I concur. The upper-treble does seem to roll off quite early at the 6k mark. But in Fiio's defense, I'd say this is to be expected from a mid $200 market competition with few exceptions (Lokahi comes to mind).
Yeah, does look like the 30017 has more lower treble. But the upper-treble roll-off looks worrying.
not offensive but low fi. wrong BA in my opinion and wrong step. Overall darker sounding iem's, definitely not better sounding as FH5 IMHO
I agree, i want to hear more reviews before i make judgement.
Now I’m really curious to try the FH5s
My tastes seem to not align with his, going off previous tried earphones and the ranking he has. However, I do think he is a good reviewer in general and - especially if your tastes do align - he's a valuable source of information. I don't think most people are looking for the most accurate and truest sound, but mostly to the most appealing sound to them which is subjective. If the goal was to sound as true to the original recording as possible, there would be one standard for mixing and mastering and all headphones/earphones would sound more or less the same and only significantly differ on technicalities.
For the FD5, it took 3 - 4 weeks, to show on Amazon, U.S.A.; after it’s initial offering on AliExpress.
BTR's estimates in the app are too high I think... Right?I use the BTR5 with the FH3 and on low gain most of the time I'm between 20 and 25. Sometimes I'll go up to 30 but not that often! I don't tend to use high gain with it as I find it loud enough on lowHey all, any of you FH3 lovers rocking them with a BTR5 care to share their preferred listening levels?
In High gain I usually listen between 25 and 35 depending on the dynamics of a song.
I am trying some Low gain tonight and Tech House slams superb at 33.
Am I going deaf?
