hi to all. I just got my FH3's and as I am new to the hobby (although a very long seasoned audiophile... with large floorstanders), I seek your advice on the various tips offered in the package. Apart from the obvious purpose of fit to one's ears, what other thing goes with them? Different materials, colors etc. Do they affect sound? In which way? What is the significance of all the various tips included?
Thanks in advance

This might help, though on the F9 thread...

I spent last month only for FH3. Surely sounds very clean compare to BL-03. That crossover thing between drivers of FH3 and BA that capable to handle busy passages vs muddy BLON. Still the BLON in my rotation to Letmusicburn and Nevergiveup fight finicky fit

Currently I'm using SednaEarfit Short for FH3, it help the soundstage.

Can you compare FH3 with IT01?

Hello.

I recently bought the FH3's and they've been great so far. My dongle dac will be arriving soon and I'm planning to get a 4.4m balanced cable. Seems like there will be a sale soon on AliExpress soon. Will this cable be a good pairing with the FH3's?

It seems good but at this price point why don't buy a FiiO original?

There's a KBear version of the same cable that's a little bit cheaper:

The Rhyme cable is the one I use with my FH3 and it's cheaper again, but it's not a black nylon covered cable like the one you linked:

Then there is this one thats even cheaper and the original OEM cable: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002037113020.html

You can ask for the 8 core version if you want. The seller is friendly and you can even ask him to make a custom cable for you.

The stock cable feels stiff to me. I'd reckon if the other options are softer.

Thank you for your suggestions! Opens up my options.

This is very cool. Much cheaper and seems to be pretty much the same thing. Thank you for the tip!

Interesting! Would love an upgrade to the FH3 which keeps the excellent bass while improving on the other aspects. I actually quite like the mids on the FH3 - hoping that the dynamic driver here will improve the timbre further.

I recently auditioned the FD5, and suffice to say I was completely blown away by how good it sounds. Will the FH5s be an improvement over that?

The 6mm DD for mid is what making me more interested. Very unconventional configuration...Elysium uses a DD for mids also, as far as I can remember.

 

[feverfive]

Interesting config. Glad to see IEM releases gaining steam again.

I sense a similarity here:

Looks like it got switches. Hopefully this is the real upgrade to the FH3, since the FD5 is different from it.
