Our resident bass head Mike liked the FH1s for sure in our review just published. Hard to believe hybrids now under $60.

After spending more time with the the FH1s, they have become my favorites. I have several other sub-$200 earphones. For several weeks I kept reaching for the FH1s. It has grown to love! :L3000:

I must have a green set! Amazon doesn’t have them yet. Is there any estimation when the green color will be available in the USA?

slightly OT, I have a set of the FA1 coming in a few days. I have grown so impressed with the FH1s that I wanted to try some of FiiO’s other IEM flavors.

I am also considering the FH5. What are the sonic differences/similarities between the FH1s and the FH5?

The FH1s’ audible unit is composed of a Knowles balanced armature driver and a 13.6mm super-large dynamic driver. The 13.6mm dynamic driver is made of a bio-polymer diaphragm being driven by extremely robust N50 high magnetic circuit system, giving you powerful yet quick bass as well as crisp and clear drums for a striking overall sound. The FH1s’ Knowles 33518 BA driver is located near the front (closer to the ear) of the body, which reduces high-frequency sound loss and thus improves treble extension. It plays its high frequencies through a brass sound tube, which reduces unwanted resonances and gives the higher frequencies a sense of realism and tactility you can really feel.

FH1s Owners, Question.

Is there any amount of Driver Flex(crackling noise) when inserting into your Ears?

No driver flex for me. I am using the tips that were on my set when I opened it. What tips are using? Maybe you are getting too good of a seal? Are the bores in the body of the IEM clogged?

FiiO FH1s Review: An Affordable Dual Driver Hybrid

The FiiO FH1s is an excellent pair of IEMs. The build quality feels slightly lighter than more expensive pairs, and them materials used in the diaphragm aren’t quite to the standard of some of Fiio’s more premium offerings, but the sound quality is outstanding. Paired with the LC-BT2s, you can even cut the cord. If you’re on a budget, the Fiio FH1s are an excellent option.

Strangely, I think the FH1s’ cable is quite nice. I would not list the cable as a negative at all.

My mini review: The FH1s is tuned wonderfully. If you give it a bit more power than a cellphone is capable of providing, the lower mids even out and the bass tightens up nicely resulting in a non-fatiguing, “mature fun” sound signature. It is comfortable to wear and listen to, having decreased sound pressure on the ear drums. (Something I am quite sensitive to experiencing when using earphones). The FH1s looks great. It has some very nice accessories. The FH1s could/should be on nearly everyone’s short list for earphones under $100.

Listened these FH1s recently, and want to share my opinion of that model.
Fiio FH1s - neutral, but with a branded presentation.
IMG_0823.JPG

Low frequencies.

Good, fast, not boomy.
Reverbs are nice and bold.
In general, the bass is like neutral headphones.

Middle.

Low-middles are slightly reduced to a pit.
The male vocals are not so expressive, the instruments are not corporeal, really like those of the “neutral” headphones.
The very middle is accented. Detailed, excellent separation of instruments and drive.
The high-middle frequencies are uplifted, the female vocals are very expressive and sound close, the metal can be a little harsh.

High frequencies.

Clean, detailed. The attacks are good and biting, fast, a little "ringing". On fast metal, “Architects - Doomsday” get a little messy due to the artificial "lengthening" of the far treble.
In “BFMV - Hand of blood”, only the not pronounced vocals are a little annoying, but all the instruments play perfectly, completely and flawlessly. During the solo part, the treble is also played out completely audibly and without distortion, even on a dark source.

The scene is noticeably more than average in width and slightly more than average in depth. Slight holographic effect like in Intime Kira.

Bottom line: great try Fiio. They sound similar to the largely improved TFZ King Exclusive, but with less bass, but generally better bass reverbs. Low-mids and High-mids are the same as TFZ King Exclusive, longer highs, the stage is slightly smaller than that of the King. Headphones can be founded here.
Who doesn't like the Sino-Japanese feed (Similar to Intime Kira and, judging by the reviews, Intime Sora light) and needs Harman or Sony feed - pass by. I'm not so picky, the main thing for me is not to spoil my favorite music, or to make it even more interesting, bringing to the fore the details that were previously invisible. FH1s are just that.
