    Headphone Measurements: The New Standard, Part 1

    Both are quite good and informative. The ultimate results remain both subjective to an objectively designed source.

    It seems we both have the FH3 and still having the fh5 myself, fiio needed to do something with the FH5. :)

    FiiO FH5 - Quad Driver Hybrid In-Ear Monitors || Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers

    Because of the wide but short nozzles I use large ear tips and this alone made a big difference.

    FiiO BTR3-The World' First Bluetooth Headphone Amplifier, SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC/HWA (LHDC)

    I hardly ever let my battery go lower than 40% for my own use and use auxiliary power when needed.

    I had an older Shure 530 and most any iem newer by a year or or two is better; the newer microelectronics are much better. By fh5 is way better than thre shure 530 which cost almost twice the price at its time.

    [FiiO FH7] Flagship 5-Driver (1DD + 4BAs) Hybrid In-Ear Monitors, Knowles DFK + SWFK Composite BA Drivers, 13.6mm Beryllium DD Driver

    I have the fh5, fh3, and fa7 and the difference is not correlated with the difference in cost or price. I use all three and find that my ears and mind easily adjust within moments to the subtle difference. If price is a barrier the fh3 is a first choice.

    For my use I found that a larger ear tip was more helpful than a longer deeper double-flange tip. I found the short and wide nozzle to be problematic.

    fh5 wide and short nozzle was a problem for some and including myself. but I did find a solution. Fiio seemed to understand the the problem and have since corrected it on newer iem products.

    Finding a good iem is like a finding a good life partner, and what others may have experienced will not be a final verdict. :)

    They are good and I have and still use a set, but because of a short and wide nozzle they are among the hardest fiio iem to fit ear tips.
