Looks nice! I'm wondering if Fiio have any plans to upgrade the FH7, maybe a FH9 is coming?

I loved the form factor & resin build of the FA7, but its sound was too warm for my liking. Didn't try the FH7; I'm not really a fan of metal bodied IEMs as I've always found it hard to get a great seal with them.

Curious that the first switch actually changes the impedance

How much FA9 are larger than FA1/7?
@FiiO can you spoil a bit about tuning? I hope that they are FA1 signature with FH7 dynamics and sound quality :)

This 100%

they use the same tweeters and woofers like Audiosense T800, the woofers are also vented with a port similar to T800, i wonder if that is collaboration product between the two brands
