Product Description
Large 13.6mm DLC dynamic driver
The diaphragm of the FH7S dynamic driver is made of DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon). Due to its highly damped nature, high rigidity, and light weight the dynamic driver is capable of rapid transient response – further adding to the sensation of dynamic bass that you will truly remember.
4 exclusively customized Knowles BA drivers
By adjusting the air permeability of the midrange drivers, it leads to a more natural, distinctive and smoother connection between bass, mids and highs. Meanwhile, vocals are clearer and more captivating with just-right richness.
The high frequencies are produced by the Knowles SWFK-31736 BA driver with its high resonant frequency. The driver contains richer highs details and airiness while also helping to further enhance the size of the soundstage, which is relaxed and comfortable to listen to.
2nd-gen semi-open design
The result is that when the drivers push air when making sound, that air encounters less resistance – resulting in a smoother yet detailed sound, natural timbre, large soundstage, and pinpoint accurate imaging.
Unique notch filter technology
Using finite element analysis and after numerous experiments, the development team created a unique notch filter for the FH7S. The notch filter precisely guides sound waves to eliminate unwanted resonances between the shell, sound tube, and ear canal to suppress undesirable sibilance – resulting in a detailed, transparent yet unfatiguing sound.
Large 13.6mm DLC dynamic driver
Patented S.TURBO acoustic design
The FiiO FH7S features the patented S.TURBO acoustic design*, which allows for deep bass that maintains plenty of nuance and texture. Sound waves are carefully guided through a turbine-shaped tube to enhance bass frequencies so that sounds like the beating of drums are appropriately thunderous and bold.
Comfort from 0.4mm
These new ear tips feature a large opening, same as the size of the FH7S sound tube, to minimize sound barriers between the earphone and the eardrum – which reduces high frequency loss and further enhances resolution.
[Hybrid IEM’s, 4BA+1DD]: FiiO’s new hybrid IEMs, the FH7S earphone 1 dynamic 4 BA driver design features a 2nd generation 13.6mm DLC diaphragm dynamic bass driver fully capable of extending to the lowest frequencies with ample punch. Mid and high frequencies are handled by a custom 4 Knowles BA setup that accurately reproduces every last musical detail. Together, these drivers provide a rich and detailed musical soundscape.[Sci-Fi armor design]: The FH7S features a design resembling that of armor seen in sci-fi, futuristic weaponry and machinery. the FH7S still retains an overall rounded shape that perfectly fits the human ear for comfortable extended listening sessions.[2nd-gen semi-open design]: The result is that when the drivers push air when making sound, that air encounters less resistance – resulting in a smoother yet detailed sound, natural timbre, large soundstage, and pinpoint accurate imaging.[Patented S.TURBO acoustic design]: The FiiO FH7S features the patented S.TURBO acoustic design*, which allows for deep bass that maintains plenty of nuance and texture.

Outstanding quality in terms of build and audio
I have nothing bad to say about these IEMs. I’ve had many pairs of IEMs over the past 15 years, but nothing that even comes remotely close to these, both in terms of build and audio quality.The sub bass is a true bassheads delight, not overpowering at all, but it’s there and there’s no lack of it. Some have complained that the mid bass is somewhat muddy and ever-present, but I’m using a BTR7 with built-in EQ and I’m able to tailor the sound specifically to my taste. I don’t have the mid-bass issue that others have talked about.Mids and highs are equally as good, even at ear bleed volumes, and they don’t scream out at you as some other IEMs that I’ve used. No sibilance issues and although they are not studio monitors, they weren’t really meant to be either. There is coloration of course, by design, and it works well for me. I can’t imagine cranking these things up to the BTR7’s capability, as you’d probably blow your eardrums long before you perceive any distortion.They are extremely efficient and require very little power to drive them. I’m using the 4.4 mm connector on the BTR 7, so again, very little power required to drive these things. With the amount of headroom that you have on a DAC, you have phenomenal clarity right through it the entire range. I’m using the bass filters and the foam tips and I get a pretty good seal with more than ample bass!Unlike most Bluetooth earbuds, they are not noise canceling other than the passive noise cancellation you obtain with a good fit and seal. These will definitely not ward off a jet engine if you’re sitting on the wing, nowhere near as effective as a good Bluetooth earbud but, that’s the only trade-off. There is no comparison to any Bluetooth earbud, Bose and Sony included. I have both of the latest and greatest in both brands, and they basically just sit on the shelf now, or I may use them for my TV, but now that I’ve been using these FH9’s, I don’t think I’ll be going back to a Bluetooth earbud for everyday listening, anytime soon.If you’re on the fence about these, just buy them. I can’t imagine anybody being disappointed in either the audio or build quality. They’re somewhat on the heavier side, which is a big plus for me, because they feel extremely balanced in my ears, and that little bit of extra weight when I take them out of the case, just assures me of the build quality. The cable seems like it belongs in a $2,000 pair of IEMs as well. This setup is not only great bang for the buck, but it’s probably great bang for three times that buck.I’ve used some IEMs at double and triple the price, and they just don’t sound like these. At this point I wouldn’t even think of anything else.Oh yeah, one more thing, all my listening has been done through YouTube music streaming via Bluetooth to my BTR 7. I have not yet signed up for Tidal, or any of the other lossless music services. I could only imagine how much better they would be. But even on Bluetooth from my phone, these things are insane.

Awesome Sound!
Truly an amazing set of iemâs. Set them up for bass and thump away. So many ear tips and a great carrying case. I paired mine with the FiiO BTR7 which I can’t recommend enough. Can’t beat these at the price point; they punch way above their weight class! Do yourself a favor and hit that buy it now button 😉

What a Difference a Dynamic Driver Makes!
I have been on a quest to find the right high-end earbuds for me, with these being the fourth pair, and the ones I’m keeping. The others I’ve tried ranged in price from $499 to $899 were all single or multiple balanced armature driver designs. Now, I’m not a total bass head, but I expect the low frequencies to have some impact, and I found that BA-only designs just don’t provide it, sounding hollow, and oomph-less to my ears. The dynamic bass driver in these FiiOs makes all the difference IMO. You get the clarity and detail in the lower-mid to high frequencies courtesy of the four balanced drivers, and the lower-mid to low frequency energy from the 13mm dynamic driver. They also happen to be the least expensive of the IEMs I tried. Go figure.These earbuds also provide better noise isolation than I expected, even though they use a vented / semi-open design. The selection of ear-tips is really good (I picked the memory foam ones), and so are the accessories, including the nice leather case. The one not-so-bright spot is the documentation on the interchangeable filters, which is non-existent. The filters come pretty much riveted into a chunk of metal, and so far I have not managed to pop out to try them, even using the provided tool. It’s a good thing I like how they sound as-is.

Outstanding Audio Quality, Comfortable, Superb Ear Tips
My 1st wired IEMs and I am very pleased. I use many wireless buds (Sony WF-1000XM5, Apple Air Pods Pro, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2) and these offer superior sound quality. Although they are all very good. Not great for travel due to their wired nature but my go to choice at the office or listening at home.Take the time to try the various tips to find the pair that fits you best & you will have exceptional noise isolation. I am so impressed how well these isolate noise! Sometimes better than the noise cancelling options because they feel so natural in my opinion.I am using these with an iFi Gryphon & a Hiby R6 Gen III. Use a balanced output for the best sound experience if possible. The swappable plugs are great too!There is nothing not to like. My only gripe is not 2.5mm plug tip included. Why not??

Bass/instrumental heaven 100%
In all honesty, I was very impressed by the way these IEMs actually held their own when listening to media and music. My main purpose for buying these beauties is mainly to replace my headphones, since I never really like the feel or comfort of them. I can confidently say that these IEMs call for those who crave bass since deep and low rumbles can be heard and somewhat felt if you have ears that arenât already dead. The soundstage also showcased accurate 360-degree sound since objects or instrumental music would be separated and placed in places I had no idea were possible. Gaming was the holy grail for these bad boys since Iâm a heavy fan of horror and fps and they did beautifully on cues and footsteps. I donât want to glaze them too much since itâs a bummer they didnât come with a microphone of its own, and little pet peeve is how heavy they are since they pop out occasionally if youâre not careful. Donât take this as a con though, since the material and weight feel premium to say the least.

Realmente me sorprendieron, la calidad de construcción, los accesorios que incluye, la calidad de sonido, todo está de acuerdo al costo, que no es nada barato. Pero creo que valen cada peso.

No estaba seguro cuando los compré, pero me han sorprendido gratamente por su gran calidad de sonido y comodidad. Para mi, la mejor combinación es con los filtros agudos (verdes) y las nuevas almohadillas de Fiio HS18 incluidas. Comprados en Zococity, para mi, la mejor y más fiable empresa dedicada al sonido en España.Altamente recomendables!

My First IEMs so I really didn’t know what I was getting, to be honest.I’d read a little, but basically took a risk. Well, that one paid off!The aspect I like the most is the versatility. Changing the filter and the tips really does change the sound, basically you get a lot of control over the IEM.The 13.6mm dynamic drivers really work,the bass is awesome! I was actually a bit shocked as to how good it is.Everything is there, mids, uppers…all I was looking for.But the key is picking the filter and tips, I can’t stress that enough. I’ve settled on the treble filter as the bass isn’t diminished, it’s just tighter. Tips, the new HS18s…I actually go to bed wearing these. Super comfortable and the sound is great.My main worry was the semi open design, just how bad would it be in the noisy world? Which led me to my most memorable and enjoyable experience: on a very noisy bus listening to AC/DC. I might as well have been sitting at home, I was smiling like a Cheshire cat!I can definitely recommend these, no reservations!

Buscaba auriculares que completaran mi experiencia musical con auriculares. He avanzado en el camino redescubriendo la música que creÃa conocer. Vi dos revisiones en las que un tal “Corvus” y otro tal “Suprapixel” se mostraban anormalmente apasionados lo que me motivó a hacer una búsqueda más amplia sobre los FIIO FH7S. Encontré un común denominador, un cierto apasionamiento que parecÃa sincero. Por mi parte he encontrado que son auriculares excelentes, suficientemente divertidos, con gran detalle, con una naturalidad increÃble. Perdonan lo que quieras, pero te dejan escuchar si el audio no es bueno. Muy, pero muy inmersivos. Y si te apura que sean semi abiertos, no te preocupes, el aislamiento es comparable a los totalmente cerrados, por mi parte no veo diferencia realmente importante. No dirÃa yo que son caros, los llamarÃa costosos ya que encuentro que la calidad del sonido y todo lo demás si realmente vale la pena el gasto. Déjalos que se aflojen, dales su periodo de quemado y, como fue en mi caso, disfruta aun más de como se acomoda y mejora la profundidad y las capas de sonido. ¿Recomendables? Por mi parte, te aseguro que totalmente. Si te los puedes dar y quieres quizá, brincarte varios gastos para llegar a auriculares todo terreno con un gran sonido de alta resolución verdadera desde la primera escucha, si date el gusto. Y aclaro, no, no me patrocinan. Solo replico y entiendo la sorpresa y el apasionamiento del tal “Corvus” y del otro tal “Suprapixel” para poder dedicar un poco de letras a este comentario esperando que te pueda servir.P.D. Un celular común los mueve sin problema, pero si le puedes agregar un dongle dac encontrarás que el sonido mejora aun más.

These are my favourite headphones. I think it may depend how you feel about in ear headphones but I have always preferred them and these are the best sounding set I have ever had. They are remarkable even when using a lower quality source. They are particularly lovely when playing string instruments.
