Make Any Headphones Wireless! Fiio UTWS5 Review / Hacking

Make any headphones wireless!? Sounds a bit too good to be true doesn’t it? Well, maybe. This is a review and my experience with the Fiio UTWS5, a unique little set of wireless dac/amps that are really meant to be used with IEMs. However, they do put out a decent amount of power, and they CAN drive full-size headphones that aren’t too demanding. Are they end-game when it comes to sound quality? Of course not, but they do work, and I could see some people taking the convenience over quality in the right circumstances.
