FiiO Balanced In-Ear Monitors F5 is Now Available！


After waiting for so long time, you may already feel very excited when seeing this title, don't you? Ever since the online launch event of F5, many users started asking us when they can buy F5. Especially after seeing many positive review articles from our regular reviewers and users who luckily snapped up one from the small trial production, the eagerness becomes even stronger with OS: Take my money, lol.



Based on the market feedbacks, especially the reliability of the MMCX connectors, we have improved accordingly for this mass production, so as to make sure the stability. Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but our F5 will sure to not let you down.



F5 is designed to be detachable with MMCX connector and comes standard with a single-ended audio cable with in-line control and a 2.5mm balanced cable which gives the freedom to suit your sound signature preference; more surprisingly, the F5 is Apple MFi certified which enables the in-line remote controls on the 3.5mm single ended cable can be compatible with FiiO’s newer music players such as the X1 2nd gen, the X5 3rd gen as well iOS devices and most Android devices. You can control your music (play/pause/switch tracks/volume adjustment) and your calls without missing a beat……

just received my F5 last week, I feel a little salty when writing this.

My main inear is ER4s which I use for 3 years and always get amazed by its details and built quality. But its sound signature makes me feel a bit stressful sometimes, so that's why I want to experience a soft and wide soundstage IEM.

The phone from Fiio is actually really good, especially its soundstage. This is actually a step up from my beloved ER4S. Its mid is a bit thin, and laid back, so I have to crank my phone volume a little bit more ( - or maybe because I am too familiar to my ER4S sound). I swapped its defaul tips to spin fit tips and its treble gets too pronounced, not its mid, so spin fit is not a good idea.

Unfortunately, when I was enjoying Fiio F5, its sound was cut sometimes when I rotated my head, and there were static noises, come from the right. I unplugged and rechecked the MMCX connector, the right pin from the cable is broken.

I emailed to Fiio technical team (support@fiio.net) to ask for their supports, but there are no replies. I purchased this IEM from Amazon US and took it to Vietnam so not quite possible for me to claim a replacement from Amazon US.

The balance cable is still functional, but I don't have any good DAP at the moment to use it. I may need to replace its balanced plug to the normal 3.5 if I wan to use the Fiio F5 in the future.

Final words:
The broken pin may come from my fault when I tried to plug them together, but I do have experience with those connectors (I am the owner of Sennheiser HD25, Soranik custom and ER4s). I believe Fiio F5 pins are not really well built.

Also Fiio disconnects the inear phone and its cable at the beginning, they should put them together at the first time. I don't enjoy unpluging those connectors apart often because I know they are frangile.

Below is some pictures and sorry for my bad English. Just want to share some of my general impression about its build quality and sound.

Sounds like spinfit bore sizing maybe narrow for the F5.

yes, maybe but I used the smallest size (the pink one). Have you tried them with other tips? I will order some ortofon tips after resolve cable issues for my F5.

Maybe because V-shaped sound is not suitable for metal and rock, I actually enjoyed them with folk, acoustic genres.

 

[SilverEars]

I think rock genre recordings tend to emphasize instrumentals more and vocals arn't the center stage(this of course depends on recordings). I think you want to bump up the mids for those recordings.

I think Jerry Harvey's early tunes were V, and he did make monitors for rock musicians. His TF10 was V sig. Perhaps rock musicians preferred it(maybe works best to monitor instrumentals, and emphasize that part).

Acoustic genres since instrumental, should be ok with V sig. When vocals comes into play, you notice the mids recessing.

How are these with sound leakage in a quiet room?

I have recently had to grudgingly part with EX1 because I could not use either in my office space, and have been looking at Titan 3s as the more closed set.

For office usage I ordered new Pinnacle P2s. With a discount code they are the same price.
I use F5s mostly home.

I'm afraid over-ear is out of the question for me, but thanks.
