About the price different, the cost difference come from the metal case and the driver, accessories,

1, About the metal case, you should noticed that the FH5 includes 3 different parts and the shape is far more complex than our F9/F9 pro, we call it "TriShell", if you get both on hand , you will figure out what a huge improvement based on F9 PRO.

2，About the drivers, this time, we used a very famous ED BA for the middle , the ED driver is quite expensive , plz noted that not every BA cost the same.

3, This time the FH5 comes with a very good cable and better package.

BTW, you guys can waiting for the reviews and I believe you will not disappoint about FH5.

Were you able to procure D.O.M.E. proprietary drivers for the Mids or can you say? And if so , yes they would be costly.

Can't wait to hear more impressions then some reviews. Really wondering how they would compare to the Oriveti New Primacy, ever since I bought them they have been my daily driver, if they out perform the NP, that's more than enough said but even if they are very close but slightly different, still very very good iem for the buck

Yup, the sg in the url, as well as the info on the site, definitely indicate that this is for the Singapore market and is likely in Singapore dollars.

Wow.... Wow.... WOW!
WarmRichSmooth? 250$? Baby Oriolus?
I need this, like NOW!

Soooort of baby Oriolus, but not really. Oriolus is wider soundstage sounding, and a slightly brighter mid - high end. FH5 (at least the prototype i tried) was like, smoooth smooth and gentle. I might say it's somewhere between Oriolus and Acoustune HS1551 CU.

if you look at the website link you provided it has sg (for Singapore) in it. SGD to USD that would probably be the price is SGD.

I know from Your YT videos you liked the FH1, how does the FH5 compare to the FH1?

With the grill it was too vocal forward and something was missing
Most multi bore stems don't have a screen which can wreak havoc
I popped em.....BINGO

But isn't the grill there to catch ear wax...?

So is the screen attenuating the low end?
Do you think this would work with the F9 Pro's?

 

[joamlt22]

Those guys seem to have everything 50%+ over other stores. Just look at FH1 and F9 . Almost $100 over Amazon

I'm guessing because the currency is in SGD?
Was also searching for it when I came across your post.

 

[DcPlusOne]

Yes...E1 Personal Audio SG is from Singapore...therefore the price would be in SGD. Much like how if I visit any website whose store is based in USA I would assume the prices are in USD...

Worried that the grill has the removed - likely voiding the warranty - just to make it sound right...

Never said sound right.
Just opinion. Other reviews will give their opinion. Bass is up and banging and treble is reaching higher. Stock tune is somewhat balanced. Audiophile I guess?
Like it like my other 4 3 bore hybrids.
Screenless

It goes right back on anyway.

I see - I was mainly just confused about the 'something was missing' wording, but I think I get what you mean now. More v shaped but more fun with the screen removed?

I'm new to IEMs though, so isn't there a worry with earwax if the screen is removed?

I wonder what the general concensus will be.
