Got the FH9 after a long Fiio journey with almost all their IEMs , Donno what magic they are doing but I almost feel the lack of needing a closed back headphones and in some extent even open back headphones, initially I thought that I won't like the bit of bass bleed but I LOVE the overall tuning .... Now to the problem... I want another set Can't wait for Fiio to drop a really 1k flagship.

Yes, that is that we need. More 20$ drivers tuck together sold for >1k

I think the FH9 is pretty much the limit unless FiiO decides to develop their own BA which would justify the price.

But also the FH9 already rivals a lot of much more expensive In-Ear, the FH9 is a true flagship and I hope FiiO doesn't turn into a cash grab by pricing an >1k In-Ear just for the sake of selling it for that price

Assuming they keep their value for money as I see them now, the next one will be a success too, like the FD7

Never found an FH3 PRO. Where is it?

Dear friend,

If your local seller does not have the FD3 Pro in stock, you could get one from our Aliexpress instead:

M17 and FH9 remarks by @DarginMahkum has perked my interest in these.

Any reflections on how they do with rock/metal (old school not current gen)?

I blame @DarginMahkum too.

 

[DarginMahkum]

I blame @DarginMahkum too.

Your opinion will be very valuable as you have the largest collection of HPs and IEMs in the universe to compare to. I hope you enjoy it.

You have to buy the LC-RC cable.

FH3 or FD3? I have never seen FH3 Pro for sale.

I agree - mention of an FH3 Pro is confusing as it doesn’t seem to show up anywhere as a product. @FiiO can you clarify?

 

[andjayik]

Regardless the cable is not worth $90, u can buy a good 4.4mm cable less then that

 

[jant71]

I love it. They even confused themselves. Maybe time for a better naming scheme or to just not do the we give a better cable and call it Pro thing.

 

[DarginMahkum]

I blame @DarginMahkum too.

Did you have a chance to test them?

Did you have a chance to test them?

Yes! And they are definitely as good as you have mentioned. I've got the FH7 last year and the FH9 is a clear improvement all around.

I'm still messing around with the three filters & different ear tips, and currently have the green (treble) filter along with the balanced ear tips. I'm treble sensitive, but the green filter is not hot at all, but added a more sublime sparkle and airiness to the FH9's sound signature. The bass and how punchy it is caught me by surprise, and it stayed there even with the green filters on.

I also loved the fit. Wore them for hours with no issues or discomfort. Pairing them with some of the DAPs that I have, the best synergy was with the Fiio M17; the punchy low end, clear mids and detailed treble were all there. Time simply melted away while I moved from track to track.

Same here. I am staying with the green filter as the treble is super balanced with sparkle but not bright. And same thing with the bass and mids balance. In the first few seconds I was like "nice bass", especially that bass does not overwhelm the mids. They are there and clear, and just adds some nice low end texture to the vocals.

As said, maybe I am missing all the progress in the IEM field but I am quite surprised with how good it sounds, especially if the fit is properly done, it sounds like headphones to me.

How much do they need to be burn in?
