Can you give a comparison between Globe and FD5 regarding tonality, soundstage, separation, and imaging? Thanks. I have listened to FD5 extensively, so I can gather some idea.

Just for you Ace. Treble is a bit more peaky for the FD5 and has a cooler tone overall due to more treble emphasis the Globes sounds more natural in tone with more body of sound. Sound stage like I wrote on the review is very similar in expansion. Globes has the more forward taller and slightly deeper sound. The Globes mids vs the FD5 has more presence sounds more dimensional. Instrument separation is presented in a similar manor again not too much different here but since the FD5 has a bit more mid treble energy has a touch more presence for stringed instruments and sharper vocal tones- here is where Fiio should have toned this portion down a touch imo. Globes has a fairly large anti siblance dip around the area and vocals however sounds more smoother and much richer in tone, especially male vocals. These two earphones are actually complimentary as the FD5 just cant do vocals like the Globes but as you know has some excellent instrument timbre.

Thank you. I am using UM 3DT, and compared to that I found FD5's midrange tonality slightly warmer. It wasn't offensive, but noticeable. What I wanted to know is whether Globe has a warmer tonality than FD5.

It shares a similar rich tone vs the Orbs but with more treble presence, extension and a grander stage. That sound presentation works better on the Globes as the added treble BA balances out the tonality even better than the Orbs. The warmer tonality is due to the more dimensional frontal mid range of the Globes yet at the same time has just a wide yet deeper and taller sound vs the FD5s. It is quite the accomplishment. Sound is very engaging and musical more than being outright technical. Which a lot of phones can have highly technical tunings now a days but the opposite end can lack musicality.
