The story of FiiO x Jade Audio JD3-From @JamesFiiO

Chapter 5 More than simple


People who really make products all know that in many cases, simplicity is the most difficult. Take a product to study casually, and you will find that under the simple appearance is an extremely complicated interior. Even sometimes, it costs a lot to achieve the simplicity. The most typical case is Apple's first large-scale mass production unibody metal design, in short, is to use a piece of metal through CNC-based machining process to make the shell of the product.
Similarly, the earphones to be launched by FiiO also have an extremely simple appearance and workmanship, but under the simple and delicate shell, they also have rich design details and thoughts, including:
9.2 mm powerful composite neodymium magnet driver
Dual-cavity acoustic design to enhance the elasticity and texture of low frequencies.
Pleasant listening semi-open acoustic design
Strikingly solid unibody stainless steel construction
Carefully tuned acoustics sound reflection-absorbing design
It can be said that the price of this earplug shows the sincerity FiiO has never had before, that is, almost every penny you spend is used on the product. The design will never be perfunctory because it does not intend to make money. The stainless steel shell and the semi-open back cover with left blue and right red have sufficient identification. In terms of sound quality, it's not just a dynamic driver. It adpots the semi-open design, double cavities and enhanced sound absorption design. The details are also considerate, retaining the microphone and in-line control functions, which not only meet the needs of everyone to enjoy music, but also have a wider range of uses.
The intention of all this is to make friends with everyone with the greatest sincerity.

So, what about the coupon code? Amazon just show $19.99 for the JD3 but nothing about any promo.

What if it is your first FiiO and you want incentive to buy this over a CCA CRA which is about the same $19.99? What if you just bought the UTWS5? What is with the whole JamesFiio "story" about wireless earphone and how you can get them for $10 now but we will not let budget wired be eliminated?? Then you just list two wireless things you need to have bought to get the wired model promo??Wow!

There are times on Head-Fi that I look down for a "dislike" button to click on but alas we only have a "like" button. :confused:

If you have bought the UTWS5, you could contact us for the coupon as well. But if you do not have all this product, we are sorry we could not provide the coupon.

In the first batch, we have tried to provide high discount in Aliexpress and Amazon. Actually, making the JD3 could only bring less margin.

But we hope to introduce FiiO and Jade Audio to as many consumers as possible. With the JD3, you can experience what products FiiO is making, and thus enjoy the real charm of HiFi earphones.
When you have more needs for music listening, we believe you will have faith in FiiO, and will consider getting higher-end products.

Best regards

Kinda excited about this since i like bullet style IEMs. These just arrived. haven't found time to listen to them yet, but the packaging looks more expensive than they are for sure. Not sure if it really need to be this big though since it's just ear tips and a pouch inside. :joy: But can under why they went this route I guess if the plan is to have them stocked on store shelves. This packaging will probably be more attractive than the regular small cardboard boxes from similar IEMs like Quarks or Tanya. The metal shell looks and feels really good too. Will update again once I find time to give them some listen.:grin:

Don’t be Debbie Downer. :k701smile:

This is a forum for addicts. No one, I repeat no one, is in recovery, on this forum. Some might be in denial, but we all have drawers of either regrets or past loves.
like most of us here, i am also guilty of audio addiction but we can improve ourselves by restraining ourselves and select only what is really worth buying

At least as far as these two respective releases go, FiiO’s: did we omit the qualifications for the coupon ?
has temporarily numbed my need to feed my FOMO mentality

Can you put up a pic please to see how far the remote is from the shells.
Going to order a few sets looks like a potential modding session on the cards.

Dear friend,

If you have our product like UTWS3, UTWS5, KA3, BTR3K or BTR5, you could get the 10USD Amazon coupon for JD3 from us. (The end time will be subject to the actual stock.)

Best regards

OOTB impressions very promising. Less bass emphasis than Final E3000 but mids and treble have more clarity on JD3. Build quality a lot better than E3000. Shells feel durable and sturdy yet comfortable in ear. Cable and stock tips (4 sizes instead of usual 3) is decent for the price too.

Dear friend,

Glad to hear about that! :heart:

Got my pair today, and TBH they're pretty mediocre sounding. Rolled off treble and somewhat muddy in the mids. I was really hoping these would take the crown from my Sony MDR-AS800AP but it's not even close, the Sony's blow them away in SQ.

Oh well, into the Shoebox of Shame they go. :poop:
