametric EQ (PEQ) to the table for expansive sound customization, alongside a 32-step volume control for precise output matching. It also features a dedicated Game Mode which has an ultra-low latency of just 74.6ms. This makes the Link TWS an ideal choice for gaming and videos. FiiO bundles both MMCX and 0.78mm 2-Pin connectors in the Link TWS box, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of IEMs on the market.

FiiO has also featured an advanced dual-microphone array on the Link TWS(UTWS17) with 32kHz aptX voice and upgraded CvC algorithms. It ensures crystal clear voice pickup, even in noisy environments. We also have improvements in the battery department here. The Link TWS offers up to 20 hours of total battery life, the ear hooks last for around 7 hours on SBC mode, about 5 hours on LDAC mode per charge. The charging case additionally provides 2 full charges for all-day listening backup. Weighing in at just 8 grams per side and featuring IPX4 water resistance, the FiiO Link TWS (UTWS17) is positioned to be a daily driver for audio enthusiasts demanding uncompromised sound on the go.
