Our purpose is to establish a general characterization of unitary equivalence of such shifts under the assumption that the weights are quasi-invertible. Under further assumptions on weights it was proved that unitary equivalence of bilateral weigthed shifts with operator weights defined on \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\) can always be given by a unitary operator with at most two non-zero diagonals. The paper contains also examples of unitarily equivalent shifts with weights defined on \(\mathbb{C}^{k}\) such that every unitary operator, which intertwines them has at least \(k\) non-zero diagonals.
