The FIIO x JadeAudio series of products have always been known for their high performance-to-cost ratio as well as their high build quality, providing audiophiles with affordable yet high-quality devices to listen with. The all-new JH5 is the latest result of FIIO and Jade Audio’s years of audio experience. The high-precision 3D printed construction and the exquisite zinc alloy faceplate are a display of the high-end craftsmanship poured into the JH5 which gives it a luxurious feel you will immediately notice when picking it up.

There are 3 days left before the 1 Dynamic 4 BA Hybrid IEMs JH5 comes out. Let's stay tuned!

That cable is more than a little pricey!!!!!🥺
Unfortunately, yes... 😞

Situation #4 :

🙏

Strange, the link doesn't work. Here it is :

Well,

Cables are a matter of synergies. Nothing more but nothing less.

About that :

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fii...ressions-thread.938384/page-181#post-17803244

Just one manner to know : listening, and take full time as necessary to compare.

No negotiations about sound and ergonomics. The look is important too, but it is possible to make compromises. Not about the two first points, and in particular... the second one.

If you have the best sounding cable in the world but if the ergonomics are bad, this is pointless... 😞

5 main situations :

- Very lucky situation : no need to change anything. Perfect.
- Lucky situation : you have to change the cable, but it cost a very few amount of money. Almost perfect.
- Situation : you have to change the cable, but it cost a certain amount of money... and it became impossible to live with the previous sound obtained...

- Bad situation but it is good for the cause : you have to change the cable, but it cost a great amount of money... and it became impossible to live with the previous sound obtained... So you need to find the money.
- Worst situation : you have to change the cable, you have auditioned the very perfect match... but you can't afford it.

That's all folks
😉👍

Lol..... yup I was afraid I'm in one those bottom two situations..
I am sure it exists some solutions,

But... Need to listen... 😉

And about this particular cable : thanks to the conX system (here with my Ringo's) :

I can easily use it with my two main iems 👌😎👍

So it is an elegant way to reduce the price of said cable. 😅

JH5预热图2EN.jpg


The acoustic design of the JH5 borrows elements from the design of high-end IEMs such as the FH9 and FH7 with the goal of presenting music from genres as diverse as classical to pop all in a high-fidelity manner. At the heart of the JH5 is a 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver which is seamlessly connected to the custom balanced armature drivers covering medium to ultra-high frequencies thanks to the drivers being separated into three independent chambers.

The FIIO JH5 is truly an affordable IEM with a highly precise sound that truly lets you experience how good dynamic-BA hybrids can get.

There are 2 days left before the 1 Dynamic 4 BA Hybrid IEMs JH5 comes out. Let's stay tuned!

JH5预热图3EN.jpg


The FIIO JH5 comes standard with a cable made of high-purity silver-plated copper wires. Every 14 wires are twisted into a small strand, and 7 small strands make up one large strand. With a total of 4 large strands, the JH5’s cable boasts a total of 392 wires. The wires are each independently insulated and Litz braided, which increases the conductive area and improves high-frequency detail.

There is 1 day left before the 1 Dynamic 4 BA Hybrid IEMs JH5 comes out. Let's stay tuned!

1 Dynamic 4 BA Hybrid IEMs FIIO JH5 Is Officially Released!​

8407344.jpg



Higher Quality, easier to access to
The FIIO x JadeAudio series of products have always been known for their high performance-to-cost ratio as well as their high build quality, providing audiophiles with affordable yet high-quality devices to listen with. The all-new JH5 is the latest result of FIIO and Jade Audio’s years of audio experience. The high-precision 3D printed construction and the exquisite zinc alloy faceplate are a display of the high-end craftsmanship poured into the JH5 which gives it a luxurious feel you will immediately notice when picking it up.

Just Hear 5! High and low, quality everywhere
The acoustic design of the JH5 borrows elements from the design of high-end IEMs such as the FH9 and FH7 with the goal of presenting music from genres as diverse as classical to pop all in a high-fidelity manner. At the heart of the JH5 is a 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver which is seamlessly connected to the custom balanced armature drivers covering medium to ultra-high frequencies thanks to the drivers being separated into three independent chambers. The FIIO JH5 is truly an affordable IEM with a highly precise sound that truly lets you experience how good dynamic-BA hybrids can get.
8407336.jpg



Impressive 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver
The JH5’s 10mm carbon-based dynamic driver is similar to those used in the popular FIIO “Little Conch” series of headphones. However, this driver has been further tweaked, making it a second-generation model that has been designed to work well with the rest of the acoustic design. The carbon-based driver can move quickly resulting in excellent transient performance; all with minimal driver breakup resulting in reduced non-linear distortion.
8407337.jpg



Custom BA drivers -- mid and high frequencies
To ensure the dynamic driver worked well with the balanced armature drivers, the development team borrowed design ideas from high-end hybrid IEMs like the FH9 and FH7. Two custom BA drivers handle the mid and high frequencies. These two BA drivers were specially designed along with the dynamic driver to have a resonance peak at 2.8kHz, which also happens to be a resonance frequency formed by the shape of the human ear. The result is not only a smooth transition between the dynamic and balanced armature driver, but also ensures that the transition between different drivers is also well-suited for the shape of the human ear – resulting in a more natural soundstage and overall a smoother sound.

Custom BA drivers -- ultra-high frequencies
the development team also saw fit to equip the JH5 with two custom ultra-high frequency (UHF) BA drivers. These two UHF drivers were placed closer to the sound nozzle – which itself was made to have a thicker inner part, be shorter in length, and have a small curvature. The result of this design allows the FIIO JH5 to be well-extended in the treble, being able to capably produce ultra-high frequencies. It will let you feel every pluck of instrument strings, bringing you that much closer to the music performance.

Included 392 wires of silver-plated copper headphone cable
The FIIO JH5 comes standard with a cable made of high-purity silver-plated copper wires. Every 14 wires are twisted into a small strand, and 7 small strands make up one large strand. With a total of 4 large strands, the JH5’s cable boasts a total of 392 wires. The wires are each independently insulated and Litz braided, which increases the conductive area and improves high-frequency detail.

When will these be available in the EU? It's such a shame you're geoblocking Germany.
