FIIO FH5 vs FIIO FHE: Eclipse - What are the differences? Recommendations? HELP ME PLZ :))

What are the differences between these IEMS in terms of bass, midrange and treble? Which one has more recessed vocals?
Use case: Movies, Electronic, Hardstyle, Hip-Hop, classical
Currently using the BLON BL-03. Good bass, okay mids, too sharp treble (even with memory foam)
I want to be able to turn the volume up without getting my ears pierced with treble :)
I'm not familiar with fh5, but i own blon 03, fh3 & i know a friend who own fhe

If u want a bassy, forward mids iem without sharp treble, i would suggest Fh3.

While fhe is a more well rounded, balance version of fh3. It could comes across as less bassy (cuz it's focus more on midbass instead of sub bass) & the treble is slightly more energetic. Not sharp or anything.

If u wanna avoid sharp treble at all cost, fh3 is the safer choice.

If i recalled it right, Crin basically make Fiio FHE is basically an IFF Neutral target on mid and treble but with significant bass boost that still clean and didn't bleed to mid.

Correct. Fh3 is a neutral with bass boosted iem. It's skewed in a way

Fhe is sort of fh3 with "correction ". Making it more balance, less skewed.

Fh3 is more bassy, but fhe treble can be more pronounced (which can be good, or bad depends on individual preferences).

As for me,while i lament the lack of sparkly treble on fh3, i personally stick with it due to it's bass. Cuz it's what i like.

For others, who might want more controlled bass, and slightly more energetic treble,fhe is a better choice.

I am a fan of Titanium plated dynamics KBEAR uses one in their Aurora. Have been testing the new version out with some new cables by Tri. Will have something to post about them soon. Aurora is a nicely done earphone and one I feel is competitive at their price point. Harmon tuned with a bump in lower mids, bass and mid trebles. Well balanced and gets the benefit of that Titanium driver. Dynamics seems to be the thing nowadays. What was old is new. What is new is a new color scheme in an all aluminum alloy build. Good to see KBEAR venture into higher end yet affordable offerings. I presume there will be more to come.

Just got delivery of this little wonder this morning. TBH I am quite surprised at the sound it puts out from such a small package! For starter, the sound is extremely matured, because, even when it has a rather bright sound with a linear low end, the timbre is quite good with sufficient meat on the bones...errr, notes. The sound does NOT feel lean, in spite of being quite airy, and no uncomfortable peaks are there either. These impressions are all with the stock mic cable and out of phone. Will try different cable and source later.

Based on Tanya, Tancjhim usually have some meat in its sound.
If you have Tanya, hows the sound compared to it?
is it cleaner with better resolution?
