[FiiO]

FiiO’s new dynamic driver IEMs JD7 is coming! It achieves a more delightful music experience with an all-new dynamic driver, tuning style and even ear tips demonstration.

The JD7 features a 10mm dynamic driver with an internal and external magnetic circuit setup that greatly improves the magnetic flux density so that the driver can push more air for a more effortless sound. The JD7's driver is put into a dual-layer housing where each layer features a damping system to ultimately result in a quicker-sounding driver with deeper bass.

It is worth noting that The JD7 features a frequency response very close to the Harman curve (In ear 2019) that will please a wide variety of people.

The JD7 ear units are made of 316L stainless steel. This results in a comfortable wearing experience while also making it highly durable and resistant to wear and tear.

Included with the JD7 are FiiO’s brand-new ultra-thin HS18 ear tips, which are light and comfortable to wear, fully letting you hear the JD7’s sound as intended.

Hello FiiO.

These look really nice, but how are these different than the FD3 that you already have in your lineup?

Thanks

 

[WAON303]

The mids look very Moondrop S8ish, definitely more bas than the S8.

Presentation is top notch.

I think these might be decent.

@FiiO are these also available in black? Your Chinese webpage has 2 different prices 449RMB and 499RMB what is the difference?

Hi folks,

Just realise that Fiio has a thread on JD7 and the new ear tips, so I share some of my previous posts on the discovery thread here.

Firstly, look at that beautiful channel matching (raw measurement, no smoothing). Let me remind you that these are single DD, not multi-BA. (The 8k peak is the artefact of my 711 coupler. The IEM does have 8k emphasise for treble sparkle, but not that much).

Now, let's verify Fiio's claim of Harman target:

Yup, close enough with around 3db deviation entering around 250Hz (the "punch" region). The ear-gain is slightly pulled back as well, so I did not hear shoutiness. And look, finally Fiio gets rid of the 5k ice pick. I am pleased to report that sibilance is very well controlled, even with Ed Sheeran's equals album (boy that album is spicy).

One last thing, are you ready for surprise? Have a look: JD7 vs Blessing 2 vs Crinacle IEF target.

Early, out-of-box verdict about tuning: very well-done. Vocal sounds full, clear, detailed, and just beautiful with this IEM. I went through some old Bon Jovi's hit and I kept going and going with a dummy grin on my face.

More graph can be found on my database (https://iegems.nk-tran.com/)

Initial impressions:

• It sounds like a Fiio single DD IEM: punchy, harman-ish, large-ish soundstage but does not have a lot of treble air, a little 5k peak for a bit extra sharpening.
• Vanilla in a good way. I hear a Blessing 2 - like upper midrange, clean but not weak bass (I mean, come on, it’s Fiio, they love bass).
• Seriously, everything is just … normal and correct. Cello has the right body, orchestra is arranged properly, Andrea Bocelli sounds like how he suppose to sound, Ed Sheeran’s Shivers is as bright and shouty as usual, subbass in bad guy rumbles my skull.
• No slightly fuzzy / veiled like the OG Aria. No crazy sharpening like S12. I haven’t found resolution lacking, but I have not been wowed either. Simply “good”. From memory: better than FD5. I do not hear fuzziness at the far side of the soundstage. For example, I can hear the duplicated vocal of Billie Eilish at the sides of the stage in bad guy without much effort. From memory, this test is where FD5 faltered.
• Soundstage is natural. Not closed in at all, but not crazily large with sound jumping all over the place.
• The shell does look like FA7s.
• I absolutely dislike the cable. It sounds alright, but it holds memory and never gets straight. I have been stretching it, using heat, but it has not been straightened entirely.

Edit: the ear tips are comfortable but can be a bit difficult to use if you are used to Etymotic-like tight fitting. Because the tips are very soft, if you jam them in your ears, they will deform and will not seal properly. In other words, they feel very similar to Spinfit CP145 tips, without the pivoting.

Upgraded the stock cable to FIIO LC-RC since an excellent IEM deserves a presentable cable. Now it is almost indistinguishable from the FA7s from the outside.

JD7 is quite easy to drive to full potential. You don’t need this G5 brick. A small DAP like AP80 Pro X or a dongle can get you all the way there in dynamic, detail and soundstage.

IMHO, it sounds better than FA7s too . Of course not everyone likes this kind of Harman inspired tuning, so FA7s has its audience.

oh....Fiio goes Harman....im FiiHOOked!

Not just Harman, but tastefully adjusted to avoid the shout and thin note weight of full Harman sound as well. Hope that you will review this one as well. One of the best “Harman inspired” single DD IMHO.

are these compatible with fiio utws5

If you get the MMCX version of utws5, yes.

I have identified the difference between FA7S and JD7. See the tweets here on Twitter.
Difference between FA7S and JD7

Beware, as malicious people will not stop showing up.

You mean the nozzle filters? Because other than that, I think they look almost identical if not exactly the same, especially if I swap the stock cable to LC-RC (FA7s stock cable). Be very careful when buying used FA7s

Edit: luckily I wouldn’t have that problem, because I noped out after auditioning FA7s. Does not match my HRTF at all.
