Headphoneus Supremus
Nice, it looks better than EM5. If it fits better than EM5 then I am in.
I got these in earlier today (for a review) and although it is obviously very early days yet, the first thing I noticed is that the build and fit are, for me at least, an improvement over the EM5. When I reviewed the EM5 I was heartbroken because I loved the sound, but could never get a secure fit, even the slightest turning of my head would cause the EM5 to fall out. The FF3 sit much more secure for me and so far it seems I can move around without any noticeable movement of the earbuds. No head banging obviously, but I can walk around and even with the cable dangling it doesn't pull the earbuds out. These are the first earbuds I have come across that I can use without ear hooks to secure them in place, after my wife's Apple earbuds I borrowed ages ago. It is not super secure, but that is also inherent to earbuds. Looking forward to testing them more extensively over the next few weeks.Nice, it looks better than EM5.

Yes and yes. I’d order it with a VE EX PACK. Their foams lighten this up a bit. This is a very bass heavy bud with all but the donut foams supplied with these.Anyone has this yet ? I'm tempted and I'm just one tap away at ordering. Is it any good?

They sure are improving and FF5 might be it. EM5 was one of the best sounding buds I heard but fit killed it for me. Hope FF3 and FF5 would be the keepers.The FF3 is a great bud that FiiO will have to work hard to improve on. From my best buds, it lacks very little except some resolution and soundstage. It’s not bad in that regard by any means, just not the best I’ve heard. In truth though, I think I enjoy the FiiO’s midrange the most. The blend of warmth and resolution is slightly more towards the “ pleasing” rather than “engaging” side of the spectrum. It’s the HD650 of buds in that regard, but it has better bass, a wider soundstage, a much lower price, greater comfort and portability, and perhaps a better build quality. I really need to compare it with some others, but I haven’t wanted to listen to anything else yet. I’m just enjoying the new buds. When I saw the graph knowing how things have worked in my rig, I knew they were on to something. I have resisted a lot of temptation in the past couple months, but the devil got the best of me and I’m glad she did. With the neutral foams it’s too warm for me and the donuts are too shouty. The VEs are just tastefully warm.

DIY. There are likely others, but I haven’t spent that kind of money and can’t say. These certainly don’t make me feel like I’m missing much with anything else. I bet the Tingo TG38 beats in resolution as well, but it’s limited in the bass department and can’t really do any electronic genre justice. It’s also got an aluminum VC like the FF3, but it’s cheap as chips.There are earbuds out there with even better technical performance than these ones? That would put them in the ball park with the TOTL IEM for sure, given how great FF3 performs
Dear friend,How much mm is shell diameter on this pair? Hope @FiiO can tell
