Hmmm, a bunch more came "in stock" on Amazon but mine still haven't shipped yet. Really think Amazon are going off a shipment they have coming in but are not truly in their possesion yet.

I originally ordered the blue shells and the ETA was June 30th. But I already have the blue shell EA3, so I switched to black and they’re already In the UPS system, ETA Friday.

Ordered in black via Hifigo, USD 69.- shipped. Let's them fight against Blon-03, Blon-05 and upcoming KBear KS2.

The only fiio iem i really like is their FH5 Best sub-bass ever! I tried FH1s ~60$~(it almost injured my ear canal on how sibilant they are) i wonder if this FD1 can dethrone the oppoty king BLON03

 

[H T T]

I get no sibilance with the FH1s. I’m using sock tips. Different ear canals...

Subbed + ordered from Amazon $59.00 - Hope they're good.

I took the jump on these as well. Blue from Amazon $59. Fiio put out a YouTube video unboxing. Looks good. Just wish I had an idea of how they sounded

Mine just arrived. Into the oven they go

Someone had asked about aftermarket cable options. The TFZ/NX7 (clear tip) fits more flush than the stock OEM cable (black tip)

Hello, When you get a chance could you check if there is any amount of driver Flex when Inserting into your ears?

Thanks

I did a quick check for DOA. No driver flex

Please give us an initial impression on sound. I saw a graph that showed no bass and a huge 8k spike. YIKES! Tell us it ain't so, Igcubana!

From my initial, quick listen (to make sure that they weren’t DOA) the FD1s were thin and sibilant; they sounded like a pocket AM radio was in My head.

i have them connected to an iPad, playing Pandora, at mid volume, over the weekend. I’ll check in on them Periodically.

Based on my experience with the EA3 and FH5, I have no doubt that over their break in, the FD1s will open up.

As I hoped, after a good workout, the FD1 has been awakened, here are my impressions: Link

First FiiO IEM I've been interested in since I realized I don't like BAs! I'm very curious if they can top the BL-03.

Any idea how efficient the FD1 is?

 

[Peddler]

Mine arrived yesterday. Initial listening reveals a really nice sounding IEM. Normally I'm not a big believer in burn in but I suspect these may open up somewhat after a couple of days of Trance, Floyd and Rush. I will be posting a full review with pics (when I've written it). I'm also happy to answer any questions anyone may have about them.

PopZeus (excellent handle BTW) - they're pretty efficient - directly from a Galaxy Note 8 full volume is very uncomfortable. My little Benjie player (which sounds unbelievably excellent BTW) drives them loud at about 40% volume.

A couple of points I've noticed about the FD1's.

Pretty mellow - whilst being detailed, they're not ear piercing at all.
Bass goes deep - but only when it's called for - you wouldn't think these were bassy headphones until the bass actually kicks in.
Medium insertion depth into the ears - not terribly good at isolation external noise but this doesn't change the sound quality.
Comfortable - but it took me a while to find the right tips - they come with a good selection - including Comply foam.
Cable looks and feels groovy!
They look really good.

Bloody hell - thin and sibilant - my worst nightmare. Everything I hate in an IEM. Why did FiiO advertise these as bass heavy and non-fatiguing? I was hoping for Tin T2 treble and TFZ No.3 bass. Any recommendations?
