George did you get one?

Oh yes, I was writing about it those days!

It sounds really good for its price!

It is much more comfortable than I expected given their shape!! They are a comfort heaven!

I am waiting to try the balanced too .. that's the main reason i got it, that and i kind of like the fit the dunu titanesq design provides.

Any comparison to EX1 which i own and appreciate their unique sound transparency?

I think @ryanjsoo has compared it extensively with the EX1 in his review of the F5.

Is F5 more mid focused and vocal orientated in sound reproduction terms?

It is definitely less recessed than the EX1, the F5 is more balanced in general but has a slightly fuller bass response.

I think that the slightly fuller bass response is a very positive thing though!

Agree...despite the fact that i have not heard the new F5 but...owning EX1 have to say that sub bass impact wqs kind of an issue with EX1....so it must be quite an upgrade this one...with fuller sound and more forwarded mids maybe?

I felt that the mids are quite forward on F5. The signature is a bit hard to define in words at first, but it is a nice sound nonetheless. I don't have EX1 to compare to tough...

Strange, I get an 404 error, page does not exist.
When I go to the Aliexpress FiiO Store, I find only one earphone:

Could it be, that we have an active geofence ... no access to new products from Switzerland?

It worked this afternoon but I'm getting an 404 error message now as well.
