I love the FH9. I even bought two, one for me and one for my wife. It is an awesome pairing.How do you like FH9 with M17? I am thinking off buying FH9 too.

Perfect, I will purchase FH9 then tooI love the FH9. I even bought two, one for me and one for my wife. It is an awesome pairing.
Very punchy. Best for Disco, Rock, R&B and the like. Not so good for Jazz or ClassicalHow do you like FH9 with M17? I am thinking off buying FH9 too.
Interestingly, I find it a very versatile tuning that can suit all. It is a slight V shape but I don't think it is overly done. But then again, this is an IEM and how it fits influences the sound. I have shallow / short ear canals and can't insert them too much deep in. Headphones are another story. My favourite HP is DCA Stealth and many claim that it lacks bass but not for me.Very punchy.

I have experimented with all attachments and filters, and like I said, they are great for pop/rock/R&B and the like and, for that music genere, I love them but, to my ears, for jazz and classical they are just too punchy, even with the balanced or treble filters.Interestingly, I find it a very versatile tuning that can suit all.

Maybe not the best place to discuss this, it is interesting that people decide what a headphone or IEM should be suitable for by mainly listening to the bass, whereas I think it is mainly the mids. I don't find the FH9 mids recessed to categorise them easily. I listen to fusion, acoustic instruments also and FH9 - for me - does them all very well.I have experimented with all attachments and filters, and like I said, they are great for pop/rock/R&B and the like and, for that music genere, I love them but, to my ears, for jazz and classical they are just too punchy, even with the balanced or treble filters.
As I have previously said to iFi. Hearing is a sense we all experience in a different way. Ear shape, (both outer cartilage and inner canal), together with hearing damage and frequencies sensibilities, (among a plethora of variables) influences how any individual perceives sound.Maybe not the best place to discuss this, it is interesting that people decide what a headphone or IEM should be suitable for by mainly listening to the bass, whereas I think it is mainly the mids.

For example, this person here says he is mainly a classical listener and finds the tuning of FH9 very balanced:
"For classical repertoire, FiiO FH9 also has an absolutely neutral interpretation, and this neutrality is not the same as the straightforward listening in the traditional impression. For FiiO FH9, the tri-band has a well-balanced distribution and the low-frequency can also bring a good atmosphere to the music."

How much it has changed in terms of sound? What are the most noticeable differencies after 60hours burn-in?After 60hours++ listening to m17, it starts to WOW me. This dap is great even with battery mode. Dc mode is another WOW story. Great job Fiio.
the dynamic, transient and specially transparent changes alot, maybe its the burn in, break in or brain in phase started to developed in me. Cause first time i am listened to m17 it just sound good not great. But yeah this thing now is great and can become one of the best for me.How much it has changed in terms of sound?

I have the same problem I think you can "reset database" in the FiiO Music menu, this should help.In the FiiO music app, Trying to figure a way to disable the scrolling of lyrics across the portion of the screen where there previously was just the title of the album (between the yellow lines I drew on there). Now, where I go to a song, that area starts with Album Title > then shifts to songwriters names, then begins to scroll lyrics. I have no interest in having those things displayed, other than just the Album Title. I would like for there just to be the Album name below the track bitrate info. Any help would be appreciated!
Well, I'm glad to hear the synergy works here. I think it goes to show that the M17 is fairly neutral and will reveal the strengths and flaws in any given headphone. It also reinforces - as I said on the AK thread - that DAC implementation is everything (given that both M17 and CA1000 use ESS chips).The Utopia didn't play well with the M17 and I was reluctant to plug in the 1266 TC and shock! It is much better, the dryness and dullness of the sound have disappeared, there is good weighting, there is musicality, gentle treble. As if I started listening to another DAP, great synergy! Maybe it has to do with the fact that I kept it under mains power for the last 24 hours. @Nostoi you must like this now lol!
