Just received my F9 in the mail today. Special thanks to @FiiO for the opportunity.

FiiO F9 (widebore tips)
Initial impressions
- Recessed mids. Quite distant from the rest of the frequency.
- Midrange (notably vocals) don't have a lot of layering ability and lack weight. Singers feel like they are constantly using head voice, resulting in a thin and sometimes shrill sound.
- Pretty bright, could see it being sibilant for some. It's pretty borderline for me; then again I'm quite sensitive to high frequencies.
- Bass is very well done, well-textured and with decent-enough decay. Skewed more towards midbass; subbass is noticably backgrounded.
Tentative Grade: C
