The actual product will be more attracted.

I believe and just waiting for some impressions

Lol every 10 seconds I find myself coming back to the Ali express purchase page with my finger ready to bop that damnn familiar 'buy it now' button but hold myself back thinking of the potentially great upcoming dunu titan model aswell. I hate it when I'm stuck in 2 minds.

DUNU ZEN has been announced already and will be released end of this month

Hi @FiiO what size is the smaller bass focused sound tube?

 

[Dsnuts]

I should be getting a set soon for review. I will most definitely post out of box sound and do a write up for it. Looking forward to hearing these.

But it is much more expensive.

I am looking forward to your impressions.

Yep, blind haha. pretty sensitive which is good because it will likely play nice with an LG G7.

Got mine yesterday! Only a few hours in and I’m not getting enough sleep this week so don’t take my impressions too serious!

First impressions: technically it’s very strong at this price, very strong. The sound is neutral with a slight hint of warmth; bass is fast and clean, not overpowering, but deep and you’ll feel the presence when it’s there - I say tastefully done; mid range is transparent and articulate, high mid not as prominent as the Harman curve suggests, which is good; treble is clear but smooth and non-fatiguing, without noticeable peaks, not sibilant, not as airy as the likes of Andromeda, but I don’t find the treble lacking. Overall, neutral/ natural sound character, even across the spectrum, with non-fatiguing treble.

I don’t have a lot of DD IEMs to compare to, so all I can say is this is not as warm as T8iE MkII and not as bassy as E5000 - pretty useless comparison I guess? Compared with my previous FiiO IEM - FA7, this has improved almost in every way - technicality, sound character, even comfort.

Speaking of comfort, amazingly, FD5 is very comfortable despite of the form factor, but I can imagine it may not be as comfortable for people with very small ears - for reference I have slightly smaller than average ears and can at most endure Andromeda for one album. If the edge of the faceplate was smoother it would be one of the most comfortable IEMs.

And the greatest thing of the form factor is that, it stays in your ear secure and effortlessly, never need to readjust it. Also despite of being DD with vents on the faceplate, it manages to block the outside noise amazingly well - thanks to the form factor, it’s very easy to get a good seal, without the slightest “vacuum” feeling in your ear. I can never stand that feeling so I’m almost exclusively using Comply foams, but with FD5 I’m comfortable with SpinFit - amazing!

The cable is beautiful and premium looking. Being able to switch between 3.5 and 4.4 (and 2.5) is very convenient, though swapping plugs are not as easy as with the previous FiiO 3-plug cable, but I’ll take straight plug over L-shaped plug any day.

I’ll try post some photos tomorrow! It’s late at night here and I don’t think the light could do justice to the beauty!

Edit: I woke up today realized that I was listening with my iFi iDSD Micro’s XBass on last night.. I guess that’s why I heard a hint of warmth and felt the deep bass. Without XBass, FD5 sounds very neutral to me.

Really glad to hear it is comfortable and doesn't give you that vaccuum feeling in your head. I hate that feeling from some iems.

No words about soundstage ? It is a « semi open » design.

Is T8iE better sounding (more musical, bigger sound) ? I’m looking at Xelento.

Love the impressions! I am placing an order as soon as the Ali express store gets them in stock.

Btw comparisons to the t8ie would be great. Which one do you find to have better technicallities, details and vocals?
