What do you think of the FA9 and especially the LC-RE?

I took some time! I use switches 1-ON 2-ON 3-OFF playing mostly Flac from Deezer and HibyR5 with 4.4mm Pentacom balanced connector.
First, I have to say I love the softness of the Fiio LC-RE cable my softest cable yet with best plug system.
Fiio LC-RE cable improved all range of the frequencies of the Fiio FA9, the bass is tougher/stronger mids and highs smoother/clearer.
There is no hiss in low impedance mode.
Fiio HS7 carry case is my saviour because I can finally nicely put Fiio FA9 with all needed plugs, switch tool, spare Spinfits and Hiby R5 inside with safer feeling travelling.
SO FAR VERY HAPPY with purchase!!!!

EDIT 3: The FA9 sounds like you're hearing the recording from an incredible set of speakers and setup in a crazy high end audiophile room.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

It was my first impressions. Honeymoon. The forward mids does make for some great guitars imo.

Can anyone with the FA9's compare them to the SE846's? I was considering replacing the Shures with the FA9 but was unsure if they measured up..

I haven't compared them myself, but my friend who owns both says he prefers the FA9, but the se846 has more bass. One review on Amazon for the FA9 also says the same thing. That's all I heard though. I'm interested in how the older se846 holds up against a 2020 flagship like the FA9. I love my FA9 though, no regrets

Great, thanks. Yes, I too am interested in hearing from others who might've heard both. The se846 still costs almost twice as much, and wondering if I'd lose anything besides a little bass if I switched.

In today's first look article, we check out the new Fiio FA9, the popular brand's latest IEM. It's a universal IEM with six BA drivers and it seems to be very promising.

The preview, now on Headfonia!

I really like the possibility to change FA9 as you like its impedance, sound profile. I have two different IEMs that can do this but Fiio FA9 is way better at this.

The headfonics review has probably helped me decide not to buy the FA9. there is very little in the way of reviews, and this review only compares against other Fiio models. Would've been more helpful to see it reviewed against other similar multi driver offerings in or around the same price range.

Oh don't get me wrong its a good review as your reviews always are however its not giving me any idea how they compare to others in their range.

I am sure there will be new reviews shortly that bring in other comparisons though. I tend to find at this price point you need several reviews to complete the picture as there are so many possibilities.
