FIIO FH5s Hybrid in-Ear Monitors - Black

I love these ear buds. They fit in my ears nicely and doesn't cause any soreness after wearing them for a while. I do like that you can use the little switches to modify how you wan it to sound. They are very clear and definitely bassy when having the correct switches turned on. The cord is pretty long and durable I haven't had any issues.

Just a quick summary, While listening to “【Tanaka Music Hall】Tanaka Hime - Skylarks (Acoustic)” keeping all switches down(0), it’s a nice U shape, bass has wonderful impact, sub-bass is enough for me to be pleased with, mids come out, vocals and the upper treble is very airy, giving it a nice huge stage to get lost in. But I felt the vocals on this song could get a little up there, not sibilant, but a kinda harshness some might perceive, when I switched the B to (1), Mid to (1) and left treble at 0 still, it smoothed everything out real well, lowering the treble and bringing a nice warmness to it all, and no harshness was there on this track, but it was smooth, bass didn’t change, vocals were superb, instrument detail was still there but a little less sparkly in the treble region and when I brought down the bass switch to (0), left treble still @ (0), and kept mids at (1), it kept the vocals at about the same spot while still keeping a sparkle without the harshness, riding the line you could say, and bass still the same throughout the testing, this is where I found my liking for this set. I love them for EDM, MMD, K-Pop, Pop, Chinese Folk, R&B and Nightcore. Stage is very wide, with lots of detail and layering. Build wise, they’re almost identical to the BGVP NS9, but with venting, they fit perfect for my ears, nice and snugly. Cord is also very nice. I’m using the 4.4mm plug on them hooked up to an iFi Zen dac/amp with truebass turned on, SpinFit CP100 eartips, and I can’t say enough of how impressed I am with them. Overall, I prefer these to the FD5’s, and I enjoy them on the same level as the FH3’s, I think these have more detail, a hint brighter and with a slightly larger stage and the FH3’s are slightly more intimate than these and have a heavier hitting bass, a touch warmer, but it would be hard for me to pick one over the other, they just have slightly different tunings and both are wonderful. >>> - Several months later, I'm still enjoying them, the sparkly highs, the textured bass is wonderful, and then the crispy mids, instrument detail just pops at you, though clear & clean with no graininess, and let us not forget the vocals, that sit a little closer to you for a intimate experience- I really enjoy them! Mainly use these for MMD, EDM, Nightcore and watching Anime.

These are one of the best IEMs I own or have tried and I have a dozen different models. I was concerned about harshness with these drivers so I burned them in for 200 hours first per FiiO recommendations before any serious listening. They are efficient and don't require a lot of power to run. I listen to them on my FiiO X7 MKII and newer Cayin N3PRO and they sound great on all kinds of music. They are well balanced (to my ear) with smooth highs, clear and forward voices and midrange and clear, tight and impressive bass down to lower bass. They are NOT bass heavy for you bass fans but when there is bass in the music it is tight, well defined and will go deep. The bass impact and power is impressive but only when it's in the music. They are very revealing and make older, less dynamic music sound more lively and newer HD music sound fantastic. I do recommend these if listening to music is a primary activity for you and not just for background...

These are like Sony MDR-Z7 in an IEM, bass is strong and deep. Its sort of different sounding, treble could be better, not top tier but still decent. Package is nice, cable is beautiful.

I've been through quite a few over ears open and closed back, and several IEMs, and these are simply fantastic. They have a bit of a bass boost at baseline, and I don't mess with the switches as they seem to disproportionately affect the sound. Great quality, great cable and accessories.

For almost $300, the quality is actually great, they SOUND AMAZING, the case is on a whole different level, a custom case is awesome, here’s where I don’t like them, the cord is trash, they don’t stay in your ears very well at all and fit terrible, falling out all the time, so, for almost $300 beans?? Not very good value for money, best part about them is the case.

Make sure you try multiple tips. These perform really well when they are properly fitted.

There's no way I'd keep these used IEMs when I paid for new ones. It was unusual that they were not factory-sealed like some others I have received. Then, I noticed a piece of scotch tape on the top of the inside box. Opening it up, I noticed something on the inside cover. The cable was not tied up as it should be from the factory, and tips were scattered in the box. And worst of all, a small hair was on the tip of one of the IEMs. Yuck!

Best pair of IEM’s I’ve ever owned. For the price they are stunning. Been buying Fiio for may years; the company is now a bona fide player in the audiophile arena. The FH5s I use wired attached to a Fiio m11plus. Super-wide soundstage, warm, brilliant detail and if you listening closely to voices, these are perfect. They cover all types of music well. Can be a touch sibilant for some people so I used the three band gain switches on the earphones themselves to boost mid and bass and counter the treble. These earphones are quite heavy, I don't mind that. They work for me and I highly recommend this product.

Love the quality from this however if you want to use it you will want to get the Amp to power it properly. Couldn't get these to work simply by plugging it into the computer. Needed the Amp. Other than that it works flawless and the sound quality is crazy good!!!

Good quality

Hält das was es verspricht!!👍🏻

Poco coinvolgenti. C’è tutto ma non emoziona. Sub bassi poco presenti. Bassi presenti ma un po’ impastati. Medi nella norma. Acuti a volte troppo presenti e non molto cristallini. A questo prezzo gli FH15 sono molto migliori, anche se essendo chiusi possono risultare scomodi.
