General Information

Features & details
  • [Flagship-grade beryllium-plated diaphragm driver]With JadeAudio's typical flagship-grade headphone technology, the EA1 headphone dynamic driver is made of high-end beryllium, known for being light, thin yet extremely rigid. It brings you a sense of movement and power, shaping majestic sound performances. That means 4 times more rigid than steel, three fourth lighter than titanium,and sound velocity up to 12KM/s.Extraordinary configuration just perfectly matches with you.
  • [Two-way magnetic circuit design,powerful driven capacity]The EA1 earphone dynamic driver is designed with an N50 two-way magnetic circuit having a 55% magnetic flux promotion and nearly 1 Tesla of magnetic field intensity compared with the traditional single magnetic circuit. The double magnetic flux activates forceful driven capacities that enable energetic, robust bass performances and even full and delightful transient responses.
  • [Patented balanced pressure relief technology,for long-time wearing]The beryllium diaphragm coupled with the two-way magnetic circuit design allows improved bass acoustic pressure and deeper bass explosion. Plus FiiO patented balanced pressure relief technology, the pressure is able to stay in a balanced state after precise counting and adjusting.You can comfortably enjoy hi-res music for a long time with no burdens.
  • [Gold-plated retaining ring, stable vocalization unit]The EA1 earbuds is meticulously designed with a gold-plated aluminium alloy retaining ring and sound tube for each unit, beautifying the EA1 and simultaneously providing way stable cavity for the audible unit, achieving incredible sound quality. The loose and atmospheric bass, clearly transparent mids and high-resolution treble, are specially tuned with relatively balanced distributions.
  • [Higher-standard upgraded accessory,4-stranded high-purity monocrystalline copper cable]Included with the EA1 is the cable made of braided Litz wires, 24 cores per strand, 4 strands in a total of 96 cores. Each Litz wire is insulated from each other, ensuring better audio transmission performance under the naturally-occurring yet .

The JadeAudio EA1 is, according to many people, the exact same IEM as sister-company FiiO's FD1 which has received rave reviews, yet at half the price. Others say it is differently tuned, which may be true or it may be simple unit variance. It is one of the recent crop of beryllium-coated DDs that many prize for their speedy response.

The tuning is probably best described as a mild U-shape, which I found pleasing in almost all genres. The upper mids border on being shouty at times, but this is according to personal preference and is not severe at all.

Bass is quite good, though this is not a bass-head IEM and don't expect it to be. But it's quick and deep, though lacks a bit of physicality. It is mostly linear but with a bit of sub-bass rolloff.

Mids are a bit recessed, but still quite pleasing and moderately detailed.

Treble is good though there is some roll-off and detail levels are budget-tier.

Timbre is dry and at times a bit metallic.

The soundstage is extremely wide, although there is very little central imaging which results in the feeling that the IEMs are not quite inserted all the way even though they are.

They are extremely comfortable, although isolation is only average.

The included cable and tips are quite good for the price, and I don't think there's a need to buy third-party if you don't already have some on hand.

All in all, for $30 these were good bang for the buck when released but have since been eclipsed by other budget offers.

@Mr.HiAudio I'd say quite the opposite actually: This Jade Audio EA1 is having too much of bad-quality bass, not too-little bass. As far as my usage-pattern shows, meanwhile, I am hardly using that EA1 at all anymore, I either use still my BLON BL05s, or rather, most often meanwhile, my LZ A6 mini (which after enough burning-in revealed to be much more excellent in every way, albeit at a higher price-tag around $50 when I purchased it half a year ago). TBH, I wouldn't recommend this EA1 to anyone (except maybe people who normally enjoy 'Bose' speakers).

@lueneburg Now that the DQ6 exists i would not recommend the EA1 to anyone either.

Also, not sure what about my review led anyone to believe my problem with them was lack of bass quantity.
