a 6mm full beryllium-plated dynamic driver is used to replace the original balanced armature driver

This might be a key differentiating element, steering away from a mids-BA and using a DD.

About the sound tuning, FiiO earphones have been trying to make progress through repeated trials all the time and applying these results to next generations. So, what is qualified to be a good sound tuning? And what are our standards? The essence of HiFi is an accurate reproduction of sound. While listening sense is subjective and varies between different ears. Thus two concepts, "accurate sound" and " beautiful sound" occurred. Based on FiiO's tuning rules, we would try to make full use of excellent materials and accurate tuning to realize an ultimate sound quality amid the same price range. An accurate sound goes first and some personalized acoustic demands follow. As a result, we designed 3 sound tuning switches for the FH5s, which are able to achieve 8 different types of music styles.

After clearly understanding what sounds our users really need, we would move to the next step, ie. how to realize it. After tons of trials and experiments, we have placed the drivers in a side-mounted and direct-drive manner in the FH5s, which has made great use of the space and given better consideration to the acoustic requirements. The rear cavity utilizes a semi-open design. The balanced pressure relief technology applied to the front and rear cavity ensures no pressure on the ears. The tuning hole on the front cavity is hidden. Through the inner channel, it is linked from the faceplate of the rear cavity to the external, thus resulting in an intact front cavity with the tuning hole invisible. Therefore, you don't have to worry that the tuning hole is blocked or sweat gets into it. In addition, it inherits the patented cavity design of the FH5 with a 3-point fixation manner to help reduce excess resonance and distortion. The precise 4-way crossover ensures that bass, mids, and treble seamlessly blend without interfering with each other.

Are you still curious about the acoustic design of the FH5s? Next, we will have FiiO's senior acoustical engineer analyzed the acoustic structure and sound tuning technology behind the FH5s.

Is Gen Z actually the main purchaser of mid-fi IEMs?

IMO, recent college grads are probably the driving force behind TWS.

Now let's move to the accessories of the FH5s. Included in the package is a high-purity monocrystalline silver-plated copper cable, 3 types of twist-lock swappable plugs, an innovative MMCX assist tool, a leather carrying case HB5, rich ear tips... meeting your needs for different devices at one time.

At last, we would come to the conclusion of the #2 Balanced Armatures 2 Dynamic Drivers In-Ear Monitors FH5s#. It has the following characteristics: an all-new 2BA+2DD architecture, a 12mm beryllium-plated dynamic low frequency driver+a 6mm beryllium-plated dynamic mid frequency driver+Knowles TWFK-30017 compound high frequency driver, a semi-open acoustic rear cavity, a hidden internal recycled tuning hole in the front cavity, 3 sound tuning switches, an included 4-strand 120-core monocrystalline silver-plated copper cable, included 3 swappable headphone plugs... From configuration, accessory and sound quality, the FH5s has an overall improvement than the FH5.

Kinda steep

The marketing price vs. actual price difference is concerning. IMO, there is a psychological hurdle going over$250. The FH5s is now competing with $300 units. Some VERY competent units. Then there is the matter of trust. The hype price was $249, now it is $259. Just like with the FD5, the price changed from the hype price. It comes across as a “bait and switch” tactic.
