Which one is more interesting (in terms of soundstage, deepness, crispness and 3D) soundwise: F1 or F3?

My view is F3 much better than F1. F1 might sound better if done over the ear, mainly that the sound will propogate fully. F3 has limitations with classical music with detail, though it is fine where this detail is suppressed or missing. Clarity wise, tonally, faithful representation of solo instruments is breathtaking. F3 that is.

Thanks for this awesome product! It is really affordable and superb for the price. Sound is subjective and I personally feel that the bass on these are too strong for my liking and can sound slightly sibilant. Nice soundstage tho! Good job fiio!

Why didn't FiiO make any thread about their latest FiiO EX 1 2nd gen? They tweaked the original's sound. They might have tuned the midrange forward. Let's see.  I ordered a pair. should get them in 3-4 days.

Just got my F3 yesterday, it's a great earphone considering it's price, below my initial impression:

Accessory and built:
Great for the price! The built quality exceeded my expectation, feel sturdy and well built, really appreciate how FiiO takes care of all the details, though the cable is quite obvious OEM from Dunu, can see FiiO did improve and add on details here and there, for eg. There is add on glossy part at the headphone jack which feel a bit more premium, but the cable is a little bit too springy to wear over ear without the ear guide, I swap the L/R side and wear cable down then no issue.

Sound:
The star is the vocal, it's natural and clear, not edgy, slightly forward and not drown by other instrument even in Metal music, and yet not too prominent .
Second focus is the bass, it's emphasized but not bass heavy for me, I can't stand bass heavy earphone because I will get dizzy and this is not happening with F3, it got more bass and Impact than Titan 1es though it may not match 1es bass technical quality and speed. Its not bloated and got more control than Klipsch R6.
Highs may be the Achilles heel, its there to help with airy feel, but on some rare occasions can be little bit peaky, and it's not very well to convey all the details, for eg. Music with speedy hi-hat.
Soundstage is good, around your head and not inside your head, it's the reason I pre-ordered after brief audition.
It's definitely a great value IEM, much better than some consumers sound IEM I heard which costs twice or triple the price, thank you FiiO !
