I was really looking forward to this new product, because I am a longtime fan of FiiO, it was thanks to them that I learned what a truly audiophile sound is. At first they were F9, then FA1, then FA7. If you buy FiiO products, you cannot remain indifferent to this, absolutely all owners of FiiO products can confirm my words here. If I remember correctly, I dedicated a review of FD3 lol

Package. The impeccable quality of the box materials, the updated design of the printing, very interesting (visualization of the technologies used in the model appeared). The package bundle is as always...rich as always, but not overblown in quantity, everything you need, including a chic carrying case that has saved my FiiO F9, FA1 and FA7 more than once

Quality of materials and build quality. Guys, this is FiiO, unfortunately or fortunately I have never seen anything of poor quality in the products of this company (packaging, accessories, headphone shells, build quality, etc.), in this case there are no exceptions, everything is flawless

FD3...they turned out to be smaller than I thought, so in my review I took a picture to scale. On the one hand, I personally wanted a larger shell of shells, because my ears can afford it lol, on the other hand, they will fit into 95% of the ears of the target audience, which will also favorably affect their popularity, and I am sure of that

Comfort and ergonomics. Shells are medium in size, about the size of the FA1 and slightly larger than the F9/ F9 pro. The sound guide is long and located at an anatomical and correct angle; sound insulation is obtained at a very high level. Shells have a rounded shape and because of this they are very comfortable and comfortable. The cable is a little solid but feels very reliable. I have never had FiiO cables out of order, so I sometimes buy them separately, for example, the silver FiiO D series is a separate little masterpiece, but I'll tell you about it next time

Sound. I won't write anything about sound at all... lol. FiiO's signature sound signature in the FD3 model continues its life, but acquires new shades and colors, due to new drivers, FiiO's constant experiments with internal cameras and cable materials. All these experiments surprise me every time as a child who is waiting and happy with a new toy

The sound is balanced, with very deep and beautiful bass, I would call them intelligent, sound like a large and very expensive stationary subwoofer. The middle frequencies are outlined, structural and occupy only the position assigned to them, without mixing with the upper and lower spectrum. The highs knocked me off my feet, they sound like a precise and carefully tuned BA. A clear and sonorous sound, but with a comfortable, soft and textured transmission of live instruments and vocals, it's incredible...

Listening to FD3, I once again became convinced that constant 8ing, it is an evolution, an evolution that has not ended. Now, some $ 100-150 IEMs sound like $ 500-1000 IEMs sounded 5 years ago. Someone may disagree with me, but I do not need your consent, I write what I feel. The production of portable audio is no longer just a business, but rather a meaningful production of engineering, tactile and visual art. FiiO FD3 is just an exemplary example of such art, I admire him (or rather, before the people who did it)...

Highly recommend FD3, no matter if you are a beginner or an audiophile with burnt ears...well, you won't be disappointed

Appreciate the small and you will touch the great ©

First impression.
The box is compact, with stylish printing. Presentation is at a very high level. Everything is neat, beautiful. The most needed accessories were put in. It is worth noting that the ear pads are of very good quality. The cable is soft, beautiful and of high quality. Shells are made of translucent plastic (there is also a completely transparent blue version), very reliable in appearance and impeccably assembled. Overall impressions of the package and presentation are very good

Now let's get down to the sad information and what's wrong with these IEM...this time you will not wait)) There are some nuances, but more about them later

Sound.
Having started listening to Summer, I immediately realized that I would have to listen to my entire audio collection, I very rarely do this with new headphones. At first, I was confused by the abundance of high frequencies (not sibilants), there are simply a lot of them, they are not crushed by anything and due to this they simply give out a divine upper part of the range, with all the layers, velvet, the smallest nuances. Oh my..., I heard new shades of my favorite compositions...it rarely happens, it happens very rarely.
The mids are crisp, precise and engaging. Bass?! You hear the bass at the very end. At beginning it seems that there is not enough bass...but after listening a little, I realized that it is there. Bass reaches very depths of my ear. No one frequency is no cannibalized, all frequencies are separated, the scene is wide, there is a strong micro-contrast, but I personally like it

The IEMs are clearly not basshead, I would class them as audiophile. The overall sound is a little bright, but this is done deliberately, in order to enjoy the music and open up its new facets. Drivers are very coherent, the joints are not audible, each of the 3 drivers (piezo, dynamically, balanced armature) clearly plays out its part, but at the same time they work as one friendly team

Summer is omnivorous, you can listen to absolutely all styles of music on them. But styles as heavy as possible can sound lightweight, but if you love the detail of a "chainsaw", not a "jackhammer", then you can safely buy them!

Now for one caveat, if you are sensitive to high frequencies, the Summer data will not hurt you, but perhaps at first they are a little shocking with the abundance of details in the upper register. Otherwise, these IEMs are a godsend for a true audiophile

If you're looking for new experiences and new iems, I highly recommend giving Summer a try. They are definitely cheaper than they give in return in terms of sound

They need a good source, at least a mobile Apm/Dac. Hi-fi player will be able to fully unleash their potential. They are also critical of the quality of the material (do not even try to listen to mp3, universe will not forgive))


To be honest, I will continue to follow the development of BQEYZ, they make a truly great product

I highly recommend Summer to the restless explorers of new sound. Thank you for reading to the end, I will go on to enjoy this little miracle
