FiiO F1 and F3 IEM's

[RameshK]

Surprisingly EM3 sounds better in M3 for classical than F1 and F3. I am hoping Fiio puts out EM3 2nd gen.

The wonder of F3 and its ability to faithfully play both the harspichord and violin is breathtaking on a basic android phone.

On phones this earphone F3 is excellent.

I bought both from AliExpress, and for the price they're amazing. Fiio has some real winners here, not just for such a low price, but overall. I was blown away by the F1s, and had to keep reminding myself they were under $20. They are that good. They are driven very easily by my iPhone and I don't have to max the volume. They are a little V-shaped and warm in the mids, but I like the sound signature. They have a lot of space and a wide soundstage, amazing for the price. A very good amount of bass and sub-bass. They relay a lot of detail.

I just got the F3s, so I need some more time and maybe need to try some of the other tip sizes to get a better seal.

sorry it take more time to mass produce the F1/F3, but we start to ship the order for our agents from today and hope more people can try it and put more feedback to us.

， where you ordered it ?

Sorry if I didn't specify clearly enough, I ordered from a local shop in Singapore, not from FiiO directly.

  I tried them a few days ago, and they are really amazing for their price! The first thing that impressed me was the really wide soundstage, I really felt the instruments were playing outside my head! The mids are a little warm (perfect for OP), and these IEMs seem a little bassy (coming from an ATH-IM02). I'll be getting two of these, really great value for money!

 
Hi when you get them let us know how they compare to the IM02 please

On F1 the tips make a huge difference. Using the medium one, sound was darker and distant. With the larger one, sound was good but was tips were chafing my ears.

F3 with medium tips sounds really good.

All the above with Android phones.

I preordered EX1-2. I am certain that would satisfy my classical music listening on both X1-2, X1 and M3.

I plan on further testing using both F1 and F3 during the next six months.

Wonderful earphones. Unique sound.

Where did you pre-order the EX1-2s from? I'm interested in giving them a try.

From Indian agent of Fiio. I have yet to receive them. Intl. Shipment delayed to them. Hopefully in a week's time I should have them.
