The discovery thread!

Damn, another contender is coming

Very nice looking iem! If the price is under $50, I'd be curious to try this set. Nice to see a set of Fiio iems, that finally use a 2 pin. I'm not a big fan of mmcx connectors especially if I want to use in balanced format. The blue set really looks attractive too!

+1 what DynamicEars said. I'd totally be willing to give this a try when it comes out.
Didn't pop up when I searched for it (was on phone at the time though, so YMMV), but hey look a link - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000419858364.html

Edit - They should have had a jade color too, IMO. :p

Among a few nicer cables. I decided to take a gamble on this

This looks very close to the NIceHCKs F3 in design Very close. But the tuning is different. Way more balanced and focused on sub bass more so than mid bass. This could be what the F3 should have been. I figure I can take one for the thread and see what this one is all about. Internal of the housing and overall design is identical

Vs F3

I bet they learned a thing or two from the failed F3..This has me getting a Tri I3. I thought the F3 had some potential which could have been so much better if they fine tuned the thing. Will report when I get em.

I know KBear and NiceHCK has nothing to do with each other but. This reaffirms to me that these guys all get their earphones and cables from the same warehouse.

That was a fast search, definitely going for it lol

I thought they were just announced it.

Edit: Good news is I can use the $2 off coupon, so I can get it for $48 :L3000::beyersmile:

Gotta love that chinglish Comforable and resistant to hearing. I hope it isn't resistant to hearing. That wouldn't be good. Fingers crossed it wont be a dud. Yikes. Priced seem Ok for what it was.

Also took a boot on these.

Love me my foams now a days. Moondrop store on Aliexpress has these foam tips they use on their earphones for sale. Looked interesting. This T55 model has the widest nozzle I have ever seen for foams. I bought 2 sets which cost me around $13 on sale. 4 pairs. These foams look premium. Will report on these. According to Moondrop these foams make a difference.

In any case I will be getting some. Will let you all know how they be.

By the way. the Graph on the I3 looks like these harmon based moondrop S8. Larger 8mm dynamic on the I3 gonna have some stout sub bass.

Tuning looks quite sweet.
Anyone gonna take a punt on it?
I'm definitely going for it, but the shipping method is only SingPost atm. Duh need to wait almost a month to get them

It seems there's some different shipping method via Netherlands post (POSTNL)? Yeah but the shipping timeframe are thereabouts, and with black friday among us and the festive period coming, I bet there'll be delays in shipping time.

I like the FR for this set, no harsh 2 - 4 kHz CHIFI peak. But too much wallet damage from 11/11, and it's not on discount as it just came out. But let us know how it turns out, it's definitely one set I have on my wishlist.

I got the $2 off, so $48 is still reasonable

Yeah, I too would like to get it, but I have bought quite a few IEMs lately and need to take a break on my spending. It does seem promising though. Maybe in a few weeks.

Nope, I said they released it. Out in the wild lol. Though just on the Jade Audio Ali page for now.

Oh, and I agree on a nice Jade color or some other shade of green would be nice. That is another improvement from the FH1, a better shade of green than that one was :)

And, while they are taking models and improving on them and lowering the price, I hope they take the FA1 armature and add a good dynamic and release that for $99!

I bought it. Because I can't find their page here too, usually fiio will make a thread for their upcoming item
