Frequency response (on the webpage) looks pretty good. Looking forward to trying this one. Hopefully got the MMCX sorted. Did you ever consider going 2-pin FiiO? Much more reliable IMO.

So close, I had them in my shopping cart but decided against them until some reviews come out. Hopefully won’t be a stock shortage down the road. Still keen, just need some reviews.

If it wouldn't affect the price, I would also like to see 2 pin configurations if possible!

depended on the market researching, 70% percent is mmcx. so we are not going to change to 2 pin in the coming soon, we will more like to provide a cheaper model called F9SE which removed the mmcx connector.

here is the photo of F9SE. not mmcx, not 2.5 balanced, not inline remote, not micphone

Oh, I see!

Well, at least the non MMCX version looks pretty cool as well!

So, this one has not detachable cable?

Just ordered the F9. Looking forward to getting those and the Q1 mark ii - I've never had balanced headphones or IEMs before, so I'm pretty stoked. What a great time to be an audio enthusiast - there is value to be had everywhere.

Really good value is one of the reasons I initially fell in love with FiiO actually

They keep providing more and more for low prices, this is something I really appreciate since it helps new people get into this hobby and it also brings tons of fun to those who can't afford spending that much on audio equipment.

Do you have any Balanced source to connect them to? The fact that F9 is balanced means that you also need a balanced source to take advantage of their balanced cables.

The Q1 mark ii is a DAC/amp with balanced output, i'll be using that.

Unfortunately AliExpress canceled my order. They want a scan of my driver's license and bank information. I guess I'll be waiting until it's available elsewhere.

Looks impressive but is there any consideration gone in to the F9 that tackles canal pressure?

its hard to go back from very well vented iems, open back headphone like effortlessness that the sound quality has. some of you folks know what i mean.

When I demoed the F9 few days ago, it was very comfortable and doesn't have any canal pressure in my case, however the isolation seems to be less than the TFZ Exclusive 5 I own or any other TFZ series IEM that I tried that day. It might be an imperfect seal (weird though as normally m-sized tips fits me) or there might be quite an open vent hole but I wasn't able to find it.

When is the pro being released? I look forward to seeing its frequency response graph. I really hope it will have a more neutral sound, and smaller spykes from 5 to 12khz. Also, I wish the price won't be much higher, since a single knowles 30017 only costs about 35 dollars.

How is isolation with the fiio f9? Is it vented or sealed? @ChrisNoob says it wasn't very good, but maybe it was an inappropriate tip size for his ears.

The F9 SE may be available in 2 months, the pro verison take longer time and we have not ETA right now.
